Role Overview

TP ICAP's Risk Technology (sitting withing Corporate Functions) function owns the platforms that power market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk management globally.

We are delivering a multi-year Risk Technology Roadmap to modernise a legacy estate of Oracle Forms, .NET, and Excel-based systems into a modern AWS serverless platform — while building new capabilities in intraday exposure monitoring, margin prediction, and automated alerting.

The roadmap spans multiple concurrent workstreams and delivery is accelerating through AI-assisted engineering.

We need a Product Owner who can translate complex risk domain requirements into prioritised backlogs and drive engineering teams to deliver at pace.

You will sit at the intersection of business and technology — working with Financial Risk Management, trading desks, and engineering teams to shape what gets built and when.

This is a hands-on role for someone comfortable making prioritisation decisions that balance strategic modernisation with immediate operational needs.

Role Responsibilities

• Own and prioritise the Product Backlog, ensuring user stories are well defined and meet the agreed Definition of Ready.
• Collaborate with Product/Programme Managers to align delivery with product strategy and roadmap.
• Support development teams by clarifying requirements, providing business context, and guiding sprint goals.
• Apply customer‑centric thinking using feedback, usability insights, and market inputs to validate and refine solutions.
• Lead creation of user stories, acceptance criteria, and relevant artefacts such as workflows or mock‑ups.
• Coordinate cross‑team delivery, managing dependencies, risks, and stakeholder alignment.
• Conduct backlog grooming, prioritisation reviews, and contribute to PI planning and Agile ceremonies.
• Review prototypes, proofs of concept, and completed increments to ensure they meet business needs.
• Support UAT and ensure functional outcomes meet customer and business expectations.

Experience / Competences

Essential

• Proven experience as a Product Owner or BA in financial services technology, ideally within risk, post-trade, or capital markets.
• Strong stakeholder management — able to engage credibly with both engineers and senior business stakeholders.
• Solid grasp of Agile delivery (Scrum or SAFe), including backlog refinement, sprint planning, and acceptance criteria.
• Ability to decompose complex requirements into well-defined, deliverable user stories.
• Comfortable working with Jira and Confluence as core delivery tools.
• Clear communicator who can translate between business language and technical detail without losing either.
• Experience working within or alongside multi-year transformation programmes with cross-team dependencies.

Desired

• Understanding of front‑to‑back trade lifecycle or complex enterprise technology workflows.
• Experience in financial markets, trading, broking, or liquidity solutions.
• Understanding of market risk, credit risk, or liquidity risk concepts (exposure, VaR, margin, limits).
• Exposure to cloud platforms (e.g., AWS) or authentication frameworks (e.g., OAuth2, Okta).
• Prior involvement in SAFe Agile environments.
