In this role, you will take ownership of the product backlog, prioritising work that balances maintenance, optimisation and strategic enhancement of risk and finance functionality. You’ll work with agile teams to refine user stories, define acceptance criteria, and ensure clarity of requirements while safeguarding technical quality, architecture standards and security practices. You’ll be actively involved in operational tasks as needed, helping to ensure smooth delivery, integration and evolution of data pipelines and risk frameworks.
