Job Introduction
Help redesign how London delivers retrofit
Warmer Homes London, launched by London Councils and the Mayor of London, is tackling the systemic barriers preventing retrofit at scale - focusing on social housing, low-income homeowners and private renters most vulnerable to fuel poverty.
We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager (Asset Data) to shape how London uses data to make homes greener, healthier, and more affordable to heat.
This is a rare opportunity to build something meaningful at scale - not just another product, but a pan-London data service that supports boroughs, housing providers, and partners to make better decisions for residents.
Why join us?
Warmer Homes London is a new, mission-driven organisation tackling some of the biggest challenges in the capital:
- Reducing fuel poverty
- Improving housing quality
- Supporting net zero ambitions
You’ll be part of a team working across 32 boroughs, the GLA and national partners, helping to remove barriers to retrofit at scale.
This is a role where your work won’t sit on a shelf; it will directly shape decisions that impact thousands of Londoners.
Role Responsibility
You’ll lead the development of Warmer Homes London’s data service - turning complex datasets into real, usable products that drive change across the capital. From smart meter insights to housing stock data, you’ll ensure information isn’t just collected but transformed into tools, dashboards, and insights that people actually use.
Working at the intersection of:
- Product strategy
- Data & technology
- Public sector delivery
You’ll define what we build, how we build it, and who we partner with to deliver impact at scale.
What you’ll be doing:
- Define and lead the product vision and roadmap for WHL’s data services
- Turn complex data into user-focused products and tools
- Work with boroughs, housing providers and partners to understand real-world needs
- Decide when to build, buy, or partner to deliver the best outcomes
- Lead multidisciplinary teams through end-to-end product delivery
- Shape data standards, governance and quality across London
- Build strong relationships across the GLA, local government and wider ecosystem
- Drive adoption and real-world use of data products
This is a politically restricted post, under Section 2 of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989.

- Strong understanding of the data lifecycle and digital delivery

Our Recruitment Approach
The application process involves answering a small number of application questions aligned to the essential criteria for the role. All applications will be processed using a blind sifting method. This means that personal identifying details will be removed to ensure fair and unbiased shortlisting of applications.
The panel sees only the anonymised generated CV that Tribepad builds from the Education and Employment History sections of the application form.
Uploading a personal CV is optional and only helps auto-populate these sections - it does not replace completing them.
Please ensure these sections are fully completed. If they’re left blank, key information won’t appear in the anonymised pack and fair review becomes harder.
Your full details and original CV are not shared with the panel until after the shortlist is agreed and you are invited to interview.
We are committed to equal opportunities and encourage applications from all backgrounds. Reasonable adjustments will be made to support candidates during the recruitment process.
