What exactly will you do  

• Lead a cross-functional squad with an Engineering Lead to deliver an AI-powered engineering product suite (e.g., code assistants, test-generation, documentation automation, incident copilots), providing clear delivery plans, measurable outcomes, and transparent reporting. 
• Co-own and execute product roadmaps with partner domains —prioritising backlog items, defining OKRs, and orchestrating discovery, experimentation, and incremental releases with a strong focus on value realisation. 
• Partner with engineering squads, AI researchers, platform teams, and risk/compliance to assess use cases, pilot tools, validate hypotheses, and scale proven capabilities across the Bank. 
• Translate customer and developer needs into actionable requirements and acceptance criteria; ensure robust telemetry, feedback loops, and continuous improvement. 
• Navigate a complex enterprise environment—aligning stakeholders, resolving cross-team dependencies, and managing risks, controls, and regulatory considerations associated with AI use in software engineering. 
• Facilitate agile ceremonies (stand-ups, planning, reviews, retros), remove blockers, optimise flow, and improve delivery predictability and velocity. 
• Establish product health metrics (adoption, utilisation, quality, cycle time, DORA metrics uplift) and socialise outcomes through executive-ready updates and storytelling. 
• Maintain currency on AI advancements (e.g., LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation, agents, evaluation frameworks) and work with engineering to apply them pragmatically to solve real developer experience and productivity challenges. 

About you  

• An experienced engineering leader with strong collaboration, communication, and reporting skills, effectively communicating technical updates to diverse audiences.  
• A proven Technical Product Owner who has delivered complex digital or engineering-enablement products in large organisations, ideally with AI- or developer-platform exposure. 
• You are comfortable in technical environments and can engage with engineers on topics such as CI/CD, testing, SDLC, developer experience and platform tooling, even if you don’t write code. You are not afraid to ask questions to seek clarity and cut through ambiguity. 
• Fair working knowledge of AI concepts and application in engineering (e.g., generative AI, prompt engineering basics, guardrails, evaluation, model selection/trade-offs) and a genuine passion for technology. 
• Experience working within risk, security, privacy, and compliance frameworks a plus; able to balance innovation with responsible AI and controls adherence. 
• You are skilled in Agile delivery and product discovery, with hands-on experience in backlog management, roadmap definition, and OKR-driven outcomes; tools like Jira and Confluence are second nature.
