About the Role:

Forbes Advisor is investing in the platform and technology that power our business, and we’re looking for a best-in-class Technical Product Manager to help drive it forward. This hands-on role will take ownership of the technical product initiatives that keep our platform secure, scalable and ready for what’s next. You’ll become the go-to person for turning strategic goals into technical reality – shaping the architecture, capabilities and tooling that let every team move faster. Above all, you’ll deliver solutions that create real, measurable value.

Great products are built on great foundations – so getting the technical detail right is everything. You’ll own the development lifecycle end to end, from early-stage requirements through delivery and ongoing optimisation, making sure what we build is robust today and extensible tomorrow.

You’ll bring technical product initiatives to life across the business, working alongside functions including Engineering, Data and Analytics, Privacy & Security, Compliance and the wider Product team. You’ll turn business goals and technical opportunity into a clear, prioritised roadmap, keeping feasibility, scalability and ROI at the centre of every decision.

The person we’re looking for is a genuine all-rounder who’s as comfortable in a technical architecture discussion as in a stakeholder update. You’re a self-starter and an exemplary communicator who bridges the gap between technical and non-technical teams and reliably delivers what matters most.

Responsibilities:

Strategy & roadmap

• Own the product strategy and roadmap for technical initiatives across the business, aligned to overall business goals – balancing innovation with execution readiness and available technical capacity.

• Build and maintain a prioritised, transparent backlog, ensuring the roadmap reflects the evolving needs of the business and the realities of technical delivery.

Requirements & delivery

• Lead the development lifecycle of technical product initiatives, from early-stage requirements gathering through delivery and ongoing optimisation.

• Collaborate with business stakeholders to turn strategic goals into clear functional and non-functional requirements.

• Translate complex business needs into detailed technical specifications and user stories that engineering teams can implement effectively and efficiently.

Architecture, platform & scalability

• Work hand-in-hand with technical leads to shape platform architecture, prioritise infrastructure improvements, and ensure systems are secure, scalable and extensible.

• Help define the internal processes and documentation standards that enable repeatable, scalable technical delivery across multiple teams and initiatives.

AI, automation & data

• Partner closely with Data and Analytics to identify where AI, automation or intelligent tooling can enhance workflows and user experience.

• Evaluate use cases on feasibility, technical constraints and ROI, and turn the strongest into delivered capabilities that move the numbers that matter.

Stakeholder communication

• Serve as the communication bridge between technical and non-technical teams, keeping everyone aligned on product vision, delivery status and the technical trade-offs being made.

• Act as the central point of contact for your initiatives, keeping senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams aligned on shared outcomes.

What you’ll bring:

• 4+ years in technical product management (or a related role), ideally in a platform, infrastructure, with a track record of delivering high-impact products.

• Proven ability to translate complex business problems into clear technical requirements and product plans.

• Strong grasp of APIs, data pipelines, platform architecture and modern development practices.

• Comfortable working closely with engineering teams and holding your own in technical discussions.

• Experience evaluating the business value and feasibility of AI, automation and analytics-driven solutions.

• Exemplary communication and stakeholder skills, with a proven ability to bridge technical teams and business stakeholders.

• Data-driven, curious and proactive, with a practical mindset focused on delivering value through iterative, testable solutions.

• Happy to be hands-on in a fast-moving, expanding team.
