This role is ideal for a product professional with strong experience in product ownership, strategic backlog management, and cross-functional delivery within a complex platform environment.

•    Set backlog direction and drive prioritization decisions across competing demands, making clear trade-offs to optimize business outcomes and execution focus.
•    Document, define, and refine business and product requirements, translating strategic priorities and stakeholder needs into clear, actionable user stories, acceptance       criteria, and delivery artifacts.
•    Work closely with engineering and delivery teams to ensure backlog items are sufficiently defined, sequenced appropriately, and ready for execution.
•    Identify, manage, and help resolve cross-functional dependencies across product, technology, operations, and control functions to enable successful delivery against       priorities.
•    Partner with stakeholders across business, engineering, operations, risk, legal, and compliance to align on scope, sequencing, and implementation approach.
•    Contribute to roadmap development and help shape product direction through a strong understanding of platform opportunities, workflow improvement needs, and       market developments.
•    Evaluate new features, strategic enhancements, and modernization opportunities through a commercial, strategic, and execution-focused lens.
•    Support the development of business cases and recommendations for prioritization, investment, and product evolution.
•    Use data, user insight, workflow analysis, and operational feedback to improve product outcomes and inform prioritization decisions.
•    Ensure product execution is aligned with governance, risk, legal, compliance, and regulatory expectations.
•    Monitor developments across loans, tokenisation, blockchain, and AI and help translate relevant market and technology trends into actionable platform opportunities.

To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following:
•    Bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of education and experience.
•    Meaningful experience in product management, product ownership, business analysis, or platform delivery.
•    Strong experience owning product backlogs and driving prioritization in agile or iterative delivery environments.
•    Proven ability to define product requirements and translate complex business needs into clear, executable delivery outcomes.
•    Experience managing cross-functional dependencies and coordinating delivery across multiple stakeholder groups.
•    Strong commercial judgment and the ability to assess value, feasibility, risk, and execution trade-offs.
•    Effective stakeholder management skills across business, technology, and control functions.
•    Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.

Preferred qualifications:
•    Experience in financial services, with strong preference for loans or adjacent domain expertise.
•    Familiarity with platform transformation, workflow digitization, or product modernization in regulated environments.
•    Exposure to tokenisation, blockchain / distributed ledger technology, and AI use cases in financial services.
•    Understanding of governance, regulatory, legal, and compliance requirements relevant to product delivery.

What will make you stand out:
•    Demonstrated experience owning backlog direction and driving prioritization in a complex platform or product environment.
•    Ability to manage dependencies, align stakeholders, and maintain execution momentum across a cross-functional delivery model.
•    Ability to connect product decisions to commercial outcomes, strategic value, and platform evolution.
