Key Responsibilities:

·       Create, own, and communicate the product vision and multi-year roadmap, translating strategic priorities, user needs, regulatory requirements, technical dependencies, and investment constraints into sequenced outcomes.

·       Build and manage effective relationships with business stakeholders, regulatory teams and external partners; understand their needs, translate them into clear product outcomes and requirements, and maintain alignment throughout delivery.

·       Own and manage the Product backlog, ensuring requirements (e.g., epics, features, user stories) are well-defined and supported by minimum data inputs (e.g., cost drivers, user volumes, risk/sensitivity, process impact, dependencies).

·       Lead your team in using approved AI tools to improve productivity and ways of working, including discovery, backlog refinement and requirements drafting.

·       Ensure the product and its changes comply with applicable GxP requirements, including computerised system validation, data integrity, controlled documentation, and regulated change control, obtaining approval from relevant quality and compliance SMEs where required.

·       Lead technical deep dives with Engineers, Solution Architects, security specialists, and vendors to evaluate solution options, constraints, dependencies, scalability, supportability, and total cost of ownership. Use this analysis to make or recommend evidence-based product decisions, challenge assumptions constructively, and ensure technical choices remain aligned with the product vision, enterprise architecture, regulatory requirements, and long-term roadmap.

·       Act as an escalation point for the Product team and business users on functional product issues, guiding decisions within agreed financial, risk, and architectural guardrails.

·       Own product-level financial planning and control within agreed guardrails, including budget forecasting, cost tracking, investment proposals, vendor spend, and benefits realisation.
