Product Manager

Why this job matters

We have started a journey to make EE the flagship brand for our Consumer business by bringing the biggest broadband provider in the UK and the biggest mobile provider in the UK together to create New EE.

Our ambitions for New EE are significantly higher than creating the biggest connectivity provider in the country. We want to redefine the role of EE to become the most personal and customer focused brand in the UK, and help our customers get the most out of technology. We want to do more for our customers and drive significant growth in new categories such as consumer electronics, gaming, security, insurance, and financial services.

As a Product Manager you are responsible for leading one or more of our products or product workstreams required to underpin our Consumer P&L and customer experience ambitions.

The Product Manager is responsible for delivering the product strategy, to achieve world class product experiences, and for turning them into attractive and profitable products/propositions to win in the market, connecting more people and devices in the households we serve.

As part of the vision to do more for our customers and deliver more personal and household focused products and propositions, the Product Manager will collaborate very closely with other teams to deliver seamlessly on our vision for EE. It will be a key part of the role of the Product Manager to work very closely with the other Consumer product teams to drive higher share of households with both mobile and broadband from EE, and to work closely with the New Verticals Team to ensure growth in adjacent services. 

The mindset and focus of the collaboration must always be to optimise the total experience for customers and households across all products – and deliver on the total Consumer P&L which is led by the Director of Convergence and GTM.
