Delivery & Execution

• Lead planning and project delivery, bringing opportunities from ideation to market on time and on budget.

• Act as product owner within the scrum team, leading the development of technical products and features through agile ceremonies and a well-groomed, prioritised backlog.

• Develop project plans, track task completion, and manage risks and issues through to successful delivery.

• Maintain scalable knowledge-management practices using tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Miro.

Stakeholders & Go-to-Market

• Communicate widely and frequently with stakeholders on progress, highlighting key milestones, risks, and issues as they arise.

• Partner with teams across the business, engineering, sales, marketing, and operations to ensure new products and features go to market successfully and are well supported.

Performance & Insight

• Measure and manage the success of our products by regularly tracking key product metrics.

• Use data and user behaviour to mature product performance and ensure the long-term success of the product.

• Stay aware of the latest trends and technologies, both inside and outside of fintech.

Skills & Experience

Essential

• Demonstrable 3+ years’ experience in a product role within financial services (payments, banking, or FX).

• Strong technical background with an understanding of technical systems and interfaces.

• Experience with scrum and agile product delivery.
