We are seeking an exceptional Product Analyst to join our Value Assurance team, supporting a major Digital Transformation within Engineering. This is not a routine BAU role — it’s a strategic, high‐impact position focused on modernising operational technology and improving integrated planning across a complex operational environment.

This role sits at the intersection of Product, Data/AI, and Value Assurance, and is ideal for someone with a consulting background who can drive clarity, challenge decision‐making, and deliver measurable business outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

Product Leadership

• Lead ongoing and new product implementations aligned to Engineering’s digital transformation roadmap.
• Analyse solution and product landscape options, providing clear recommendations with pros/cons.
• Translate business needs into actionable requirements, roadmaps, and solution proposals.
• Collaborate with technical and non‐technical stakeholders to ensure timely, meaningful delivery.
• Develop deep domain understanding of business processes, pain points, and operational constraints.
• Communicate insights, technical topics, and recommendations clearly to diverse audiences.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with junior–senior stakeholders across the business.
• Champion best‐practice technology principles across architecture, development, and testing.
• Contribute to governance, communications, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Value Assurance

• Provide independent oversight and quality assurance for key programmes and projects.
• Apply lessons learned from previous digital transformation initiatives to improve delivery outcomes.
• Monitor programme performance using KPIs, value frameworks, and ROI measurement tools.
• Develop and implement programme standards, frameworks, and methodologies.
• Oversee financial governance including budgeting, forecasting, and cost‐control processes.
• Engage stakeholders on financial planning, ensuring alignment on cost/benefit and investment rationale.
• Ensure transparency, accountability, and benefit realisation across all initiatives.

About You

You will thrive in this role if you have:

• Strong Product Analysis experience across complex transformation programmes.
• Background as an ex‐consultant (PWC, EY, McKinsey, Blackrock, Deloitte).
• Solid experience in product‐led delivery, particularly within data, analytics, or AI‐driven platforms.
• Ability to challenge assumptions, influence senior stakeholders, and drive clarity in ambiguous situations.
• Proven capability in value assurance, programme oversight, or benefits realisation.
• Excellent communication skills — able to translate complexity into clear, actionable insight.
• Experience working in fast‐paced, high‐stakes environments.
• Immediate availability is highly preferred.
