Through technology, we enable social housing providers to effectively manage and sustain their properties, fostering better lives for tenants. Our mission is to connect people, process and property, helping social housing providers digitalise critical operations, improve resident experiences and create more effective, sustainable housing services. We provide housing management software and digital solutions for the UK social housing sector, supporting housing associations, local authorities and other registered providers as they manage increasingly complex operational, regulatory and resident expectations. The Role We are looking for a Senior Product Manager with deep UK social housing domain knowledge to help shape the future of our social housing product portfolio. This is not a generic SaaS product role. The successful candidate will understand how social landlords operate, how housing teams make decisions, and how software can improve outcomes across residents, housing officers, repairs teams, asset teams, finance teams, compliance leaders and senior executives. Product management experience is important, but social housing domain expertise is essential. Role Purpose As Senior Product Manager, you will own a strategically important area of our social housing product portfolio and be responsible for understanding the market, customers, regulatory environment and operational workflows, then translating that insight into clear product strategy, roadmap priorities and commercially valuable product outcomes. You may already be a Product Manager, Senior Product Manager or Product Owner in social housing software. You may also come from social housing systems ownership, implementation consultancy, business analysis, digital transformation or operational leadership, provided you can demonstrate strong product thinking and the ability to shape software that customers value. Key Responsibilities Market, Customer and Domain Insight: Act as a credible voice of the UK social housing market, maintaining a strong understanding of customer needs, sector pressures, regulatory change and competitor activity. Use this insight to identify product opportunities and ensure roadmap decisions are grounded in real customer and market evidence. Product Strategy and Roadmap: Own the product strategy and roadmap for your area, balancing customer value, commercial impact, regulatory need, technical health and delivery capacity. Make clear prioritisation decisions and communicate trade-offs confidently to customers, internal teams and senior stakeholders. Product Discovery and Delivery: Work closely with customers, Engineering, Design, Architecture, QA and Data teams to shape valuable, usable and deliverable product outcomes. Lead product discovery, define clear requirements and support delivery through to launch, adoption and iteration. Customer Experience and User Experience: Champion the importance of CX and UX in social housing software, recognising that poor user experience directly impacts adoption, operational efficiency, support demand and resident outcomes. Ensure products are designed around the real workflows of housing teams, residents and partners. Commercial and Go to Market Impact: Connect product decisions to commercial outcomes, including retention, expansion, adoption, differentiation and revenue growth. Support business cases, pricing and packaging discussions, product launches, tender responses and strategic customer conversations. AI, Data and Innovation: Identify opportunities to use AI, automation and data led insight to improve operational efficiency, decision making and customer experience where there is clear customer value. Bring a thoughtful approach to innovation, balancing opportunity with trust, transparency, data protection and sector specific risk. Stakeholder Leadership: Build strong relationships across Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Implementation, Support and senior leadership. Provide clarity on priorities, manage competing demands and represent the product area credibly in both internal and customer facing settings. Essential Experience Deep UK social housing domain experience. This is mandatory. Strong understanding of housing association, local authority or registered provider operations. Experience with housing management systems, tenant/resident portals, repairs platforms, asset systems, compliance systems or other social housing software.

Through technology, we enable social housing providers to effectively manage and sustain their properties, fostering better lives for tenants. Our mission is to connect people, process and property, helping social housing providers digitalise critical operations, improve resident experiences and create more effective, sustainable housing services. We provide housing management software and digital solutions for the UK social housing sector, supporting housing associations, local authorities and other registered providers as they manage increasingly complex operational, regulatory and resident expectations. The Role We are looking for a Senior Product Manager with deep UK social housing domain knowledge to help shape the future of our social housing product portfolio. This is not a generic SaaS product role. The successful candidate will understand how social landlords operate, how housing teams make decisions, and how software can improve outcomes across residents, housing officers, repairs teams, asset teams, finance teams, compliance leaders and senior executives. Product management experience is important, but social housing domain expertise is essential. Role Purpose As Senior Product Manager, you will own a strategically important area of our social housing product portfolio and be responsible for understanding the market, customers, regulatory environment and operational workflows, then translating that insight into clear product strategy, roadmap priorities and commercially valuable product outcomes. You may already be a Product Manager, Senior Product Manager or Product Owner in social housing software. You may also come from social housing systems ownership, implementation consultancy, business analysis, digital transformation or operational leadership, provided you can demonstrate strong product thinking and the ability to shape software that customers value. Key Responsibilities Market, Customer and Domain Insight: Act as a credible voice of the UK social housing market, maintaining a strong understanding of customer needs, sector pressures, regulatory change and competitor activity. Use this insight to identify product opportunities and ensure roadmap decisions are grounded in real customer and market evidence. Product Strategy and Roadmap: Own the product strategy and roadmap for your area, balancing customer value, commercial impact, regulatory need, technical health and delivery capacity. Make clear prioritisation decisions and communicate trade-offs confidently to customers, internal teams and senior stakeholders. Product Discovery and Delivery: Work closely with customers, Engineering, Design, Architecture, QA and Data teams to shape valuable, usable and deliverable product outcomes. Lead product discovery, define clear requirements and support delivery through to launch, adoption and iteration. Customer Experience and User Experience: Champion the importance of CX and UX in social housing software, recognising that poor user experience directly impacts adoption, operational efficiency, support demand and resident outcomes. Ensure products are designed around the real workflows of housing teams, residents and partners. Commercial and Go to Market Impact: Connect product decisions to commercial outcomes, including retention, expansion, adoption, differentiation and revenue growth. Support business cases, pricing and packaging discussions, product launches, tender responses and strategic customer conversations. AI, Data and Innovation: Identify opportunities to use AI, automation and data led insight to improve operational efficiency, decision making and customer experience where there is clear customer value. Bring a thoughtful approach to innovation, balancing opportunity with trust, transparency, data protection and sector specific risk. Stakeholder Leadership: Build strong relationships across Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Implementation, Support and senior leadership. Provide clarity on priorities, manage competing demands and represent the product area credibly in both internal and customer facing settings.
