About the role
This role combines product management and data engineering. You will own a portfolio of data products within a domain, defining what each product is, who it serves, and what outcome it drives. You will manage the roadmap, make trade‑offs, drive adoption, and retire ineffective products. You will be the interface between business stakeholders who need data to make decisions and the engineering teams who build it.
What you’ll be doing:
- Owning a portfolio of data products within a domain, defining purpose, users, scope, and success criteria for each.
- Maintaining and prioritising the domain product roadmap, aligned to strategic priorities with transparent trade‑offs.
- Acting as the primary interface between domain leadership and data delivery teams, translating business priorities into product direction.
- Defining metrics, logic, and SLAs in collaboration with modelling and engineering, ensuring products are consistent with enterprise semantics.
- Driving adoption by making products discoverable, trusted, understood, and actually used.
- Owning cost and usage accountability – monitoring spend versus value, eliminating unused or duplicated outputs, and optimising the portfolio.
- Conducting regular discovery with data consumers to surface unmet needs and feed real demand into the roadmap.
- Managing change across the portfolio – versioning, deprecation, consumer communication, and migration support.
- Ensuring products meet governance, quality, and regulatory standards with clear ownership, lineage, and metadata.
About you:
- 5+ years in data product management, analytics, or closely related roles within financial services.
- Strong product management capability in a data/analytics context – not just delivery, but ownership.
- Ability to define data products with clear commercial or operational outcomes.
- Experience prioritising and making trade‑offs in complex, multi‑stakeholder environments.
- Strong stakeholder management – comfortable challenging and influencing senior leaders.
- Commercial mindset – able to discuss value versus spend and make cost‑efficiency decisions.
- Solid understanding of data modelling concepts, analytics consumption patterns, and data governance principles.
- Experience partnering with Data Engineering, Data Architecture, Data Science, and Data Governance teams.
- Experience working in regulated environments with certified reporting outputs.
- Desirable: Experience with modern cloud data platforms (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift).
- Desirable: Exposure to AI/ML feature consumption or model governance requirements.
- Desirable: Experience managing data product SLAs and operational support models.
- Desirable: Familiarity with data product or platform operating models.
