Compensation

Full Description

Senior Product Manager (Platform) We're hiring a Senior Product Manager to own and shape the platform at Heron: the core infrastructure, tooling, and systems that underpin everything we do for customers. If you want to define the technical foundation of a fast-growing AI company and work closely with world-class engineers, we'd love to hear from you. The Opportunity Every day, thousands of small businesses apply for funding. A broker emails over a stack of bank statements, tax returns, and application forms. A team of underwriters then spends hours on manual review. Heron automates that work: we read the emails, classify the documents, extract and enrich the data, run evaluations, and push decision-ready output straight into the customer's systems. 150+ funders, brokers, fintechs and insurers use us in production today. As we scale across verticals and geographies, the platform that powers all of this needs a dedicated product leader. That's where you come in. You'll own the product vision for Heron's platform: our workflow automation engine (affectionately known as Flowmingo), core data infrastructure, deployment tooling, and the abstractions that let our product teams ship confidently. You'll work directly with our platform engineers to define what to build and why. This is a deeply technical product role; it’s less about customer-facing UIs and much more about the systems and tooling that make everything else possible. What You'll Do Own platform product strategy: Define the vision for Heron's platform: what it is, what it can be, and what it should be. Translate that into a clear, prioritised roadmap Drive ‘Flowmingo’ forward: Own the product direction for our workflow automation engine, enabling templated deployments and scalable customer onboarding Work with senior engineers: Provide product direction to a strong backend engineering team. You'll need to earn their trust through technical credibility and sharp product thinking Build foundations for scale: Build the platform capabilities that our current and future customer vertical teams depend on: data modeling, infrastructure, billing, and developer experience Ship(!): Move fast, measure impact, and make pragmatic trade-offs. What We're Looking For 4-7 years of product management experience, with meaningful time owning a platform, infrastructure, or developer tools product You're technically fluent and can discuss system architecture, data models, and API design with senior engineers and hold your own You've shipped platform or infrastructure products and can point to specific outcomes you drove You're a strategic thinker who can zoom out to define a platform vision and zoom in to write a clear spec You have strong opinions about what good platform product management looks like, and you're excited to build it from scratch at a company with strong product-market fit Above all else, we value people who want to make an impact in their work. Here are some of the behaviours we expect of all Herons: Scrappy and creative: when faced with an obstacle, you will either overcome it by pure determination, or find an unconventional approach to navigate it Persistent: you may not always find the right answer immediately, but you're motivated to keep trying until you do. You'll go the extra mile if that's what it takes Pilot not passenger: at a fast-growing company like Heron we need people who jump on opportunities unprompted and drive them to a great outcome Excited to work in a fast-paced, high-growth, team-based environment: we aim to move quickly and decisively, but together What You Can Expect as a Heron Competitive compensation, including equity Based in-person in our London or NYC office Your choice of top-of-the-line equipment to fit out your desk Free mental health support via Spill - on-demand access to therapy Weekly company lunches (always inclusive and vegan friendly) Annual company retreats/offsites Applicants from any background and gender are welcome and we have a zero tolerance policy on discrimination
