• Turn priority opportunities into clear, testable problems, then define a compelling portfolio vision, measurable outcomes and an enduring product strategy.

Lead discovery and prioritization

• Lead continuous discovery with Operations, Design, Architecture and Engineering, testing value, usability, feasibility and viability.

Align the portfolio and empower teams

• Maintain the end-to-end view across journeys, platforms, data and integrations, resolving gaps, overlaps, dependencies and competing assumptions.

Role Boundaries

The role is accountable for portfolio coherence and outcomes. The role works in close partnership with key functions across Business and Operations, Engineering, Architecture and Data, Product, and Delivery/Programme Management. While the role provides portfolio-level direction and alignment, it does not absorb the accountabilities of these partner functions.

Business / Operations Product Partnership

Business and Operations Product teams retain primary accountability for business outcomes, the operating model, process decisions, and adoption. This role partners with these teams to align outcomes, validate user value, and shape the joint roadmap.

Engineering Partnership

Engineering Leads retain primary accountability for execution, quality, technical delivery, and team health. This role provides product context and partners with Engineering to agree on value, scope, and sequencing trade-offs.

Architecture and Data Partnership

Architecture and Data teams retain primary accountability for target architecture, solution integrity, data design, and standards. This role works with these teams to ensure architectural and data choices support the product strategy and the end-to-end journey.

Workstream Product Owner Partnership

Workstream Product Owners retain responsibility for day-to-day product decisions and backlog clarity. This role establishes the broader portfolio context, resolves cross-product conflicts, and maintains alignment around intended outcomes.

Delivery / Programme Management Partnership

Delivery and Programme Management retain primary accountability for plans, milestones, dependencies, and delivery governance. This role uses delivery insights to inform trade-off decisions while maintaining focus on outcomes and learning.

What We Value

• Strong product judgement, curiosity about users and confidence making evidence-led decisions.
• Ability to set direction and make thoughtful trade-offs across stakeholders and technology domains.
• Credibility with senior Operations, Product, Design, Architecture, Data and Engineering leaders.
• Inclusive, influential leadership, systems thinking and clear communication.

Education & Preferred Qualifications

• Significant product management experience across complex enterprise products, platforms or portfolios.
• A track record of leading strategy and discovery across connected products or multiple engineering teams.
• Experience with operational technology, workflow or data products, internal platforms or enterprise transformation.
• Evidence of moving teams from feature delivery to measurable outcomes using research, telemetry and operational data.
• Financial services, securities finance, asset servicing, Agency Lending or Markets Operations experience is valuable, but not essential.

Success in this role

• Direction: Teams have a clear understanding of the shared vision, priority outcomes, and how their individual and collective work contributes to those outcomes.
• User Value: Priority capabilities are shaped through discovery and validated with users to ensure they deliver meaningful value.
• Portfolio Coherence: Cross-workstream gaps, overlaps, and dependencies are clearly visible and effectively resolved.
• Delivery Learning: Evidence and insights from releases are used to inform roadmap changes and support better decision-making.
• Sustainability: The portfolio has clear ownership, measures, and priorities that extend beyond the transformation horizon.
