The role
You’ll work closely with Product Managers, Product Owners, subject matter experts and development teams to help turn customer, regulatory and operational requirements into clear product actions.
The products sit in a detailed, deadline-driven environment, so this role suits someone organised, analytical and comfortable working with structured information, reporting processes and business-critical software.
