Senior Data Product Manager - FinTech/FS - Transformation

Senior Data Product Manager / Data Product Manager / Head of Data Product

We've partnered with a brilliant FinTech business that's going through a major transformation across Data, Digital, Technology and Customer Experience. They're completely rethinking how customers and colleagues interact with the business and its platforms, all powered by large-scale, complex data.

As part of this journey, they're looking for two Senior Data Product Managers to take ownership of key data domains. Whilst strong data expertise is important, the real focus is finding proven Product Managers who know how to define, shape and grow successful data products.

This is not a Project Manager or Delivery Manager role. We're looking for true Product professionals who can own strategy, roadmap, adoption and outcomes from end to end.

What the job involves

Data engineers build. Data scientists model. But someone needs to decide what gets built, why it matters, and whether it's actually delivering value. That's this role

You'll own a portfolio of data products within a domain - defining what each product is, who it serves, and what outcome it drives

You'll maintain the roadmap, make trade-offs, drive adoption, and kill things that aren't working. You're the interface between business stakeholders who need data to make decisions and the engineering teams who build it

This isn't a reporting role or a project management role. It's product management applied to data: own the product, define the value, control the cost, and drive the decision

Owning a portfolio of data products within a domain - defining purpose, users, scope, and success criteria for each

Maintaining and prioritising the domain product roadmap, aligned to strategic priorities with transparent trade-offs

Acting as the primary interface between domain leadership and data delivery teams - translating business priorities into product direction

Defining metrics, logic, and SLAs in collaboration with modelling and engineering, ensuring products are consistent with enterprise semantics

Driving adoption - making sure products are discoverable, trusted, understood, and actually used

Owning cost and usage accountability - monitoring spend vs. value, eliminating unused or duplicated outputs, and optimising the portfolio

Conducting regular discovery with data consumers to surface unmet needs and feed real demand into the roadmap

Managing change across the portfolio - versioning, deprecation, consumer communication, and migration support

Ensuring products meet governance, quality, and regulatory standards with clear ownership, lineage, and metadata

What You'll Be Doing

Own a portfolio of data products within a specific domain, which could be Customer Data for example.

Working on exciting innovations like building a Data Marketplace.

Define product vision, strategy, roadmaps and success measures.
