Supporting the Business Banking domain, you'll oversee feature teams building cloud-based data products and delivering reporting solutions that enable us to move away from legacy systems like BIW. While you won’t be directly involved in technical delivery, you'll be instrumental in leading and motivating cross-functional teams, managing priorities and backlogs, allocating resources, and ensuring that stakeholder needs are translated into high-value outcomes. This is a unique opportunity to help reset our data landscape and drive real change across the bank.

• Ability to manage backlogs and prioritise work across teams.

Desirable Skills:

• Agile delivery experience.
• Familiarity with Jira.
• Understanding of the Business Banking domain.

The successful candidate can be based in Northampton or Knutsford.

Purpose of the Role: To collaborate with product owners and technical teams involved in product development, utilising their knowledge of bank technologies to enact the product roadmap vision.

Accountabilities:

• Provide subject matter expertise supporting collaboration between product owners and technical teams.
• Support development and communication of product strategy and vision.
• Gather and prioritise product requirements based on business value and feasibility.
• Implement assessments for continuous testing and improvement of product quality.
• Monitor product performance for optimisation opportunities.
• Stay updated on industry technology trends to adopt new approaches.

Assistant Vice President Expectations:

• Influence decision-making, contribute to policy, and collaborate across functions.
• Lead a team, set objectives, coach, and appraise performance.
• Guide complex assignments and involve specialists as needed.
• Consult on complex issues, support risk mitigation, and develop policies.
• Manage risks and controls related to work activities.
