Product Owner (Data)
London, UK (Hybrid)
Our client is a market-leading UK energy infrastructure business focused on accelerating the energy transition through flexible power generation, battery energy storage, and grid-balancing solutions. They're hiring a Product Owner (Data) to serve as the single point of accountability for data products across their group.
As data needs to grow in parallel across Analytics/Trading, Asset Management, and the Operations platform, this role provides the structure and visibility that makes the data team effective and scalable: a single person who understands what data products exist, what is being requested across divisions, and how to sequence delivery against business priorities. The right candidate brings strong product ownership experience and is comfortable operating as the interface between multiple non-technical stakeholders and a specialist data engineering team. Data science capability is valued but secondary to these core skills.
Key Responsibilities:
Data Product Ownership
- Maintain a consolidated, group-wide view of data requirements across Analytics/Trading, Asset Management, the SEO platform, and any other relevant areas
- Own the data product backlog: intake, refinement, prioritisation, and progress tracking
- Develop and maintain a clear understanding of the capabilities of each data product being built, and how they can address problems across the group
- Define and maintain data product standards: schemas, naming conventions, quality criteria, and documentation
