• Define, with the Business Owner and your team, the north-star metric and KPIs guiding product iteration, and partner with engineering and data teams to ensure these metrics are observable.
• Produce artefacts that engineering or vendors need to act on (requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, AI-assisted specs) by partnering with stakeholders to understand underlying business opportunities.
• Co-own the product roadmap with the Business Owner, aligned with company goals, member needs, regulatory context, and other products within 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 to support SGX’s ambitions.
• Communicate product direction, metrics, and progress to internal and external stakeholders at all levels.
• Build consensus and manage expectations around priorities, trade-offs and uncertainty in product work.
• Support your team in complex stakeholder settings.
• Use AI agents to accelerate discovery, prototyping, and specification before engineering time.
• Drive continuous discovery through member interviews, prototypes as tests, and usage data analysis.
• Make trade-offs explicit and drive decisions around scope vs timeline, build vs buy, quick win vs durable fix.
• Challenge the status quo and help shape product practice and SDLC improvements across engineering and product organizations.
• Create, lead, and manage a high-performing team of Technical Product Owners and UX Designers.
• Elevate the team’s productivity by understanding market, customer demands and platform capabilities.
