The position has been created as part of a product team restructure, increasing senior ownership and accountability across key areas of the platform.

OR
Digital, Data & Customer Experience Focus
- Experience delivering digital platform capabilities, customer journeys or mobile experiences
- Strong interest in data‐led product decision‐making
