Product Manager

About Malted

Malted builds specialised customer interaction intelligence for financial institutions. Our platform combines advanced language technology with deep domain understanding to help firms make faster, more accurate decisions.

Our proprietary technology, purpose-built for financial services, uncovers signals that generic AI misses, distilling intelligence into insights faster, more efficiently and more securely than anyone else.

We’re a small, passionate, and highly technical team based in Edinburgh, combining deep machine learning experience with a rigorous approach to product design and engineering.

What you'll do

As the first Product Manager at Malted, you'll work directly with the CEO to help turn product vision into reality. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who loves execution as much as strategy. You'll work across engineering, AI, design and customer-facing teams to gather customer feedback, help shape the roadmap, enable squads to move quickly, and ensure we're consistently delivering products that create value for customers.

• Work closely with the CEO to execute product strategy, shape the roadmap and translate company priorities into actionable plans.

• Gather and synthesise feedback from customers, commercial teams, engineering and AI researchers into clear product opportunities and roadmap priorities.

• Give delivery teams the customer context, requirements and success criteria they need to ship high-quality products at speed.

• Create clear product artefacts and documentation that help teams execute effectively.

• Help prioritise initiatives by scoping and researching customer impact, commercial value, technical complexity and engineering effort.

• Work directly with enterprise customers and forward deployed teams to validate ideas and refine the product.

• Track product performance, customer adoption and feedback to identify opportunities for continuous improvement.

• Help build the product function from the ground up, improving our roadmap, tooling, planning and product development processes as the company scales.

Who you are

You are a driven, hands-on Product Manager who loves building products from the ground up. You thrive in fast-moving environments where there is ambiguity, enjoy working directly with customers and highly technical engineers, and are excited by the opportunity to help build a category-defining AI company. You're organised, curious and execution-focused, happiest when turning ideas into products that customers genuinely love.

Minimum requirements

• Eligible to work in the UK.

• 5+ years of experience in Product Management or a similar product-focused role.

• Proven ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, design, AI and commercial teams to deliver successful products.

• Experience translating customer problems into product opportunities and shipping products that deliver measurable value.

• Excellent communication and organisational skills, with the ability to bring clarity to complex problems.

• Comfortable working in an early-stage startup where priorities evolve quickly and everyone gets hands-on.

• Passion for AI and excitement about building products powered by cutting-edge machine learning.

• Highly ambitious, hardworking and execution-focused, with a strong bias towards action, ownership and continuous improvement.

• Excited by 0→1 product development, taking ideas from customer conversations through to successful launches.

• Comfortable using modern AI tools and automation to accelerate product discovery, planning and execution.
