Additional Information

Product Manager - Connect We're looking for a Product Manager to take a lead on ClearScore's Universal API platform. This is the technical foundation that will power how we share our data, capabilities and intelligence beyond our consumer apps.

Working alongside your Head of Product and closely with Platform and Data engineering, you'll own the roadmap and execution of a unified API gateway serving both internal teams and external partners. You'll work closely with the Upstream product team, who own the commercial proposition and externalisation of ClearScore's capabilities, ensuring the platform they need is robust, scalable and well-governed.
