What you’ll be doing:

This is an opportunity to shape how we use data to transform lending decisions and deliver better outcomes for millions of customers. As a Lab Product Owner within Customer Affordability & Data and the Consumer Data Lab, you’ll own and evolve a portfolio of data platform products, enabling teams across Consumer Lending to access, leverage and derive value from trusted data at scale. You’ll sit at the centre of a function that combines commercial expertise with advanced data and analytics to personalise lending, improve access to credit and support smarter decision-making.

You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders, engineers and data specialists to translate strategic priorities into tangible product outcomes. A key focus will be ensuring data is not only well-governed and accessible, but actively leveraged to optimise decisions, improve performance and unlock measurable business value. Operating with a strong platform product mindset, you’ll design scalable, reusable data capabilities that can be consumed across multiple teams and use cases. You’ll lead the end-to-end lifecycle of these products — from discovery through to build, deployment and continuous improvement — helping embed a truly data-driven culture across the business.

Why join us:

We’re transforming at pace. Investing billions in our people, data and tech to change the way we meet the needs of our 28 million customers. We’re growing, and we’d love you to be part of the journey.

Essential Skills:

• 8+ years proven experience in Product Ownership or Product Management within data or platform-led environments.
• Strong experience building and scaling data platform products, with a focus on reusability, accessibility and cross-team consumption.
• Demonstrated experience leveraging data to drive business value, including improving decisioning, optimisation or commercial outcomes.
• Strong understanding of data management principles (data quality, lineage, governance), balanced with a focus on usability and adoption.
• Experience defining product vision, prioritising complex backlogs and delivering outcomes in agile environments.
• Strong stakeholder leadership skills, including influencing senior stakeholders and translating strategy into high-impact delivery.

Desirable Skills:

• Experience in Consumer Lending, affordability or credit risk environments.
• Experience in data value realisation, optimisation or data-led product strategy.
• People leadership experience, including developing high-performing product teams.
• Exposure to large-scale data platforms and cloud environments (e.g. Google Cloud Platform).
