FDM is a global business and technology consultancy seeking a Senior Product Manager to work for our client within the finance sector.
This is initially a 6-month contract with the potential to extend and will be a hybrid role that will be based in London.
Our client is seeking a Senior Product Manager to own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the replatforming of the wholesale credit system, and drive its delivery end-to-end in an agile way - from target-state definition through build, data migration, and cut-over to the safe decommissioning of the legacy platform. The role ensures the new platform delivers measurable business, risk, and regulatory outcomes: faster and more consistent credit decisioning, stronger risk data, lower operating cost, and reduced operational risk.
Responsibilities
- Product vision & roadmap — Define and own the target-state vision and a multi-year, outcome-driven roadmap for the credit platform, aligned to Wholesale Lending strategy and the CIO’s objectives.
- Backlog & prioritisation — Translate business, risk, and regulatory needs into a prioritised backlog of epics and features; make scope and trade-off decisions transparent to stakeholders.
- Agile delivery leadership — Set direction each sprint / programme increment, partner closely with engineering, architecture, and QA, and coordinate dependencies across multiple squads.
- Migration & cut-over — Own the migration strategy — data migration, parallel running, phased rollout, and safe decommissioning of legacy systems — protecting continuity of a business-critical risk system.
- Stakeholder management — Engage and align senior stakeholders across the front office (coverage / relationship teams), Credit Risk, Operations, Compliance, Finance, Technology, and Internal Audit; run steering and governance forums.
- Vendor & partner management — Where third-party platforms or delivery partners are involved, evaluate configure-vs-build options and manage vendor performance and roadmap alignment.
- Control & compliance — Ensure delivery meets change-governance, security, audit, and regulatory requirements throughout, without sacrificing pace.
- Outcomes & reporting — Define success metrics, track value realisation, and report progress, risks, and benefits to the CIO and programme leadership.
