has partnered with a Global Financial Services Organization to hire their next Product Owner within their EUX value Stream. The Product Owner Role

We’re looking for a Product Owner to drive the development and improvement of our clients' products. This is an extremely varied role and will include (but is not limited to) the following activities: Develop and execute the product roadmap, ensuring alignment with the value stream OKRs. Conduct workshops and analysis activities to design and define appropriate delivery iterations – gather requirements, assess value, ensure work is prioritized and focused on delivering maximum value for our colleagues. Write clear and concise user stories, acceptance criteria, and product specifications. Prioritize and manage the product backlog, ensuring it is maintained and refined. Work with the Agile Delivery Lead/s (ADLs) to ensure there is a steady flow of work for the squad/s aligned to the product roadmap. Create and own dashboards to track metrics, utilizing the data to inform future backlog items that target waste and inefficiency. Be the first point of contact for the squad/s to answer any product-related questions, clarify requirements, and support the ADL to remove blockers. Act as the voice of the customer to ensure everyone understands the business value of the backlog items. Work with the ADL to coordinate and participate in all Agile ceremonies for the product – stand-ups, refinement, planning, and retrospectives. Provide feedback on the product roadmap, resolving risks, issues, and blockers raised by the squad/s – escalating to the Head of Product as needed. Report on actual vs. expected progress and any knock-on impact to the product roadmap. Manage key stakeholder relationships and communicate effectively to keep them informed. Monitor and analyze product performance, identifying areas for improvement and making data-driven decisions. Coordinate product launches, ensuring effective communication to internal customers and stakeholders. Stay up-to-date with industry best practices and trends in product management, technology, and user experience. Work with other members of the ITS Product Chapter to share knowledge, best practices, and develop as a team – as a Product Owner, you will coach and mentor Associate POs to support their career development. Actively participate in the wider product management community to aid continuous learning, innovation, best practice, and alignment with engineering teams. Required Skills/Experience

Prior experience in a product-related role or environment – working in Agile delivery teams, managing a backlog to ensure business value is prioritized, delivered, and embedded. An aptitude for customer-centric problem solving and challenging the status quo. Experience working with Agile collaboration (e.g. Jira, Confluence, etc.) and product management tools. Experience of writing business requirements that can be picked up by engineers and implemented. Detail-oriented with a focus on quality and delivering value to customers. Detailed understanding of Agile methodologies (Kanban, Lean, Scrum) and product management frameworks. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively convey complex ideas to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment and adapt to changing priorities (dealing with any associated conflict due to competing priorities). Demonstrable analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to gather and interpret data to make informed decisions. Highly organized, with the ability to prioritize tasks and meet deadlines. SPG Resourcing is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to fostering an inclusive workplace that values and benefits from the diversity of the workforce we hire. We offer reasonable accommodation at every stage of the application and interview process. Seniority Level
