THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Lead product marketing manager to join our Marketing team. This is a newly created role designed to bring greater clarity, consistency and commercial impact to how Seccl’s platform is understood, positioned and adopted.

You’ll turn deep product understanding into clear commercial narratives, practical enablement and stronger customer adoption. Sitting within the Marketing team and broader commercial function, you’ll work closely with Product, Sales and Growth to understand where customers realise value, where friction exists, and how Seccl’s platform can support both new pipeline and existing customer growth.

Seccl powers investment propositions for digital banks, wealthtechs, investment platforms and adviser firms. As we scale, we need someone senior enough to shape product marketing at Seccl, but hands-on enough to do the hard work themselves: building product fluency, creating usable materials, improving adoption and turning insight into clear, actionable outputs.

You’ll play a key role in making sure our propositions are easy to understand, commercially relevant and consistently used across the business - supporting launches, sales conversations, customer growth, website messaging, campaigns and strategic opportunities.

ON A TYPICAL DAY YOU WILL BE…

• Building a deep understanding of Seccl’s platform, operating model, customer journeys, implementation realities, commercial model and growth levers
• Supporting product launches, feature adoption and customer-facing communications that help firms understand and use more of the Seccl platform
• Turning product, customer and market insight into clear messaging, propositions and enablement materials
• Partnering with Product, Sales, Growth and Marketing to build trust, clarify ways of working and create useful feedback loops
• Using buyer, user, competitor, CRM and win/loss insight to sharpen how Seccl is positioned and sold
• Creating practical sales enablement, objection handling, campaign messaging and website messaging that helps commercial teams explain value clearly
• Capturing insight from customers, prospects and internal teams, and turning it into recommendations for positioning, packaging, prioritisation and roadmap conversations
• Supporting and developing others through clear direction, useful feedback and high standards

THIS ROLE’S FOR YOU IF...

• You have strong product marketing, proposition or go-to-market experience in a B2B technology, fintech, SaaS or similarly complex environment
• You’re curious about technical detail and can turn a complex platform into clear, useful messaging
• You’re commercially minded, with a strong understanding of how messaging and enablement support pipeline, conversion and customer growth
• You’re hands-on and practical, comfortable creating useful work yourself rather than only setting the strategy
• You collaborate well across product, sales, growth, marketing and customer-facing teams
• You’re confident using customer, market and CRM insight to identify trends and turn them into practical recommendations
• You bring structure, rigour and momentum without over-engineering or slowing teams down
• You’re curious about how AI is changing product marketing, including how teams enable sales, share internal knowledge, understand competitors and show up in buyer research journeys

THIS ROLE ISN’T FOR YOU IF...

• You rely on a lot of top-down direction. Here, you’ll have a lot of freedom and ownership of your role, and you’ll be expected to shape your own progression
• You’re not comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. Our speed and scalability are what set us apart; you need to be able to act quickly and think on your feet
• You struggle to follow through on ideas. We value people who do what they say they will. If you care about something, you have the freedom here to make it happen
• You don’t like change. You’ll get on great here if you relish the ambiguity of rapid growth and are willing to embrace uncertainty

• Second stage – one-hour technical interview or assessment with several key stakeholders from across the business
• Final stage – 45 mins bar-raiser culture-based interview
