Job Description
Role Summary
A senior product leader who works directly with the Head of Data Science & AI Products to shape
and execute the product portfolio strategy for our data and AI products. This role owns one flagship
product end-to-end while leading a team of product owners who own the remaining products,
ensuring the portfolio as a whole is coherent, prioritised against business strategy, and delivering
measurable outcomes.
Roles and Responsibilities
• Product Vision and Strategy: Define and communicate the vision, strategy, and roadmap for
the flagship product you own, translating business strategy and market insight into a
sequenced plan that balances customer value, business return, and delivery constraints, and
revisiting it as evidence arrives.
• Portfolio Strategy: Partner with the Head of Data Science & AI Products to set and maintain the
strategy across the data and AI product portfolio, defining how products fit together, where to
invest, sunset, or consolidate, and aligning roadmaps and resourcing across product owners
so that the portfolio delivers against business priorities as a whole.
• Backlog Ownership: Own and prioritise the product backlog using explicit prioritisation
frameworks (e.g. RICE, weighted scoring, cost of delay), write and refine user stories and
acceptance criteria, and serve as the team's primary decision-maker for scope and
sequencing.
• Requirements and Discovery: Lead continuous discovery through customer interviews, data
analysis, and prototype testing, interrogating stated needs to uncover the underlying problem,
and document requirements, PRDs, and user journeys at a level the team can build from.
• Stakeholder Management: Liaise between senior stakeholders, enterprise clients, business
teams, and the delivery team, managing competing priorities, negotiating trade-offs
transparently, and communicating decisions and their rationale in writing.
• Delivery Governance and Measurement: Track progress against objectives and OKRs, manage
dependencies across workstreams, run or support agile ceremonies, and define the success
metrics, instrumentation, and experiments that show whether shipped work delivered its
intended outcome.
• Go-to-Market and Adoption: Partner with client-facing, design, and data teams on launch
readiness, user onboarding, documentation, and adoption tracking, so that features are used
rather than merely released.
• Team Leadership: Lead, coach, and develop the product owners who own the other products in
the portfolio, along with business analysts; review their roadmaps, prioritisation decisions, and outcomes; set standards and templates for product ownership across the team, and build a
culture of evidence-based prioritisation.
Qualifications
• Educational Background: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business, Computer Science,
Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience: A minimum of 8 years of professional experience, including at least 4 years in agile
product ownership or product management with demonstrated end-to-end delivery of a
complex data, analytics, or platform product, and at least 2 years managing or leading other
product owners or product managers, ideally across multiple products.
• Product Discovery: Practical command of discovery techniques including user interviews,
jobs-to-be-done, journey mapping, prototype testing, and opportunity sizing, and the
discipline to validate before building.
• Agile Practice: Strong working knowledge of Scrum and Kanban, backlog management, story
writing, estimation, and release planning, including coordination across multiple teams or
workstreams and familiarity with scaled delivery frameworks.
• Data and Experimentation: Comfortable defining product metrics and OKRs, reading
dashboards, writing basic SQL or working closely with analysts, and designing A/B tests or
measurement plans to evaluate outcomes.
• Technical Fluency: Sufficient understanding of APIs, data pipelines, machine learning and LLM-
based features, and cloud delivery to hold credible discussions with engineering and data
teams about feasibility, sequencing, and trade-offs, without needing to write code.
• Tooling: Proficiency with product and delivery tooling such as Jira, Confluence, Figma, and
product analytics platforms (e.g. Mixpanel, Amplitude, or BI tools), and with AI tools for research
synthesis and documentation.
• Portfolio and Strategic Thinking: Experience managing or contributing to strategy across
multiple products or a product portfolio, including investment prioritisation across products,
roadmap alignment between teams, and translating company or business-unit strategy into a
portfolio-level plan.
• Commercial Acumen: Ability to build a business case, understand pricing and value drivers,
and connect roadmap decisions to revenue, cost, and client outcomes in an enterprise or
consulting context.
• Leadership and Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication, including
executive-ready roadmaps and decision documents, the ability to influence cross-functionally
without authority, present to executive and client stakeholders, and mentor other product
professionals.
• A Plus: Experience building personalization and recommendation systems, CRM and loyalty
platforms, marketing technology (customer data platforms, campaign orchestration,
marketing automation), or social media and messaging platform integrations (e.g. LINE,Facebook, TikTok). Experience in telecommunications, location or mobility data, or large-scale
data platform environments is also valued.
