Technical Product Owner
Investec is seeking a Technical Product Owner to join our Account Services Platform (ASP) team and help shape the technology that supports our transactional banking products across the UK. This role involves taking ownership of a technically complex platform covering account processing, financial reporting, reconciliation, and payment settlement.
Role Overview
You will work at the intersection of business, product, and technology, translating business needs into clear technical outcomes and helping multidisciplinary teams deliver them. Alongside shaping the longer-term platform roadmap, you will play an important role in modernising our core banking capabilities and supporting the migration of accounts onto the modern platform.
Responsibilities
- Own and communicate the product vision, roadmap, and objectives for the Account Services Platform, balancing strategic modernisation with regulatory, risk, and operational priorities.
- Translate business needs into clear technical requirements, epics, features, and user stories using sequence diagrams, data models, process flows, and other business analysis techniques.
- Own, refine, and prioritise the product backlog based on client and business value, regulatory criticality, and risk reduction.
- Lead backlog refinement, sprint reviews, and planning sessions across multidisciplinary teams in the UK and South Africa.
- Act as a technical representative for the platform, clearly explaining its account capabilities, APIs, events, and dependencies to business stakeholders and other technology teams.
- Help define and deliver the account migration approach, including data-quality remediation, reconciliation, conversion activity, dress rehearsals, delivery governance, and post-migration validation.
- Collaborate with engineering, QA, architecture, and data platform teams, while engaging with vendors where new capabilities or platform changes are required.
- Champion agile delivery, DevSecOps practices, and the effective use of delivery metrics, removing impediments and helping teams maintain momentum.
