We believe that people will do their best work when they're in a space that enables it. And that's what we've shaped at Wiser - a culture where everyone can be real and back themselves, surrounded by high performers who take ownership of their career and make moves, no matter what their background.

What's this role all about?

It takes 8 to 14 touchpoints to get a candidate to a careers site, and one bad experience to lose them. That's why we built WiserSite, our own careers site platform. It pairs consumer-grade UI with analytics, AI content tools and search optimisation, all built on more than 10 years of the Wiser method.

As our Product Manager, you'll join our Product team, a small crew of product specialists, designers and developers building world-class careers sites on WiserSite for some of the biggest brands in the world. We work as one agile team, with designers and developers side by side, to create the best website products for every client.

You'll help keep projects moving, keep clients in the loop and make sure every release is something we're proud of. It's an early-career role, so we don't expect you to know everything on day one. You'll get real responsibility from the start and build your technical confidence fast, working closely with our specialists.

What will you spend your time doing?

• You'll help manage website projects from the first UX/UI audit to launch day, keeping timelines, resourcing and workflows on track and flagging risks early

• You'll be a key point of contact for clients, building long-term relationships and making sure issues reach the right person and get fixed

• You'll support Key Accounts and Client Strategy in scoping new projects, and work with Product Design to turn briefs into UI candidates enjoy using

• You'll help manage and prioritise the backlog, turning ideas and designs into clear user stories and Jira tickets and tracking them through development. Know your way around sprint planning and retros? You'll stand out

• You'll review releases before they go live, from QA and user acceptance testing to making sure content goes into WiserSite correctly

• You'll get under the skin of client sites, their audiences and the competition, through UX/UI audits, user research, tracking and WiserSite's analytics, and bring back insight that shapes our quarterly product roadmap

• You'll translate tech for everyone else, in clear emails, content and decks, and run WiserSite training for clients and colleagues

What are we looking for?

• A real passion for product, with an understanding of how product teams work

• A grasp of the fundamentals: project management methods, timelines, sprints and QA, plus some experience of Jira or a similar tool

• Experience working alongside technical teams, whether that's developers, designers or project managers

• A strong eye for design and a genuine interest in building beautiful UI

• AI-native and tech efficient. You're curious about website development, you use AI every day to work faster and cleaner, and you know the difference between AI that sharpens the work and AI that adds slop

• You thrive at pace, happily juggling several live projects with our developers at once

• Bonus points if you've worked on website builds, whether in a company or your own experiments, run UX/UI audits, or know your way around SEO (extra credit for Answer Engine Optimisation)

What's in it for you?

• A Happiness team whose role is to make Wiser the best place to work possible. Whether it’s keeping the office stocked up with snacks, sending you a care package when you’re poorly, or planning the next Wiser party, they make the office a much happier place

• A culture calendar full of options - from black tie to sports day, book club or run club, there’s something for everyone.

• We’re pretty proud of the space we have here - from phone booths to walking pads, all the way to a rainforest for focus-time… whatever vibe you need, you can find it here.

• The W breakfast - our Happiness team makes sure everyone starts the day right with a hotel-worthy breakfast spread. Fancy coffee tap and unlimited fizzies on offer too.

• On top of your holiday allowance, the office also closes for up to 2 weeks over the festive period so we can all recharge before coming back in the new year.

• Wiser Bank Holiday - a beloved Purple People tradition in the form of an extra day off in October each year to celebrate our first ever million-pound-month (Yep, it happened in 2022 and we still celebrate)

• Moving House Day - one of life’s most stressful events made easier by an extra day off.

• Work from Anywhere - everyone has a number of days to work from home or wherever they fancy. Whether it’s staying home to snuggle your cat or working from Greece for a week in the summer, WFA is the answer.

• Learning & development - our monthly ‘Wiser Way’ days give you the chance to choose from a selection of training modules taught by our leaders. Whether it’s how to craft the perfect deck with our Creative Director, how to speak confidently about commercials with our CFO, or get some tips on managing for the first time with our Head of People, the schedule has something for everyone

• Therapy - with 5 therapists to choose from, each year you can get up to x3 therapy sessions subsidised through Wiser to take either here in our own secret Log Cabin, externally or online (you pay £20 a session and we cover the rest)

• Vitality Health Insurance - full coverage once you’ve passed probation. From necessities like the dentist, doctors and opticians, to mega rewards like Champneys, gym and travel discounts, it’s a winner.

• Gymbox - once passing probation, you can access our exclusive Wiser x Gymbox partnership where you can bag your Gymbox membership for less than half price.
