Role Overview

TP ICAP's Risk Technology (sitting withing Corporate Functions) function owns the platforms that power market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk management globally. We are delivering a multi-year Risk Technology Roadmap to modernise a legacy estate of Oracle Forms, .NET, and Excel-based systems into a modern AWS serverless platform - while building new capabilities in intraday exposure monitoring, margin prediction, and automated alerting.

The roadmap spans multiple concurrent workstreams and delivery is accelerating through AI-assisted engineering. We need a Product Owner who can translate complex risk domain requirements into prioritised backlogs and drive engineering teams to deliver at pace.

You will sit at the intersection of business and technology - working with Financial Risk Management, trading desks, and engineering teams to shape what gets built and when. This is a hands-on role for someone comfortable making prioritisation decisions that balance strategic modernisation with immediate operational needs.

Role Responsibilities

• Own and prioritise the Product Backlog, ensuring user stories are well defined and meet the agreed Definition of Ready.

• Collaborate with Product/Programme Managers to align delivery with product strategy and roadmap.

• Support development teams by clarifying requirements, providing business context, and guiding sprint goals.

• Apply customer-centric thinking using feedback, usability insights, and market inputs to validate and refine solutions.

• Lead creation of user stories, acceptance criteria, and relevant artefacts such as workflows or mock-ups.

• Coordinate cross-team delivery, managing dependencies, risks, and stakeholder alignment.

• Conduct backlog grooming, prioritisation reviews, and contribute to PI planning and Agile ceremonies.

• Review prototypes, proofs of concept, and completed increments to ensure they meet business needs.

• Support UAT and ensure functional outcomes meet customer and business expectations.

Experience / Competences

Essential

• Proven experience as a Product Owner or BA in financial services technology, ideally within risk, post-trade, or capital markets.

• Strong stakeholder management - able to engage credibly with both engineers and senior business stakeholders.

• Solid grasp of Agile delivery (Scrum or SAFe), including backlog refinement, sprint planning, and acceptance criteria.

• Ability to decompose complex requirements into well-defined, deliverable user stories.

• Comfortable working with Jira and Confluence as core delivery tools.

• Clear communicator who can translate between business language and technical detail without losing either.

• Experience working within or alongside multi-year transformation programmes with cross-team dependencies.

Desired

• Understanding of front-to-back trade lifecycle or complex enterprise technology workflows.

• Experience in financial markets, trading, broking, or liquidity solutions.

• Understanding of market risk, credit risk, or liquidity risk concepts (exposure, VaR, margin, limits).

• Exposure to cloud platforms (e.g., AWS) or authentication frameworks (e.g., OAuth2, Okta).

• Prior involvement in SAFe Agile environments.
