Job Description:

MORE THAN YOU EXPECTED

Grant Thornton UK LLP is part of a global network of independent audit, tax and advisory firms, made up of some 58,000 people in over 135 countries. We're a team of independent thinkers who put quality, inclusion and integrity first. All around the world we bring a different experience to our clients. A better experience. One that delivers the expertise they need in a way that goes beyond. Personal, proactive, and agile. That's Grant Thornton.

NEW GROUND WON’T BREAK ITSELF.

Every day our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals.

Grant Thornton is building a new digital team as part of the firm’s £500m multi‑year investment to transform how we work and deliver for clients. This investment is focused on redesigning our operating model around the way clients make decisions, using data, digital tools, and streamlined processes to remove friction, reduce duplication and provide faster, clearer insights. The new digital team will play a critical role in shaping and embedding these changes across the firm, developing tools, platforms, and digital capabilities that accelerate decision‑making, improve the client experience, and empower our people to work smarter. Working at the heart of a major firm‑wide transformation, this team will help modernise core processes, support innovation, and ensure we deliver a more efficient, tech‑enabled, and future‑focused service for our clients

The Product Manager is an individual contribute role, owning the strategic product direction for assigned digital products, including AI-enabled platforms and enterprise tooling, defining what gets built and why, ensuring measurable impact, and raising product management capability across the firm.

We’re happy to talk flexible working and consider reduced hours and job shares, we’ll support you to balance your work and life.

A look into the role

As a Product Manager within our team practice, you will:

• Define and maintain outcome-focused product roadmaps aligned to user needs and firm priorities
• Translate strategic direction into clear, sequenced product plans with defined success criteria
• Make and communicate prioritisation decisions, articulating trade-offs to stakeholders and leadership

• Develop business cases and contribute to investment decisions, including build vs. buy recommendations.
• Lead discovery through user research, data analysis, stakeholder interviews, hypothesis testing and rapid prototyping to validate problems before committing to solutions
• Establish feedback loops drawing on user input, operational data, and delivery metrics
• Champion evidence-based, user-centred decision-making across delivery teams.
• Partner with product owners, engineering, UX, QA and other digital teams to deliver against product vision, accountable for outcomes rather than day-to-day delivery management
• Define success metrics and KPIs, tracking landed impact as measurable business change post-deployment, not just feature release
• Apply structured stop/pivot assessments to underperforming initiatives and recommend discontinuation where evidence does not support continued investment.

Knowing you’re right for us

• Joining us as a Product Manager, the minimum criteria you’ll need is significant product management experience with a track record of strategic ownership, defining what to build and why rather than just managing delivery. End to end delivery of digital products in complex, multi-stakeholder environments  and proven ownership of AI or data products, including model behaviour, prompt iteration, evaluation design, and human-in-the-loop workflows. It would be great if you had some of the following skills, but don’t worry if you don’t tick every box, we’ll help you develop along the way.

• Experience in regulated or compliance-sensitive environments, with working knowledge of data governance and privacy-by-design
• Experience evaluating and managing third-party platforms and SaaS vendors
• Strong prioritisation skills and a track record of making hard trade-off decisions under real constraints
• Skilled in user research, data analysis, and structured discovery, including problem framing, prototyping, MVP design, and iterative validation
• Sufficient technical literacy to assess feasibility, challenge engineering estimates, and make informed build decisions in an API- and platform-driven environment
• Commercial acumen to connect product decisions to business outcomes and contribute to investment cases
• Excellent stakeholder management and the credibility to influence senior leaders
• Familiarity with agile product practices and effective partnering with product owners, tech leads, and engineering teams.

Knowing we’re right for you

Embracing uniqueness, the culture at Grant Thornton thrives on the contributions of all our people, we never settle for what is easy, we look beyond to deliver the right thing, for everyone.  Building an inclusive culture, where we value difference and respect our colleagues helps our people to perform at the best of their ability and realise their potential.

Our open and accessible culture means you’ll interact with leaders who are interested in you and everything you bring to our firm. The things that set you apart, we value them. That’s why we give you the freedom to bring your whole self to work and pursue your passions inside and outside of work.

Beyond the job 

Life is more than work. The things you do, and the people you’re with outside of work matter, that’s why we’re happy to look at flexible working options for all our roles, and we’ll always do our best to keep your work and life in balance.

The impact you can make here will go far beyond your day job. From secondments, to fundraising for local charities, or investing in entrepreneurs in the developing world, you’ll be giving back to society. It’s that drive to do the right thing that runs through our every move, grounded in our firm’s values – purposefully driven, actively curious and candid but kind.

We’re looking for people who want to contribute, spark fresh ideas and go beyond expectations. People who want to be able to proudly do what’s right, for the firm, our clients, our people and themselves. It’s how it should be.
