Senior Product Manager - Identity
We are looking for an experienced Senior Product Manager - to own and grow the portfolio of identity products, end‑to‑end, with a focus on strategic growth and commercial impact.
Company outline
MiExact is a leading life-events data intelligence business. We exist to help organisations respond with care, accuracy and integrity at life’s most significant moments – because when people’s lives change, the way organisations respond really matters.
At the heart of MiExact is a unique set of data gathered from key life events – from moving home, to retirement, to death. We take great care in how this data is sourced, governed and analysed, transforming complex raw data feeds into high-value insight and intelligence for clients across the sectors we serve, including charities, credit reference agencies, pension providers and financial services organisations. We are proud to work closely with most of the UK’s best loved charities as well as many household brands.
MiExact has grown rapidly over the last five years through a series of mergers and acquisitions, bringing together highly respected specialist businesses under one group. Within this sit our Identity and Charity Divisions, including Legacy Futures and Smee & Ford – brands that have played a defining role in the growth and professionalisation of legacy giving to charities over many decades, a market that will be worth £10bn by 2050.
This is an exciting time to join the business at the start of a new three-year strategy and at the formation of a new, combined Product and Data function.
