6. Facilitate planning sessions, stand-ups, and retrospectives to ensure alignment and accountability across the engineering team.
7. Work closely with designers to ensure that user interface designs align with technical requirements and constraints.

9. Identify and mitigate risks and dependencies that may impact project timelines or deliverables.
10. Continuously monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our development processes and tools, identifying opportunities for improvement.

You're proactive, organised, collaborative, and empathetic. You also have:

1. A minimum of 5 years of experience in a product management or technical product owner role.
2. Experience in fintech is a strong plus.
3. Experience using qualitative and quantitative data to identify opportunities, test hypotheses, and prioritise ideas.
4. Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
5. Demonstrated experience in facilitating agile ceremonies and managing product backlogs.
6. Proficiency in tracking key KPIs and evaluating the effectiveness of development processes.
7. Familiarity with regulatory requirements related to financial products and services is a plus.
