About Zero Deposit

Renting a new home can be stressful and expensive. At Zero Deposit, we’re changing that. We are a market-defining business on a mission to make renting easier, faster and fairer. We will only do that with an exceptional team, a market-leading product and an amazing customer experience.

Your experience at Zero Deposit will be different to a traditional insurer or broker. We’re using insurance to bring an antiquated process up to date and improve it beyond that. We combine technology, data and user-centric design to deliver faster decisions, better outcomes and a more scalable operating model.

About the Role

We are building out our products, services and experiences that will transform Zero Deposit from individual products and journeys into a single, scalable, connected experience across customers, partners and internal teams.

The Product Manager will play a key role in coordinating and delivering the product roadmap, working closely with engineering and stakeholders to turn ideas and proposals into execution.

This role exists to help deliver the roadmap needed to execute this vision, including:

• Coordinate the product roadmap, ensuring stakeholder input is captured and communicated clearly

• Work with stakeholders to ensure all projects, features and objectives are clearly defined and understood before delivery

• Facilitate sprint ceremonies and own the product management tooling (Shortcut) to support effective delivery

• Support roadmap planning by managing capacity and resourcing visibility, enabling stakeholders to make informed investment decisions based on cost and benefit.
