About The Role

We are looking for an experienced Product Owner to lead the definition, delivery and continuous improvement of our enterprise Data Management Platform, with a primary focus on Master Data Management (MDM) and Customer 360 data products.

Key Responsibilities

Product Strategy & Roadmap

• Own and evolve the product roadmap for the MDM platform and associated data products, aligning with enterprise data strategy and regulatory requirements.
• Define and articulate the vision for Customer 360 and other master data domains (Party, Account, Product), ensuring stakeholder alignment across the business.
• Prioritise the backlog based on business value, data quality impact, compliance obligations and engineering effort.

Specification & Requirements

• Author detailed data product specifications including business requirements, data models, entity resolution rules, matching/merge logic and golden record definitions.
• Write unambiguous user stories, acceptance criteria and definition‑of‑done artefacts tailored for both technical engineers and business consumers.
• Translate complex regulatory and compliance requirements (e.g. BCBS 239, GDPR) into actionable product backlog items.
• Define data lineage, data quality rules and SLA/SLO requirements for each data product.

Platform & Delivery

• Collaborate closely with Informatica architects and engineers to ensure platform configurations — including MDM Hub, Data Quality (IDQ), and Customer 360 SaaS modules — meet business requirements.
• Manage sprint ceremonies: backlog refinement, sprint planning, review and retrospectives in an Agile/SAFe delivery model.
• Partner with data stewards, data governance teams and business SMEs to validate data models and matching rule outcomes.
• Drive UAT planning, coordinate business sign‑off, and manage go‑live readiness including training and change management artefacts.

Stakeholder Engagement

• Act as the primary point of contact for business stakeholders, translating their data needs into platform capabilities.
• Present product updates, roadmap progress and data quality metrics to senior leadership and governance forums.
• Engage with vendor (Informatica) to manage the product enhancement pipeline, escalations and licensing considerations.
