Technical Product Owner (Connected Mobility, Data Pipelines)
Location: Farringdon, London – Hybrid
About the Role
Are you a dynamic, experienced Technical Product Owner with a deep interest in connected mobility, particularly in working with data pipelines and data-driven product requirements?
This permanent role involves leading a technical project with a strong emphasis on bridging the gap between business needs and data engineering. You’ll perform a structured gap analysis, translating findings into clear, testable requirements that engineering teams can estimate, plan, and deliver while ensuring a well-defined target state and unambiguous path to success.
Responsibilities
Scope & Target-State Definition
- Align stakeholders on objectives, outcomes, constraints, and success measures.
- Define:
- In-scope systems, integrations, data sources, environments, and interfaces.
- Assumptions, dependencies, risks, and decision owners.
Current-State Assessment
- Review existing artefacts (architecture, APIs, data models, tickets, release notes, incidents).
- Map:
- Current workflows and system behaviours (including edge cases and failure modes).
- Integrations (API/event/file) and key data flows, including ownership and operational touchpoints.
Gap Analysis
Identify gaps between current and target states across:
- Functional behaviour
- Data (coverage, quality, retention, lineage)
- Integrations and contracts (versioning, error handling)
- Operational readiness (monitoring, alerting, runbooks, support)
