The job
You'll sit right next to the engineers, not three floors up writing strategy decks nobody reads.
When a requirement lands on a developer's desk, it'll be complete, it'll be on time, and it'll make sense. That's your work, and you'll see the result of it every day.
You'll partner closely with the Head of Product/Tech. Early on that means working shoulder to shoulder while you learn the data and the platform. As you find your feet you'll get more room to run, bring your own ideas to feature scoping, and start facing off to clients directly. You'll help shape how a high-calibre team works, not just what it ships.
And here's the part most product jobs can't offer: the domain is teachable. Index data and financial infrastructure are a deep, specialised world, and you'll be paid to learn it properly from people who know it cold. What you bring is a sharp mind, a process instinct, and the discipline to make repeatable things repeatable.
What you'll be doing
You'll own the backlog across two squads, the core data platform and the internal platform team, defining requirements, writing acceptance criteria, and keeping the work honest and accurate.
You'll sit with internal experts to capture what's needed and turn it into something an engineer can build from.
You'll own UAT and gatekeep releases, so defects drop because the requirements were tight and the testing was thorough.
You'll keep the documentation current, specs, data dictionaries, process flows, so knowledge doesn't vanish when someone's on holiday.
What you'll need
- 2 to 5 years as a product owner, business analyst, or in a delivery job inside a software product team
- You've worked in or next to agile engineering squads and you understand how software actually gets built
- You're comfortable with data concepts, schemas, pipelines, APIs, at a working level, and you ask "why?" until you genuinely understand the problem
Financial services or data platform experience is a bonus, not a barrier. The right person without it beats the wrong person with it.
