London Bridge (2 days per week onsite) | Contract - 6 months | £650 per day, Inside IR35

Join the product team of a leading national media and publishing brand, working within the monetisation function. You'll sit between product, commercial and delivery, owning discovery on complex initiatives from problem definition through to a build-ready solution. The role isn't tied to one squad, so you'll step in wherever the work needs you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Owning end-to-end discovery on complex, cross-functional initiatives, with accountability for the outcome of the features delivered
• Running user journeys, service blueprints, process and data mapping and user flows to define to-be experiences and expose logic risks
• Prioritising MVP scope using hypotheses, and negotiating with stakeholders to keep the team lean and focused on high-impact wins
• Turning behavioural data into actionable requirements, then validating post-launch metrics against the intended business impact
• Framing recommendations in commercial terms (revenue impact, cost trade-offs, opportunity) to steer roadmap and product decisions
• Bringing competitor intelligence into discovery and prioritisation
• Building relationships with senior stakeholders and leading workshops to agree goals, priorities and scope
• Stepping in as a versatile lead where needed, covering prioritisation, sequencing and reporting
• Using AI day to day to iterate on documentation, logic flows, edge cases and requirements drafting

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience leading end-to-end discovery on complex, cross-functional product initiatives with demonstrable impact on product outcomes
• Strong command of user journey mapping, service blueprints, process and data mapping, user flows and functional logic design
• Proficiency with behavioural analytics tools such as ContentSquare to challenge assumptions and evidence product decisions
• A record of influencing roadmap and prioritisation through analysis and research, not just documenting decisions made by others
• Ability to frame analysis commercially and apply competitive awareness to shape product decisions
• Confident facilitator who can align senior stakeholders around evidence and distil complex analysis into clear narratives
• Comfortable working across multiple teams without a fixed assignment, building context quickly with minimal direction
• Demonstrable use of AI tools in day-to-day analytical work
