• You will be accountable for progressing our offering of digital products and supporting their integration with the digital journeys as we embark on our biggest digital modernisation ever undertaken in the bank.
• Day-to-day activity is structured through Agile, so you’ll lead the production of the vision, roadmap and the prioritised backlog of work for the teams.
• You’ll also be accountable for winning income, managing expenditure, delivery commitments and the team’s risk profile.
• As the person responsible for successful selection of the right product or service, we’d like you to be as passionate about our product as we are.

• Experience of leading end to end of a software & infrastructure production service across all dimensions of people, process and technology. Lead, motivate, and manage product teams, ensuring that the team remains focused and efficient in achieving product goals.
• Stakeholder Management. Strong skills in managing and communicating with stakeholders at all levels, including executives, to ensure alignment and buy-in on the product vision and roadmap.
• Effective Communication. Exceptional communication skills, both verbal and written, tailored to a wide range of audiences, from technical teams to executive stakeholders.
• Customer and Market Insight User-Centric Approach. Deep understanding of the user experience, based on empirical data to inform product improvements.

And any experience of these would be really useful

• Understanding of web and mobile journeys and the Digital, API and Data Technologies that support them.
• Developer Tooling Familiarity. Awareness of the tools and environments used by developers to create, test, and deploy automation solutions, including version control systems (e.g., Git), CI/CD pipelines, and development frameworks specific to automation technologies.
• Technical Literacy. Ability to grasp technical concepts and communicate effectively with technical teams.
