Work with your Group Product Manager to translate product strategy and experiment priorities into well-scoped tickets, timelines, and delivered features.
Develop and maintain a deep understanding of the adviser productivity funnel - know how many advisers are in each band, what is moving them up, and where they are getting stuck.
Develop and maintain a view of your key metrics and build instrumentation into the products you manage so you have an ongoing view of performance; know when a number looks wrong before it is flagged to you.
Gather ongoing feedback from advisers and managers directly; build the observational habits to understand where the pipeline is failing and bring findings to the Group PM with a point of view, not just a summary.
Own the alert and nudge pipeline end to end - template creation, regulatory approval submissions, staging tests, production deployment, and delivery quality - ensuring advisers receive the right recommendations reliably.
Manage rollout logistics for new features: determine sequencing, verify adviser access across branches and regions, and troubleshoot activation issues.
Set up experiment infrastructure as directed by the Group PM - cohort assignment, data feeds, template creation, tracking configuration - and take responsibility for data quality and delivery reliability throughout the experiment window.
Compile clean experiment data packages for the Group PM to analyse and interpret; manage the operational handoff when successful experiments move to production.
Work with lead engineers to coordinate delivery sequencing, dependencies, and deployment schedules; maintain a well-groomed backlog with clear acceptance criteria and flag risks early with a proposed solution attached.
Take responsibility for the business outcomes of the initiatives you run: if adviser productivity is not moving, understand why and bring a plan to address it.
Ensure automated reports are accurate and distributed reliably; maintain product analytics dashboards and coordinate data logistics with external partners.
