Edinburgh, United Kingdom abrdn Full time

Job Description

At abrdn, our purpose is to enable our clients to be better investors.

Clients worldwide trust us to find future-fit investment opportunities to deliver the outcomes they want. Our technology and insight help empower them to make better decisions, while the powerful partnerships we build help to enhance the expertise that we offer. And by enabling clients to invest responsibly, it helps us to build a better world.

We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Product Owner to join our interactive investor business.

About ii

interactive investor (ii) is the UK's number one flat-fee investment platform, with assets under administration approaching £55 billion and over 400,000 customers.

ii enables individuals in the UK to plan, save and invest in the way that works for them.

We want to transform how people access financial services in the UK, to make advice and guidance accessible and mainstream to individuals. At present, customers face a polarising choice between full comprehensive financial advice and a fully do-it-yourself solution with very little in between. We see an opportunity in that “middle space” for propositions that make it amazingly easy for customers to sort their big financial problems, and that enable the customer to trade-up for extra help if, and when, they need it.

About the role

The Product Owner will help deliver our advice and guidance capability.

We’ve made a lot of progress on this vision and are looking to build out the team. We’re looking for people with great product skills and experience who can look at a problem, translate that into business needs and requirements and then work with our developers and test teams to deliver a solution.

You’ll be leading a squad setting direction, capturing business requirements, performing business and systems analysis, supporting developers to design solutions, helping to build test strategies and analyse issues, particularly in relation to more complex journeys.

You’ll be responsible for building and improving customer and colleague journeys, working as the link between the business and IT delivery. The role will require you to build a strong knowledge of our business, the technical ecosystem, along with taking a data led approach to owning the outcome. You’ll be responsible for decision making and prioritisation calls, building out the roadmap, setting a vision and metrics leveraging user insight.

Customer insight- Build insight from customer testing, feedback, and data analytics to be the voice of the end customer and ensure decision making is data led where practical, but unafraid to make a call when the data is weak.
