• Experience delivering change in financial services or another environment with significant oversight and operational complexity.
• Confidence investigating processes and turning incomplete information into actionable requirements.
• Experience working alongside product managers, engineers and data specialists.
• Strong workshop facilitation and the ability to challenge senior stakeholders constructively.
• Clear written communication and a practical understanding of testing and delivery.
• The judgement to balance user needs, business value and appropriate controls.
