Responsibilities

• Act as a strong and credible Product Owner within the POD, partnering closely with the Product Manager to shape priorities, delivery approach, and outcomes for the Investment & Borrowing Restrictions POD within the Trustee & Depositary business.
• Work across Product, Technology, and Operations to drive the delivery of future state capabilities and ongoing enhancements, balancing strategic intent with practical execution.
• Own the day to day product ownership, shaping and refining user stories, owning and prioritising areas of the backlog, and providing clear direction to the Scrum team to enable effective and predictable delivery.
• Lead the definition and refinement of product requirements, synthesising input from stakeholders, delivery teams, and data sources to ensure solutions are well designed, compliant, and fit for purpose.
• Monitor business, operational, and product trends to proactively inform prioritisation decisions, identify emerging risks or opportunities, and adjust delivery plans accordingly.
• Take ownership of delivery insights by tracking key delivery and performance indicators, using these to drive continuous improvement in product outcomes and ways of working.
• Work collaboratively across product teams to ensure joined up delivery, actively managing dependencies, sequencing work, and resolving conflicts in priorities.
