A great Product Owner typically brings a blend of customer focus, strategic thinking, and product mindset. Some of the things I look for are:
- Customer-obsessed mindset – constantly seeking to understand customer needs, pain points, and behaviours rather than relying on assumptions and requirements. Has strong evidence of being able to lead great discovery and design sprints.
- Outcome-focused thinking – prioritising measurable customer and business outcomes over feature delivery for its own sake.
- Strong stakeholder management – able to align diverse stakeholders around a clear vision and make informed trade-off decisions.
- Data-informed decision making – comfortable using insight, evidence, and experimentation to shape priorities and validate ideas.
- Ownership and adaptability – takes accountability for outcomes, embraces ambiguity, and continuously learns and iterates.
Banking industry experience and understanding of the Lending product will be a value added.
