The Role

The Senior Manager, Business Operations - Product will partner with the GM, Product to turn Product strategy into execution, keeping the function connected, transparent and outcome-focused.

You'll maintain a clear view across priorities, roadmaps, delivery, resources and performance, flagging risks and dependencies early. You'll translate strategy into measurable goals and executable plans, keep roadmaps, Jira and delivery aligned across Product and Engineering, and remove blockers independently.

You'll also provide leadership with a reliable view of product, client, commercial and delivery metrics, and drive cross-product initiatives spanning multiple domains and functions.

This is a senior, highly autonomous role for someone who combines strategic thinking with operational discipline and sound judgement, and who turns ambiguity into clear recommendations and action.

Your key responsibilities will include:

Act as a trusted operational partner to the GM, Product, translating Product strategy into measurable goals, porfolio priorities, roadmaps and executable plans, and surfacing issues requiring GM attention with clear context and recommendations
Maintain a consolidated view of Product priorities and investment across domains, ensuring strategic priorities are reflected in where Product and Technology effort is focused
Lead the portfolio prioritisation and quarterly planning, bringing together client impact, commercial value, strategic importance, dependencies, delivery complexity and available capacity
Maintain a reliable portfolio-level view of execution across Product and Engineering, connecting Product roadmaps, strategic initiatives and work in Jira to provide visibility of progress, ownership, dependencies and delivery risk
Work with Product and Engineering leaders to identify slippage, dependencies, capacity constraints and misalignment between agreed priorities and work in execution
Proactively resolve issues where possible and escalate material risks to the GM, Product with clear analysis, impact, options and recommended actions
Maintain a clear view of performance across Product domains, working with Product leaders and Data & BI to establish meaningful client, Product, commercial and delivery metrics and assess whether investments are delivering their intended outcomes
Own and coordinate the Product reporting cadence, including bi-weekly and monthly reporting, quarterly reviews, portfolio updates and relevant leadership materials
Identify trends, areas of underperformance and emerging risks, providing insight and recommendations rather than simply consolidating status updates
Independently lead and coordinate selected strategic initiatives spanning multiple Product domains, Technology teams or business functions
Translate strategic initiatives into clear outcomes, owners, milestones, dependencies and measures of success, maintaining momentum through to delivery
Establish appropriate governance through Product leadership forums, SteerCos and other relevant business forums ensuring decisions, risks, actions and commitments are clearly owned and followed through
Maintain a consolidated view of Product and relevant Engineering capacity against strategic priorities, identifying resource gaps, competing demands and opportunities to reallocate investment
Support Product financial, resource and workforce planning, partnering with Finance and P&C on budgets, forecasting, investment proposals and organisation decisions and investment proposals
Provide appropriate oversight of Product vendors, SOWs, invoices and other operational requirements
Product operating model and transformation
Work with Product and Engineering leadership to improve ownership, decision rights, planning ,accountability and ways of working across teams
Support Product and Engineering teams in adopting AI-native approaches to product development, workflow management and delivery, identifying opportunities to automate repetitive work and improve the speed and quality of execution
Drive adoption and optimisation of tools and ways of working that improve portfolio visibility, productivity and collaboration
