Curious about what’s next? So are we. Join Compare the Market and help to make financial decision making a breeze for millions.

At Compare the Market, we’re a purpose-driven business powered by tech and AI. We’re building high-performing, results-driven teams with the skills, mindset, and ambition to deliver outcomes at pace. Every role here plays a part in driving our mission forward, and we create an environment where you can bring your authentic self, grow a truly characterful career, and see the direct impact of your work on the lives of our customers.

We’ve carved a meerkat-shaped niche and we’re looking for ambitious, curious thinkers who thrive in a fast-moving, high-impact environment. If you love accountability, embrace challenge, and want to make a real difference, you’ll fit right in.

We’re hiring a Platform Product Manager to help shape and own the next generation of our internal platform. We’re moving deliberately toward a platform-as-a-product model, where shared services, data contracts and UI frameworks are treated as products with clear vision, roadmaps and measurable outcomes. This role is central to that shift.

The role is technical, working closely with engineering, UX, architecture and journey teams to create a scalable, reliable and easy-to-consume platform that accelerates delivery across the organisation.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Own the roadmap and strategy for several platform services used across our site for all mediums – web, app, AI assts.
  • Define and evolve platform APIs, data contracts and integration patterns.
  • Own and improve the schema-driven UI framework to ensure it renders consistently under varied states and data structures.
  • Work with engineering to shape technical solutions, prioritise work and plan delivery.
  • Drive improvements to platform reliability, latency, observability and scalability.
  • Help establish and embed the platform-as-a-product mindset, focusing on reusability, adoption and measurable value.
  • Ensure platform capabilities are straightforward for product teams to consume.

What We’re Looking For

  • Thinks in platforms, not features - understands service boundaries, APIs, contracts, scaling, and long-term maintainability.
  • Can define and own a clear platform vision, and turn that into a coherent roadmap that multiple squads can rally around.
  • Is comfortable working closely with engineering on architectural decisions and technical trade-offs.
  • Can collaborate with UX and FE engineering to evolve a flexible, schema-driven UI framework that adapts cleanly to BFF-provided data.
  • Understands the importance of reliability, observability and performance for platform adoption.
  • Communicates clearly, cuts through complexity and creates alignment across teams.
  • Proven experience as a Platform PM or Technical PM in a back-end–heavy environment.
  • Strong grasp of system architecture, APIs, event flows or service-oriented design.
  • Experience working with BFF patterns or schema-driven UI frameworks.

Why Compare the Market?

We’re a business built for pace and performance. Here, you’ll be encouraged to think differently, act boldly, and deliver brilliantly in a culture that values results and rewards progress.

We believe diverse teams make better decisions, and we’re committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels empowered to grow, contribute, and thrive.

If you’re ready to stretch yourself, raise the bar, and grow with a team that’s serious about performance, innovation, and purpose, we’d love to hear from you.
