We are seeking an experienced Digital Product Owner to join a leading Retail Bank, supporting a major banking migration programme. This role will suit candidates who have delivered large-scale banking migrations before, and are comfortable working in fast-paced, agile, change environments.
Key Responsibilities:
- Break down large, complex business and digital problems into structured work packages and epics
- Work closely with engineering to define deliverables, feeding refinement of high-quality user stories ready for development
- Balance business ambition against delivery constraints — challenge and negotiate scope with business owners to agree a deliverable minimum viable outcome within highly constrained timelines
Essential Skills & Experience:
- Proven experience as a Digital Product Owner on a mobile app within banking or financial services
- Background from a Business Analysis discipline, but also several years' hands-on experience operating as a Product Owner.
- Demonstrable ability to bridge business requirements and technical delivery, translating complex problems into structured, sequenced work
- Strong stakeholder management and negotiation skills — confident holding the line on scope with senior business owners
- Comfortable working in a fluid, fast-paced environment without a fixed, pre-defined scope of deliverables.
