Are you an experienced Product Owner with a strong background in Financial Markets and in-depth knowledge of Equities? Do you know how trading and execution flows work from front to back, and can you translate complex business needs into clear priorities for IT teams? Then this could be an interesting opportunity for you.

For ING Financial Markets, we are looking for a Senior Product Owner to lead two squads within the Global Equity Listed Products (GEP) domain.

You work closely with stakeholders across Trading, Sales, Risk, Operations, IT and Procurement. You assess new demands, make prioritisation decisions and translate business requirements into clear outcomes for the squads.

You will lead two squads consisting of IT DevOps Engineers and Customer Journey Experts and work closely with neighbouring Product Owners and the Product Manager.

About the environment

The Global Equity Listed Products area consists of several squads responsible for the end-to-end delivery and evolution of ING’s technology landscape across Equity Structured Products, Listed Derivatives and Fixed Income.

You will operate at the intersection of business and technology, where strategic change, regulatory requirements and the stability of critical Financial Markets applications all need to come together.
