Lead product marketing manager

Hybrid role with three days a week in our central London office

Seccl is the Octopus-owned embedded investment platform, on a mission to help more people invest, and invest well.

We’re building the infrastructure behind the next generation of investing. Our technology already powers some of the UK’s most ambitious fintechs, banks, financial advisers and wealth firms, with close to a million investors relying on Seccl-powered platforms. And we’re now expanding into Europe.

We’ve got a proven product, strong momentum and big ambitions for what comes next: helping more household-name brands launch and scale investment propositions, entering new markets and replacing outdated investment infrastructure with technology that’s faster, simpler and built for scale.

We’re proud to be part of Octopus, one of the UK’s most successful privately held investment and technology groups. That gives us the backing and long-term perspective to build something substantial, while keeping the pace and energy of a high-growth business. Seccl and Octopus are both B Corp certified and share a belief that profit and purpose should go hand in hand.

If you want to help shape the future of investing in the UK and across Europe, you’ll be in good company.

We’re looking for a lead product marketing manager to join our marketing team.
You’ll be the product expert within marketing – someone who gets properly under the skin of what we’re building, why we’re building it and the value it creates for our customers.
Working closely with our product, sales and customer-facing teams, you’ll turn that understanding into clearer propositions, stronger product adoption and more compelling ways of explaining Seccl’s value to existing customers and future prospects.
We’re looking for someone senior enough to shape product marketing at Seccl, but who also enjoys getting into the detail – understanding how things work, asking difficult questions and turning complex capabilities into clear, useful outputs.

• Getting under the skin of Seccl’s products – working closely with product teams to understand what we’re building, why it matters, how it works and where it creates value for customers

• Working closely with product teams throughout the product lifecycle, from discovery and development through to launch and adoption

• Building trusted relationships across product, sales, customer and marketing, and establishing practical ways of working

• Helping existing customer firms understand and use more of the platform, supporting feature adoption and customer growth

• Using buyer, customer, competitor, CRM and win/loss insight to sharpen Seccl’s positioning and messaging

• Helping commercial teams explain Seccl’s value through clearer propositions, sales materials, objection handling and support for priority deals

• Building better feedback loops between customers, commercial teams and product, turning insight into recommendations that inform product and commercial decisions

• Supporting and developing others through clear direction, useful feedback and high standards

• You have strong product marketing, proposition or go-to-market experience in a product-led B2B technology, fintech, SaaS or similarly complex environment

• You’re genuinely fascinated by technology and how products work. You enjoy getting into technical detail, asking questions and working out how to explain complex capabilities in ways that make sense to different audiences

• You have a strong commercial instinct and understand how product marketing can support both new business and existing customer growth

• You enjoy getting stuck into the work yourself, while also being able to think strategically and set direction

• You build strong relationships across teams, and are comfortable challenging thinking and influencing decisions

• You’re confident working with customer, market and CRM data to identify trends and turn insight into useful recommendations

• You’re comfortable working in ambiguity, bringing structure and rigour without unnecessary process

• You’re curious about how AI is changing product marketing, from sales enablement and internal knowledge sharing to how buyers research and discover suppliers

• You only work at strategy level. We’re looking for someone who also enjoys getting into the detail and producing practical, useful work, as well as setting direction

• You need everything clearly defined from day one. There’s plenty of opportunity to shape how product marketing works at Seccl, so you’ll need to be comfortable with ambiguity and building things as you go

• You value process over progress. We need structure and rigour, but also someone who can make decisions and keep things moving when the answers aren’t clear-cut

• You prefer to work independently of other teams. This is a highly collaborative role, and your success will depend on building trust and strong working relationships across the business

We offer a generous mix of benefits designed around the things that matter to our people:

• 💰 A salary between £80,000 and £95,000, reviewed annually, plus a 6% employer pension contribution and life assurance

• 🌴 27 days’ holiday plus bank holidays, your birthday off and paid dependant leave

• 💙 Two volunteering days each year

• 🌎 The option to work abroad for up to six weeks a year

• 🌟 Secclbrate, our recognition programme offering flexible rewards including extra pay, additional holiday and increased learning budget

• 🏅 One-month paid sabbatical after eight years

• 🏥 Private medical insurance with AXA Health

• 👪 Enhanced parental leave

• 💻 MacBook and up to £500 towards your home office set-up

• 📖 Annual learning budget

• 🌻 Health and wellbeing support, including free therapy through Wellness Cloud and mental health support through Headspace

• 🌱 Financial wellbeing benefits, including Octopus Money, the Octopus Share Incentive Plan and will writing through Octopus Legacy

• 🎁 Perkbox, with flexible points and a range of discounts and perks

• 🚲 Access to Cycle to Work and Octopus Electric Vehicle Leasing

We put people first and try hard to create an environment where people feel trusted, heard and able to do their best work.

We value openness, curiosity and different perspectives. You’ll have the freedom to challenge how things are done, experiment with better ways of working and take real ownership of your impact.
