We're looking for a senior, hands-on Product Owner to lead the redesign and build of an AI‑enabled delivery model; the end-to-end path from idea to value. This is a true maker role: help the business transform their delivery capability and own the product vision, outcomes, roadmap and a single prioritised backlog across roles, workflows, decision rights, controls and the engineering pipeline, ensuring technology enables the redesigned model (not just automates today's process).

- Own the product end-to-end: vision, outcomes, roadmap, prioritised backlog and acceptance criteria
- Lead discovery to understand user problems and remove hand-offs / simplify flow, reshaping roles and decision rights where needed
- Define where work is best performed by people, agents or both, partnering with practitioners, tech, data/AI and risk stakeholders
- Translate problems into clear, testable requirements and sequencing decisions; hold the line on what/why/priority while engineering owns the how
- Build and validate the integrated model through prototypes, a "steel thread" and live initiatives; accept/reject outcomes against product intent
- Embed responsible AI requirements, human oversight, controls and decision points early (not retrofitted)
- Establish baselines and track measures across cycle time, quality, rework, adoption, reuse, productivity, automation, risk and value, using evidence to scale/adapt/stop

- A target end-to-end model agreed and tested in real work with clear roles, workflows,



controls and decision rights
- A demonstrable contribution toward reducing delivery cycle time, without reducing quality
- One integrated backlog where every skill, agent or integration is traceable to a lifecycle problem, a user and an outcome measure
- Agentic tooling showing repeat use with evidence-based scale/adapt/stop decisions (including stopping what doesn't move the metrics)

- Proven experience owning a product/operating model end-to-end (vision → outcomes → roadmap → backlog → acceptance) with measurable results
- Strong backlog leadership for delivery/engineering "users" (problem framing + testable acceptance criteria)
- Track record redesigning workflows, roles/decision rights and controls in a regulated or controls-aware environment
- Solid product craft - you personally produce problem statements, journey/process maps, prototypes, measures and roadmap options
- Practical fluency with agentic tooling (workflow/coding agents) and comfort interpreting evaluation/adoption data
- Ability to influence senior stakeholders without authority and make tough trade-offs (including stop decisions)

Nice to have: financial services/regulatory domain experience; platform/delivery transformation (Agile at scale, DevOps, developer experience); product/agile certifications.
