About this role

About us:
Spectrum.Life is a whole-of-health digital partner that guides organisations and their people to thrive, delivering clinically backed digital health, mental health and wellbeing solutions.

Our HealthTech delivers digital transformation for Insurers, Educators and Employers through Co-creation or seamlessly integrated out-of-the-box solutions, that decrease digital fragmentation and engage, empower, and transform their people’s lives.

Established in 2018 by Stuart McGoldrick and Stephen Costello, Spectrum.Life provides services internationally to over 7.2m insurance members, 3,000 corporate clients, 60 universities and 650,000 university students. Spectrum.Life currently employs over 450 people.

Our vision is to change and save as many lives as possible.
Role Brief:
We are looking for a Junior Product Manager with around two years’ experience to join our Product team at Spectrum.Life. You will support the delivery of products from discovery through to launch and ongoing improvement, working across our full product portfolio, with connected mental health at its core, under the guidance of the Head of Product and alongside more experienced Product Managers. This role suits someone who has built a solid foundation in product management and is ready to grow their scope, confidence and ownership.

You will bring a good grounding in product management practice and a willingness to learn how modern software is built. A technical understanding is desirable rather than essential, and we will support you to develop it. You won’t be expected to write code. You will be expected to turn needs into clear requirements, apply our prioritisation approach with discipline, and help take products to market and keep them improving.

You will work closely with our clinical, commercial, technical and data teams, so that what we build is clinically safe, commercially sound and valued by the organisations and people who use it. A clinical background is not required, though some understanding is desirable and we will help you build it. We operate in a regulated healthcare environment, and you will learn how to help us deliver at pace without compromising safety, quality or governance.
Schedule:
Responsibilities:
Product strategy and roadmap
Support the product vision, strategy and roadmap, bringing insight from clients, users, clinicians and delivery teams.
Contribute to business cases that set out customer value, commercial impact, effort and risk.
Use market insight, client feedback, usage data and outcomes data to help identify opportunities and inform what we build next.
Working as part of the Product team
Work as part of the wider Product team, alongside the other Product Managers and the Head of Product, sharing knowledge, standards and good practice.
Take part in roadmap, prioritisation and planning sessions, offering constructive challenge and aligning on shared decisions.
Track dependencies with other product workstreams and flag risks early, so that delivery across the portfolio stays joined up.
Take part in peer review of requirements and documentation, giving and receiving feedback, and cover for colleagues where needed.
Discovery and requirements
Take part in discovery with clients, members, clinicians and internal teams, leading elements of it with support, to understand needs, workflows and pain points.
Translate complex user journeys and business needs into clear epics, features, user stories and acceptance criteria.
Support stakeholder workshops and produce clear documentation, process flows and system diagrams.
Delivery
Manage and refine the product backlog for your products, prioritising features, enhancements and technical debt based on value, risk and effort, with guidance from senior colleagues.
Work with engineering, QA, architecture and UX to plan, refine and deliver high-quality releases on time.
Run sprint ceremonies and product demos, and escalate blockers promptly to keep delivery moving.
Plan releases and publish clear release notes for stakeholders after each deployment.
Review and respond to small works and change requests, and manage them against roadmap priorities with support from the Head of Product.
Clinical governance and quality
Work with the Head of Product and internal clinical teams to embed clinical requirements and safety considerations from the start.
Support clinical sign-off, risk assessment and change control, keeping documentation audit ready.
Contribute to regulatory and quality documentation where products fall within a regulated framework, including requirements traceability.
Go-to-market and commercial support
Support Commercial and Marketing to position products and respond to bids and tenders, and join client meetings, with increasing responsibility, to explain product capability.
Help define and track success measures, including adoption, engagement, clinical outcomes and commercial performance, and act on what they show.
Support launch readiness with Customer Success and Operations, and provide post-launch support and iteration.
Ways of working
Work with the team to apply our product standards and ways of working consistently, sharing ideas and learning so that we keep improving together.
Keep documentation for your products in Jira and Confluence current and easy to find, so colleagues across product, engineering and clinical teams can rely on it.
Explore the responsible use of AI tools with the team, for example drafting requirements, refining documentation and supporting backlog management, and share what works.
Requirements:
