Job description
Role Description Reporting to the Head of Delivery Enablement, this role leads Finance Engineering's transition to a product-led operating model. It establishes the practical structures, behaviours and engineering practices needed to organise around products, focus on measurable outcomes and improve delivery flow. The Product Delivery Lead works across Product, Engineering, Architecture, Operations and Business teams to translate strategy into outcome-based roadmaps, remove systemic delivery constraints and enable sustainable ways of working within LSEG's risk and control environment. The emphasis is on hands-on enablement and organisational change rather than project administration. The role requires a credible foundation in engineering or architecture, together with the judgement and influence to support change at team, platform and leadership levels. Key
Responsibilities

Move teams from project- and output-focused delivery towards persistent product ownership, measurable outcomes and continuous improvement. Pilot new practices with teams, learn from adoption and scale what works without imposing unnecessary standardisation. Build internal capability through coaching, practical guidance and communities of practice Engineering & Architecture Enablement Partner with Engineering and Architecture leaders to align product roadmaps with technology strategy and platform evolution. Use engineering insight to identify and remove constraints across architecture, dependencies, environments, release, integration and operations.

Planning, Prioritisation & Flow Translate product strategy and business priorities into outcome-based roadmaps and executable plans. Establish pragmatic prioritisation, capacity, dependency, risk and release planning across products and platforms. Coach teams on backlog quality, work decomposition, flow and delivery forecasting. Facilitate cross-team decisions and remove systemic impediments to delivery. Tooling, Data & Continuous Improvement Define a coherent Jira and Confluence information model, work hierarchy, workflows and reporting that support traceability without creating bureaucracy. Establish balanced measures across outcomes, flow, quality, reliability and engineering effectiveness. Drive adoption of DORA, SPACE and other engineering effectiveness measures. Use quantitative and qualitative insight to identify bottlenecks, test improvements and demonstrate progress. Continuously simplify processes and controls while maintaining required evidence and assurance. • Leadership & Stakeholder Influence Advise and coach Product Managers, Engineering Managers, Architects, Delivery Leads and senior stakeholders. Create alignment on roles, accountabilities, priorities and trade-offs across Product, Engineering, Architecture, Operations and Business. Lead planning and governance forums that drive decisions rather than status reporting. Communicate progress, risks and recommendations clearly at team and executive levels.
