What We're Looking For

We are seeking a hands-on Technical Product Owner who can operate comfortably between business and technology teams, challenge delivery assumptions, make prioritisation decisions, and drive successful migration outcomes in a complex enterprise environment. The successful candidate will have strong delivery leadership, excellent stakeholder management capabilities and experience working on large-scale cloud or data platform transformation programmes.

Role Purpose

The Technical Product Owner is accountable for the delivery of cloud migration outcomes across one or more EDP Cloud Migration squads. The role combines product ownership, technical delivery leadership and stakeholder management to ensure business requirements are translated into prioritised backlogs and delivered through Agile engineering teams.

The role acts as the primary interface between Business, Architecture, Engineering, Security, Data Governance and Change functions, driving successful migration of business capabilities from legacy platforms to the Enterprise Data Platform (EDP).

Unlike a traditional Product Owner, this is a highly technical delivery-focused role requiring strong understanding of cloud migration, data platforms, engineering delivery lifecycles, platform dependencies and enterprise governance processes. The role owns delivery outcomes but is not responsible for detailed solution architecture or engineering execution.
