Technical Product Manager - Mortgages

Life can sometimes be unpredictable, and it pays to plan ahead. Our aim at Legal & General Retail is to help our customers plan for the unexpected, achieve financial security for their tomorrow, and protect everything that’s important to them. To better understand our customers and meet their needs, we’ve brought our protection, retirement income, savings, lending and advice, fintech and mortgage businesses under one umbrella. Created at the start of 2022 through the merging of our long-standing and trusted retail retirement and insurance businesses, we’re a fast-growing division with big, customer-centered ambitions.

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Product Manager to join us in Barnsley!

You’ll play a key role in ensuring the business has up to date information about lender criteria, affordability measures and available mortgage products to ensure Legal & General’s broker sourcing systems are accurate and to optimise the positioning of lenders products. You’ll also own the product journey and process flows whilst identifying risks and putting appropriate mitigators in place.
