At Hometrack, we help the UK’s leading lenders, brokers, and financial institutions make smarter decisions through property data and insights.
At the heart of our evolution is Risk Hub. Currently hosting real-time property valuations and sophisticated analytical dashboards, Risk Hub is transitioning into a comprehensive, one-stop shop for all things property risk. We are looking for a Senior Product Owner to own the delivery and strategic development of this flagship platform.
Requirements
As the Senior Product Owner for Risk Hub, you will be the bridge between vision and execution. You’ll work hand-in-hand with engineers and analysts to prioritise, scope, and deliver features that meet the complex needs of the mortgage and property risk ecosystem.
This role requires a delicate balance of discovery (understanding the "why") and delivery (executing the "how"). You won’t just be managing a backlog; you’ll be ensuring rigorous testing and high-quality releases while deeply exploring the needs of lenders, brokers, estate agents, and investors alike.
Key Responsibilities
- Backlog & Delivery Management: Own the end-to-end delivery backlog for Risk Hub. You’ll translate customer needs into detailed, unambiguous user stories with clear acceptance criteria, managing tickets through to completion. A number of teams feed their requirements into Risk Hub, and it’ll be up to you to prioritise, plan and communicate timelines internally
- Strategic Discovery: Balance rapid delivery with continuous discovery. You will engage with all market participants, from lenders to estate agents, to ensure Risk Hub provides holistic value.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate with software engineers, data engineers, and analysts to ensure goals are clear and milestones are met.
- Stakeholder Alignment: Work closely with commercial, product, and analytics teams to refine requirements, manage expectations, and provide transparent reporting on progress.
- Quality & Rigour: Champion best practices in digital delivery, ensuring every release is rigorously tested and balances accessibility, performance, and scalability.
- Strategic Input: Support the long-term roadmap as Risk Hub scales into a unified interface for all property risk products.
About You
- The Experience: Proven track record as a Product Owner, Delivery Lead, or Product Manager, ideally within Financial Services, Fintech, Proptech or Consultancy.
- The Mindset: You are delivery-focused and detail-oriented, with a knack for making releases smooth and predictable.
- Domain Interest: You have a genuine curiosity about the mortgage and property markets and want to understand the mechanics of risk.
- Technical Fluency: You are comfortable working alongside data scientists and engineers, able to speak their language while keeping the customer’s needs front and center.
- Communication: You’re a natural relationship-builder, capable of managing competing demands from high-level stakeholders while keeping the dev team focused.
Qualities We Admire
- Curiosity: You don’t just accept "how" things work; you want to know "why." You aren't afraid to challenge the status quo to find a better way.
- Adaptability: You can pivot quickly when priorities shift and think outside the box to solve blockers.
- Collaborative Spirit: You believe that the best products are built through partnership, not in a vacuum.
- Rigour: You have a high bar for quality and a commitment to rigorous testing and excellence.
