Team description

- Run discovery, experimentation and iteration cycles against activation targets, and report progress to consumer leadership

- Experience leading a consumer product area with clear commercial and KPI accountability
- Strong track record of prioritising effectively across competing demands from multiple teams and stakeholders
- Experience driving engagement or retention within a consumer-facing mobile app used at scale
- Comfort balancing risk or compliance requirements against a smooth, user-friendly product experience
- Ability to build strong relationships across engineering, design, data and marketing, and communicate progress clearly to leadership
