Job description

My Client are a P.E Backed Fintech organisation.


They are in the middle of a fundamental transformation - not just of its technology platform... but of how the business thinks about technology / operational delivery.


Five primary value streams have been defined - Deal Onboarding & Activation, Facility Lifecycle Administration, Covenant & Compliance Management, Amendment & Consent Management, and Client Service & Relationship Management. Every piece of work is now anchored to one of these streams. The business needs to develop the capability to lead this model - and that is the purpose of this role.


This Management Consultant (Product) will arrive as the capability builder - the person who ensures that the business side of this new model is as strong as the engineering side. Without this role, the delivery model risks being an engineering-led reset with business teams as passive recipients rather than active owners. The role requires someone who has done this before in a high-pressure (ideally P.E-backed) environment and who can move quickly without being destabilising.


Key Deliverables:


  • Define and Populate the Value Stream Work Packages
  • Embed Agile and Outcome-Focused Ways of Working
  • Assess and Close the BA / PO Capability Gap
  • Support the Architecture and Capability Review
  • Educate and Coach the Business on Product Ownership
  • Establish the Product Operating Model
  • Design the AI and Digital Readiness Backlog


Essential (Non-Negotiable):


  • Management Consulting and Financial services experience - Understands the regulatory and operational context of a financial services environment - data governance, audit trail requirements, multi-regulator obligations
  • Demonstrable experience as a senior Product Consultant / Manager or Head of Product in a technology-led organisation.
  • Value stream and capability thinking - Has operated in a business architecture or value stream mapping context. Understands capability decomposition and how to connect a technology delivery to a business outcome through a traceable chain.
  • Must have personally led value stream or capability-based delivery, not just managed a feature backlog.
  • Coaching and capability building
  • Track record of building product management capability in organisations that did not previously have it.
  • Can evidence the uplift they delivered - not just the artefacts, but the capability of the people left behind.
  • Agile delivery leadership - Has led agile delivery in a complex, partner-heavy engineering environment.
  • Understands the difference between Scrum theory and how Scrum actually needs to work when a third party delivery partner is executing the work.
  • Stakeholder authority Can operate confidently alongside C-suite stakeholders — COO, CTO, CEO - and shape decisions, not just support them. This role requires genuine authority in the room, not facilitation skills.


Desirable (Significant Advantage):


  • Loan / lending knowledge
  • Platform or Fintech product experience - Has worked on a platform business moving from operational software to a commercially extensible, API-first product — ideally in a PE-backed environment with an aggressive growth agenda.
  • AI product experience - Has defined and owned AI product increments — not AI strategy documents, but actual product features involving LLMs, ML models, or agentic workflows embedded in operational processes.
  • Private equity environment - Comfortable with the pace, accountability, and commercial alignment requirements of a PE-backed business. Understands that the value creation agenda is real and the timeline is not flexible.


If this aligns closely to your background of experience and you are immediately available, with current Rights to Work in the UK, then please apply here, or email your C.V to me benjamin@tarkatalent.co.uk
