Head of Product (Credit Technologies)

The opportunity

Credit Technologies is looking for a hands-on product leader to take clear ownership of our product function and customer experience. This person will set product direction, strengthen collaboration with engineering, and ensure our new propositions move seamlessly from strategy to well-defined, commercially successful customer experiences with AI at their core.

Central to the launch and development of Credit Angel and MoneyGuru, this role will lead the product application of our AI layer, creating conversational and personalized customer journeys to help customers understand their financial position and access suitable financial products. While technical architecture and engineering remain with the CTO, this role owns the overall product road map, user needs, priorities, and outcomes.

We are entering an exciting growth phase as we launch Credit Angel, our next-generation credit score and report app, and MoneyGuru, an AI-native personal finance assistant.

The role

The Head of Product will work alongside the Managing Director to shape and execute company-wide product strategy, roadmaps, and operating models. You will lead the existing product team, establish clear priorities, and act as the senior product counterpart to the CTO and engineering organisation.
