Work with Design, Engineering and Analytics to test ideas, assess feasibility and evaluate potential impact.

Clearly articulate the customer problem, expected value and evidence supporting product recommendations.

Outcomes & Continuous Improvement

Take accountability for improving measurable outcomes within the Onboarding product area.

Establish clear success measures and use data to assess product performance and identify opportunities.

Focus on key measures including Eligible Account Creation Rate, Registration Completion Rate, Eligibility/Checks Completion Rate and Time to Eligibility.

Work closely with Engineering, Design and Delivery to develop solutions, manage dependencies and support effective execution.

Make informed scope and priority trade-offs, balancing impact, effort, risk and available capacity.

Remain accountable for product decisions and outcomes throughout discovery, delivery and post-launch optimisation.

Build effective working relationships across Product, Technology, Design, Analytics, Compliance, Operations and commercial teams.

Align stakeholders around customer problems, priorities, evidence and expected outcomes.

Communicate product direction, recommendations, progress and performance clearly to different audiences.

Constructively challenge requests and assumptions, using evidence to focus investment on the most valuable opportunities.

Work with colleagues across Join, Play and Stay to ensure smooth transitions between journeys and a connected end-to-end customer experience.
