Product Owner - Asset Servicing in City of London

Job description

Product Owner – Financial Services | London (Hybrid)

Join Albany Beck as a Consultant delivering high-impact change for a leading global financial institution.

Albany Beck is seeking an experienced Product Owner to play a pivotal role in the delivery of a major transformation within a leading financial services organisation. You’ll be joining at a critical stage — just ahead of the go-live phase of a new settlement processing tool — to ensure the business continues to operate smoothly throughout the transition.

The Role

You will act as the bridge between product, technology, and operations — driving alignment, managing priorities, and ensuring the current settlement framework remains stable and effective while new systems are introduced. This isn’t a migration role, but a leadership position focused on delivery, continuity, and control.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end management of product features, user stories, and best practices.
• Ensure existing systems and processes maintain full functionality during the introduction of new technology.
• Partner closely with stakeholders to define and prioritise requirements for both legacy and new tools.
• Maintain oversight of product performance, dependencies, and timelines to ensure readiness for testing and go-live.
• Champion effective ways of working, bringing teams into alignment with agile principles and delivery excellence.
• Support ongoing testing and validation phases — ensuring a robust framework is in place b

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Product Owner within Asset Servicing or a related financial operations environment.
• Strong understanding of settlement processes and data flow between systems.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills — confident leading from the front.
• Highly organised, diligent, and delivery-focused, with the ability to operate in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.
• Experience using Azure DevOps (ADO) Boards to manage backlogs and sprints.
