• Identify customer, introducer, and market opportunities to define portfolio priorities and shape strong product propositions.
• Work cross-functionally with technology, operations, distribution, risk, and compliance teams to translate roadmap priorities into executable initiatives.
• Make pragmatic trade-off decisions balancing customer outcomes, commercial performance, regulatory requirements, and delivery constraints.
• Utilize customer insights, adviser feedback, and performance data to continuously enhance product offerings.
• Proactively identify delivery risks, dependencies, and bottlenecks, escalating appropriately to maintain momentum.
• Ensure strict adherence to compliance standards, legal requirements, and internal risk management frameworks (three lines of defence)
  

Key Requirements:

• Strong understanding of lending products and concepts within the New Zealand market.
• 5 years of experience in product ownership, product management, or product delivery within financial services (preferably with exposure to Auto, Personal Loans, Mortgages, or Property products).

• Proven capability in managing competing portfolio priorities and making pragmatic decisions to keep pace.
