At GWI we’re always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. We’re looking for a Technical Product Manager to play a key role in our calculations squad of the Platform Product team in London. If that’s you, and making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, keep reading.

Overview

As our Technical Product Manager you’ll sit within the Calculations squad of the Platform Product team, who are responsible for GWI’s high-performance computation engine that processes billions of data points to deliver fast, accurate, and scalable insights. This system sits at the core of our platform, powering in-memory data processing across all our products and services. You’ll work closely with engineering teams to define how our core calculations, APIs, and data pipelines power end-user insights. You’ll ensure that our platform remains scalable, reliable, and future-proof, while translating highly technical capabilities into clear product outcomes.

This role is ideal for someone who loves solving complex technical challenges, thrives in cross-functional collaboration, and is excited by building systems that empower customers to uncover meaningful insights at scale.

Responsibilities

• Define and own the roadmap and backlog for backend systems (calculation engine, APIs, data processing pipelines) that power insights across our platform.
• Translate technical detail into clarity; document expected system behaviors and calculations logic, write product requirements, and communicate technical changes to internal and external stakeholders.
• Collaborate with engineering leads to prioritize and deliver performance, scalability, and reliability improvements without disrupting team autonomy.
• Partner with cross-functional teams (Data Science, Research, Customer Success) to ensure backend capabilities align with product strategy and customer needs.
• Drive technical alignment by facilitating discussions, clarifying dependencies, and ensuring consistent delivery across multiple product squads.
• Evangelize the platform internally and externally, helping stakeholders understand how our core systems translate into customer value.

It’s also fun; shaking things up is what working for a growing company is all about. You’ll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and able to work in a high-tempo environment as we grow.

What you’ll bring

You’ll need to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don’t have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you’re willing to learn. Here’s what the team will be looking for:

• Experience in Product Management (3+ years), preferably in SaaS, B2B, data, or platform-oriented environments.
• Technical fluency; you can comfortably engage with engineers on topics like APIs, distributed systems, data pipelines, or containerized services (i.e. Docker, Kubernetes).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into structured, actionable product requirements.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Proven ability to work in high-autonomy environments, supporting engineering teams while driving alignment with business priorities.
• Attitude: think big, ask why, and show respect to everyone at every level. These values are exemplified by our leadership and are important in you.

Interview steps

• Preliminary phone call with the Talent Team (no video required).
• First video interview with the hiring managers.
• Second (and final) video interview with the hiring panel, often including a presentation, followed by a values conversation with members of the wider GWI community.
• Don’t be alarmed if there are other stages in the process; it’s part of the plan for some roles.
