## Description

Legal & General is looking for an experienced Technical Product Owner to lead a strategic Data Streaming Platform within Data Operations.

The platform moves operational data from a range of source systems into the Retail Data Hub and other strategic data platforms. It reduces pressure on legacy technology, makes information available through a more resilient and scalable technology stack, and supports important digital customer and business services.

This is a dedicated technical Product Owner role. You will be accountable for the product's direction, roadmap, priorities and delivery outcomes, working closely with engineers, architects, DevOps colleagues and senior stakeholders. You will not need to be a hands-on engineer, but you will need the technical understanding and credibility to lead complex platform delivery.

The immediate agenda includes improving platform stability, onboarding additional data sources, balancing technical debt with new capability and positioning the product for continued growth.
What you'll be doing:

 * Defining and communicating the platform vision, strategy and roadmap
 * Owning and prioritising the technical product backlog
 * Improving platform stability, resilience, scalability and operational performance
 * Driving the onboarding of new data sources and platform consumers
 * Balancing new features, technical debt, modernisation, risk and regulatory priorities
 * Leading engineers and technical delivery colleagues through clear priorities and outcomes
 * Influencing senior stakeholders and creating alignment around investment and delivery decisions
 * Defining and communicating measures of platform adoption, performance and business value
