Chief Product Owner, Securities Services Operations Transformation, Singapore

Securities services experience is essential for this role. If you haven't worked in custody, settlements, corporate actions, securities financing or fund services, this one isn't for you.

I'm working with a global bank on a senior hire to lead the operations transformation of its securities services business. It's a multi-year program covering custody and fund services across a global footprint. The person in this seat owns the target operating model end to end: process, technology, data and organisation.

To be clear, this is not a business product role. It's a program leadership role for someone who has run large operations change before and can think beyond the backlog. You'll set the roadmap, lead a team of Product Owners and make the calls on scope and priority when stakeholders pull in different directions. Because these are operations program, managing risk and issues is a big part of the job, as is proving the efficiencies actually land.

Alongside that securities services background, you'll have led transformation program of at least $15m a year, worked in Agile product delivery at program level and been close enough to technology delivery to know what it takes to get things built. Coaching and developing junior Product Owners matters here too.

Realistically this suits someone with 15+ years in banking
