At RVU, we combine the close-knit and agile environment of a startup with the know-how, technology, and backing of a well established company.

Our mission is to empower people and transform industries. With our unique set of brands, including Uswitch, Tempcover, and Money.co.uk, we have the power to reach millions of consumers and the technology to deliver a world class online experience for them.

About Uswitch:

Uswitch is the leading force and consumer champion brand in the home services industry, helping millions of households make better informed decisions about their utilities, broadband, and financial services. Now, we've embarked on an exciting new journey, creating innovative home management solutions that leverage the latest technologies (including LLMs/agents) to help customers manage and optimize their energy and wider home services usage effectively, thereby creating whole new ways for us to use technology to put consumers in control of their bills.

The Role:

We are seeking an exceptional Director of Product to spearhead the development of "Utrack by Uswitch", a new business initiative focused on home management. The role will also be responsible for other related multi category Uswitch customer propositions.

• Team Leadership: Build and lead a cross functional team, fostering a culture of collaboration and excellence.
• Customer Focus: Deeply understand customer needs using quantitative and qualitative insights, driving solutions that deliver genuine value and customer delight.
• Roadmap Ownership: Direct the product roadmap, balancing near term priorities with longer term vision.
• Commercial Strategy: Collaborate across marketing, engineering, and other teams to ensure product success.
• Testing and Iteration: Foster a culture of experimentation, using data and customer feedback to continuously improve.

What You'll Bring to the Role:

• Proven Product Leadership: A track record of scaling consumer facing digital products to millions of monthly active users and leading high performing cross functional product teams or teams of teams. Experience in energy, health tracking or fintech is highly desirable.
• AI/agentic native: You're at the forefront of applying and exploring the potential for AI in products and ways of working; prior experience in building and running agentic products is highly desirable.
• Entrepreneurial Mindset: A proactive approach to building and shaping products and the associated P&L.
• Customer Centricity: A deep understanding of customer pain points and how to translate those into innovative product solutions.
• Analytical Expertise: Strong ability to interpret data and use it to inform decisions and demonstrate product success.
• Communication Skills: Exceptional ability to influence and collaborate with senior stakeholders, tailoring messaging to diverse audiences.
• Resilience and Adaptability: Able to create clarity in ambiguous situations, with a focus on delivering results in a fast paced environment.
