About this opportunity
Closely aligned to Everyday Banking, the Core Banking platform (CBP) has responsibility for the maintenance and development of the systems which host all of the core banking products for the Lloyds Banking Group brands. Over the coming years the Next Gen Core Lab which sits within the CBP will build out the LBG Core Banking system of the future that will eventually house the Group's c55m Retail Savings and Current Accounts. By delivering a loosely coupled architecture with the TM Vault application at its heart, hosted on GCP Public Cloud, we will enable Product teams to deliver product and propositional changes in timescales that, right now, they can only dream of! We'll do this through a phased roadmap delivery, incrementally building components as they are needed which will accelerate value release.
We're recruiting a Product Owner (PO) into the Next Gen Core Lab within CBP. The PO will be an inspiring leader who will empower their team to tackle business problems and create customer value by delivering excellent solutions in response to customer needs. You will bring to life the delivery of our products, create an environment in which people reach their full potential and a culture where innovation and experimentation are encouraged.

* Supports development of platform OKRs and provides product performance and benefits realisation data
* Defines features and user-stories at Lab or Team level to meet customer needs
* Works with Customer Journey Manager to analyse user stories for customer journey improvements

* Accountable for Product change governance (e.g., CMIA / SPFIA) and Business Readiness activities (e.g., training and comms, testing and readiness for implementation) for their respective features, journeys or technology components. Note: PO's are accountable but activities to be delivered by the whole 'team'
