London In office 4 days/week Why This Role? * Real strategic weight: this isn’t a role where product strategy gets handed down from above. You’ll shape it alongside the CPO * Broad scope: This role gives you ownership across portals, mobile, API and integrations all at once * A product function that’s investing: we’re building out the team and the discipline, and this role is central to that * Commercial impact that’s visible: the products you own directly drive Modulr’s revenue and customer retention Who We Are Modulr is the payments automation platform that streamlines money movement with accuracy, control and reliability – built to scale.

We automate how money moves into and out of a business – payroll, supplier payments, spend management and payment collection – through a single platform, connected to the accounting and payroll systems finance teams already use and underpinned by principal memberships of Visa and Mastercard and direct access to central bank infrastructure.

You’ll lead a team of Product Managers and Designers, work directly with the CPO, and have real influence over where the product goes next. Lead and develop your team - You’ll manage, coach and grow a team of Product Managers and Product Designers. Setting clear goals, removing blockers, giving honest feedback and building the kind of team culture where people do their best work.

You’ll work with commercial, ops, risk and compliance to align product priorities with revenue goals and ensure your products are positioned to win in market. Run a tight delivery operation - You’ll partner with engineering to prioritise effectively and move at pace. End-to-end ownership means you’re responsible for go-live readiness, internal documentation, and making sure every launch is set up to succeed. Manage the ecosystem - You’ll cultivate relationships with channel partners and suppliers across accounting, payroll and travel, finding ways to deepen integrations and expand our product capabilities through those partnerships. Champion data and AI - You'll embed KPIs across your product lines and lead on AI-driven product innovation. You'll bring practical experience of applying AI to product and a clear point of view on where it creates real value. Your Product Portfolio * AP and payroll automation, supplier payments, expense management, collections and specialist travel payment product lines * Web-based portals serving a wide range of users: partners managing large customer books, treasurers, financial controllers, payment ops teams, accountancy practices and small business owners * Mobile app for account and expense management * Public API and developer experience including guides, documentation and sandbox * Third-party integrations with channel partners across accounting, payroll and travel inventory Who You Are * An experienced product leader who has run a multi-product portfolio in a fast-moving, complex environment and has the track record to show * Technically strong, with good knowledge of API ecosystems, B2B product development and sophisticated UX for non-consumer audiences * Commercially fluent: you understand pricing, positioning and go-to-market, and you’ve worked closely enough with sales and commercial teams to know how product decisions affect revenue * A people leader who takes developing others seriously: you hire well, give real feedback and build high performing teams * Able to hold a 2-year strategic view while staying close enough to execution that your team doesn’t lose direction * Confident operating in a regulated environment, with Fintech or SaaS experience preferred * A strong communicator and influencer at senior level, across internal stakeholders and external partners and customers * Genuinely curious about AI and how it applies to product, not just as a trend but as something you actively explore and experiment with WHAT WE OFFER YOU * Share Options – We offer a Company Share Option Plan (CSOP), giving you the opportunity to benefit from any increase in share value in the event of a sale, merger, or flotation. * Bonus – Our annual discretionary bonus, paid in May for the previous year, is based on both company and individual performance. * Flexible benefits - £1000 to spend on benefits to suit you, including private medical insurance, gym membership, dental etc. * Wellbeing app – confidential, on-demand access to therapy, coaching, counselling, management training or mindfulness sessions with accredited professionals, with company-funded hours and top-up options available. * Holidays - 33 days annual leave (including bank holidays) plus your birthday off.

The consumer marketplace unlocks revenue potential for partner businesses by leveraging the power of online bookings and automated marketing through mobile apps and advanced integrations with major tech brands including Instagram, Facebook and Google. We process millions of transactions and generate rich behavioural data across consumers and partners. Despite this, data science is still early at Fresha. That's the opportunity. About the Role We're hiring a Head of Data Science to build DS into a core function at Fresha, not manage what already exists. Today the team is small but technically strong. We have production ML models in fraud detection, text moderation, and taxonomy classification, running on SageMaker with a dbt/Snowflake data stack. But we're operating reactively, and we know there's significantly more value DS can unlock across the marketplace. You'll have a clear mandate, leadership buy-in, and a technically strong team already in place. Your job is to set the direction, grow the team, and make data science visible and indispensable to how Fresha makes decisions and builds products. This role is right for you if you've done this before - taken a small DS team at a scaling company and turned it into something the business can't operate without. To foster a collaborative environment that thrives on face-to-face interactions and teamwork, this role will be based in our dog-friendly office 5 days per week in London: The Bower, 207-122, Old Street, London EC1V 9NR.
