In a nutshell

We are looking to expand our Product and Technology team and we are looking to hire a Product Owner. Reporting directly to the founder, you’ll act as the lynchpin between our Engineering Team and the wider business, ensuring alignment between the business and technology goals. 

We're a Remote First business - work from your home office or our London office - you choose to help you manage a busy lifestyle with flexible working opportunities!

What is Dashly all about? 

Our mission is to give homeowners a better deal on their mortgage, getting them off expensive Standard Variable Rates and taking the waste out of the market for distributing mortgage products.

We’ve got an ambitious vision to create a suite of products that together will reshape the mortgage market for the good of all. We’re creating a platform that puts control over their mortgage back in the hands of homeowners, taking the pain out of staying informed and changing the market to drive fairer mortgage deals. 

To do that we’ll gather, enrich and leverage data about consumer’s mortgages to offer lenders new, more efficient ways to design and distribute products, and we’re building tools that let advisors truly manage their customer relationships and empower them to improve the service they can offer their clients.

What's the role?

• Develop and maintain the backlog for your product area(s); ensuring alignment to business goals and our technology strategy

• Be the champion for your product – produce and present clear communications to ensure buy-in
