Overview

Greater Manchester, United Kingdom

Senior Vice President, Senior Product Owner at BNY. This role sits within the Trustee & Depositary team within Asset Servicing in Manchester. The description below captures responsibilities, qualifications, and expectations for a lead product ownership role focused on platform modernisation and re-platforming initiatives.

Responsibilities

• Own a critical product area within the Trustee & Depositary re-platforming programme, with accountability for shaping and delivering outcomes that materially improve platform capability, control, and scalability over time.
• Provide product leadership within the Product function, acting as a visible and influential voice across Product Owners to align priorities, sequencing, and delivery outcomes within the broader transformation.
• Drive the re-platforming vision through hands-on product ownership, taking accountability for requirements definition, prioritisation, and outcome-focused delivery across one or more Scrum teams.
• Act as a trusted subject matter expert for the transformation, providing insight, challenge, and decision support to Product Owners, Technology, and Operations partners as complex design, migration, and delivery trade-offs are made.
• Translate strategic intent into executable delivery plans, shaping backlog priorities, managing cross-team dependencies, and ensuring delivery remains coherent as scope and complexity increase.
• Ensure strong data foundations across your product area, shaping data requirements, influencing priorities, and aligning teams around shared data models, quality standards, and clearly defined migration outcomes.
• Own the journey beyond build, ensuring migration, adoption, and operational readiness are integral to delivery and that new capabilities are successfully embedded into day-to-day operations.
• Lead through influence rather than authority, proactively navigating ambiguity, surfacing delivery risks early, and helping resolve complex challenges across a wide stakeholder landscape.
• Role-model modern, inclusive product leadership, supporting Product Owners through coaching, challenge, and example, and fostering strong collaboration and shared ownership during a period of significant change.
• Bring energy and commitment to complex transformation, motivated by solving hard problems, improving platforms at scale, and seeing tangible outcomes land in production.

Qualifications

• Proven experience as a Product Owner (or equivalent product role) delivering complex change in a large-scale, technology-enabled environment, ideally involving platform modernisation or re-platforming initiatives.
• Demonstrated ability to influence and lead through collaboration, working effectively with Product Owner peers, Technology, Operations, and senior stakeholders to align on shared goals, priorities, and delivery decisions.
• Experience operating as a subject matter expert in complex delivery environments, providing informed challenge, guidance, and decision support across design, migration, and delivery activities.
• A solid understanding of data as a foundational enabler of transformation, including experience shaping data requirements and working with data, architecture, or governance partners to deliver trusted, high-quality data outcomes.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to navigate ambiguity, manage competing priorities, and resolve complex delivery challenges in a fast-moving environment.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex concepts into clear, actionable direction for teams and stakeholders at different levels.
• A curiosity-driven mindset for improving how work gets done, with an interest in leveraging modern tools, automation, and AI to enhance product delivery, insight, and team effectiveness.
• Experience working in financial services or another regulated industry, preferably in custody, depositary, or fund oversight activities.
• Bachelor's degree in business, technology, or a related field, with a master's degree preferred.
