Job Responsibilities

• Product Analysis and Shaping

  • Develop a deep understanding of the products in your domain (e.g., features, user experience, technical architecture, data flows) and contribute to the long-term technology roadmap of the product domain.
  • Define, with the Business Owner and your team, the north-star metric and supporting KPIs that guide product iteration, and partner with engineering and data teams to ensure these metrics are observable.
  • Produce the artefacts that engineering or vendors needs to act on, whether that is requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria or AI-assisted product specs, by partnering with stakeholders to understand the underlying business opportunities.

• Roadmap and Prioritisation

  • Co-own the product roadmap with the Business Owner, keeping it aligned with company goals, member needs, regulatory context, and other products within your domain and across domains.
  • Prioritise features and enhancements based on evidence of user impact, business value, regulatory requirements and technical feasibility.
  • Work with software vendors to shape their roadmap support SGX's ambitions.

• Stakeholder Management

  • Communicate product direction, metrics, and progress to internal and external stakeholders at all levels.
  • Build consensus and manage expectations around priorities, trade-offs, and the inherent uncertainty in product work.
  • Support your team in complex stakeholder settings.

• Ways of Working

  • Use AI agentically to accelerate discovery, prototyping, and specification (e.g., generate working mockups, draft technical specs, validate assumptions) before engineering invests time.
  • Drive continuous discovery through member interviews, prototypes as tests, and usage data analysis.
  • Make trade-offs explicit (scope vs. timeline, build vs. buy, quick win vs. durable fix) and drive decisions around them.
  • Challenge the status quo and help shape the product practice and SDLC improvements as they evolve across the engineering and product organisation.

• Leadership

  • Create, lead, and manage a high-performing and efficient team of Technical Product Owners and UX Designers.
  • Elevate the team's productivity by instilling a deep understanding of the market, customer demands and platform capabilities.
  • Develop and execute the strategic vision for SGX’s products within your domain and share this with the team, keep them excited and highly engaged.
  • Ensure the team's awareness of the importance of ensuring resiliency and stability for SGX's systems, especially CIIs.
  • Foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
