Senior Product Manager (Wholesale)- London

About The Role

FDM is a global business and technology consultancy seeking a Senior Product manager to work for our client within the finance sector. This is initially a 6 month contract with the potential to extend and will be a hybrid role that will be based in London.

Our client is seeking a Senior Product Manager to own the product vision, strategy and roadmap for the replatforming of the wholesale credit system, and drive its delivery end-to-end in an agile way- from target-state definition through build, data migration and cut-over to the safe decommissioning of the legacy platform. The role ensures the new platform delivers measurable business, risk and regulatory outcomes: faster and more consistent credit decisioning, stronger risk data, lower operating cost and reduced operational risk.

Responsibilities:

Product vision & roadmap — define and own the target-state vision and a multi-year, outcome-driven roadmap for the credit platform, aligned to Wholesale Lending strategy and the CIO’s objectives.
Backlog & prioritisation — translate business, risk and regulatory needs into a prioritised backlog of epics and features; make scope and trade-off decisions transparent to stakeholders.
Agile delivery leadership — set direction each sprint / programme increment, partner closely with engineering, architecture and QA, and coordinate dependencies across multiple squads.
Migration & cut-over — own the migration strategy — data migration, parallel running, phased rollout and safe decommissioning of legacy systems — protecting continuity of a business-critical risk system.
Stakeholder management — engage and align senior stakeholders across the front office (coverage / relationship teams), Credit Risk, Operations, Compliance, Finance, Technology and Internal Audit; run steering and governance forums.
Vendor & partner management — where third-party platforms or delivery partners are involved, evaluate configure-vs-build options and manage vendor performance and roadmap alignment.
Control & compliance — ensure delivery meets change-governance, security, audit and regulatory requirements throughout, without sacrificing pace.
Outcomes & reporting — define success metrics, track value realisation, and report progress, risks and benefits to the CIO and programme leadership.

About You

Essential:

Domain expertise - wholesale credit

Strong understanding of the corporate / wholesale credit lifecycle: origination, credit assessment and rating, approval / sanctioning workflow, limit and exposure management, covenant monitoring, and annual review / renewal.
Working knowledge of the risk and regulatory landscape, including Basel III/IV, IRB credit risk models, IFRS 9 / ECL, stress testing and model governance, sufficient to translate regulatory requirements into product requirements.

Product management craft

Proven track record of setting product vision and roadmap, and managing a large backlog across complex technology change or replatforming programmes.
Outcome-focused prioritisation, balancing value, effort and risk, with the ability to clearly articulate the rationale behind delivery decisions.

Understanding of modern platform architecture, including cloud, APIs, microservices, event-driven integration and data platforms, with the ability to challenge and partner effectively with engineering teams.

Stakeholder leadership and influence

Credibility with senior stakeholders and the ability to influence without direct authority across front office, risk, operations, technology and compliance functions.
Excellent communication skills, able to tailor messages to both business and technical audiences and operate effectively in ambiguous and evolving environments.

Governance, risk and controls

Experience delivering within a regulated banking control framework, including change governance, audit trails, model risk, data governance and third-party risk management.
