Job Description

Job Description Create your best future and join Westpac as a Product Owner - Commodities, Trade & Transition What's the role?

As Product Owner - Commodities, Trade & Transition, you'll shape and deliver data and AI capabilities that support our commodities, trade and transition business. You'll be based in Sydney in a permanent role.

Responsibilities

You'll own and prioritise a technical product backlog covering data pipelines, data models, APIs, analytics and AI features. Working closely with teams across Front Office, Risk, Operations, Data, Engineering and Technology, you'll turn business challenges into clear, practical solutions that can be delivered safely and effectively.

You'll guide products from early concept through development, testing, implementation and ongoing monitoring. Along the way, you'll help teams make informed trade-offs across customer and business needs, technical constraints, data quality, risk and delivery priorities. You'll also ensure new capabilities are well governed, operationally ready and supported by appropriate controls, approvals and documentation.

What do I need?

You'll bring a blend of product ownership, business knowledge and technical understanding, with the ability to work across multiple teams to deliver valuable outcomes.

  • Strong experience owning and managing a technical product backlog, balancing business priorities, delivery dependencies and stakeholder needs across cross functional engineering teams.
  • A strong business understanding of commodity derivatives, financial markets and associated trading or risk management processes.
  • Sound knowledge of data engineering and AI concepts, including data pipelines, data modelling, SQL, APIs, cloud data platforms and machine learning lifecycles.
  • The ability to translate business challenges into clear user stories, acceptance criteria and delivery priorities, partnering closely with engineers, architects and data specialists.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and decision making skills, with an understanding of governance, risk, controls and regulatory requirements within a complex environment.
Why join us?
  • Special offers on banking products and discounts from top brands, including generous employee-only mortgage rates!
  • Flexible work arrangements to help you achieve a greater work/life balance, and a variety of leave options including Culture, Lifestyle and Wellbeing leave.
  • Tailored learning and development opportunities to help your grow your career within the bank.
  • Lots of opportunities to 'give back' to the Community by getting involved in our many volunteering initiatives.
