• Provide short-term guidance and hands-on support to existing team members who are not yet working in the organisation’s preferred product model
• Bring structure, consistency, and transparency to backlog management and delivery processes
• Balance short-term delivery needs with longer-term product outcomes

Skills & Experience Required

• Highly numerate, with exposure to financial concepts or finance-related domains (any finance background considered)
• Proven ability to translate complex requirements into clear, concise user stories
• Experience writing acceptance criteria, preferably in BDD (Gherkin) format
• Confident and credible working closely with software engineers and technical stakeholders
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with a calm and pragmatic leadership style
