Technical Product Manager - Consumer Platforms

Our vision is to give everyone the belief they can make their move. We aim to make moving simpler, by giving everyone the best place to turn to and return to for access to the tools, expertise, trust, and belief to make it happen.

We’re home to the UK’s largest choice of properties and are the go-to destination for millions of people planning their next move, reading the latest industry news, or just browsing what’s on the market.

01The Role

Joining the Consumer Platforms team, you’ll help make Rightmove fast, consistent and easy to build on, so that our consumer product teams can ship great experiences with confidence. The team owns the shared foundations behind our website and apps: SEO and AI discoverability, site performance and accessibility, the design system, cross-team technical standards, client storage and analytics and tracking, and the third-party tooling that powers experimentation and CRM.

Your customers are mostly internal: Product Managers, Engineers, Security, and Data and Analytics colleagues. You’ll learn where they struggle, turn that into a clear roadmap, and prove the impact in terms of both team productivity and outcomes.

You’ll work day to day with the team’s Engineering Manager, Principal Engineers and Technical Architects. You’ll need to be as comfortable debating implementation detail with them as you are shaping priorities with product leaders.

02What you’ll own

Our platform covers a lot of ground. Your main focus will be:

• Search and AI discoverability: establishing the framework that gives product teams clear visibility of how SEO and AI search (GEO) are performing, so they can act on it earlier. You’ll be the central point of contact for our dedicated SEO agency, and you’ll know enough about SEO and GEO to represent them well and help teams make good decisions

• Shared foundations: the design system, accessibility, and technical standards that product teams build to

• Data and tooling: analytics and tracking, client storage, and third-party tools such as our experimentation and CRM platforms, including how well they perform, what they cost and how they’re used

03How you'll spend your time

You’ll monitor platform health and act on regressions with engineering, triage requests from internal teams against planned work, and run discovery with the teams who rely on us. You’ll write business cases, manage vendor relationships, and keep a backlog that shows how each piece of work supports our business goals. You’ll work closely with the Engineering Manager and Principal Engineers brainstorming, prioritising, roadmapping and setting the scope of individual projects.

04Essential

• A track record of owning platform or internal-facing products for a technical audience, such as engineers and other product teams

• A solid grasp of the software development lifecycle and modern web engineering, and the ability to explain how your product works under the hood

• Evidence of getting teams to adopt shared standards or platforms without direct authority, by building the case, removing friction and bringing people with them

• Working knowledge of SEO, site performance and Core Web Vitals, and a view on how AI-driven search is changing discoverability

• Experience leading discovery through to clear recommendations, then delivering with an autonomous team

• Evidence of making decisions with both quantitative and qualitative insight, and measuring outcomes rather than outputs

• Strong stakeholder management, including making tough prioritisation calls and presenting to senior leaders

• Excellent organisational and prioritisation skills with the ability to multitask

05Nice to have

• Experience with experimentation or CRM tooling

• Experience with design systems, accessibility standards or analytics instrumentation

• Experience in a marketplace or high-traffic consumer business.

You don’t need to tick every box. We care more about how you think and approach problems than about a list of qualifications

06The team

You’ll work directly with two front-end engineers, two back-end engineers, a shared QA and an Engineering Manager. You’ll also work closely with the Design System team, our SEO agency, Content Marketing, Data Protection Officers, Third-Party Advertising team and Principal Engineers.
