Senior Product Manager, IT Asset Decommissioning

Role overview:

The Infrastructure Platform Engineering (IPE) team, part of Infrastructure and Cloud division, is responsible for the engineering and operation of LSEG’s Group Engineering’s core infrastructure services, including data centres, storage, private cloud, platforms, databases, and middleware. Our mission is to modernise and transform the experience of our customers and our own ways of working, by deploying automation and Platform-as-Product services, to enable increasingly efficient, scalable and secure infrastructure products that better support business operations and future transformation.

As a Senior Product Manager, IT Asset Decommissioning, you will devise a more structured and strategic multi-year decommissioning roadmap for enterprise-wide, by partnering closely with collaborators across business units, engineering teams, and transformation programmes.

Alongside the strategic decommissioning roadmap, you will facilitate ongoing operations of the decommission pipeline and seek opportunities to accelerate or optimise delivery of existing decommissioning initiatives.

To support IPE’s Transformation objectives and journey towards Platform as Product, you will also be responsible for transforming the operation of decommissioning services toward a product-led operating model. You will build a product strategy which establishes Decommissioning Services as a true product capability, and through the enhancement of existing automation, and the development of new platform capabilities which empower our customers through more self-service consumption, while enabling faster, safer decommissions.

• Ownership of Delivery: Lead delivery across the Decommissioning Engineering team throughout the end-to-end delivery chain, identifying and implementing opportunities to optimise and maximise for value and efficiency.
• Stakeholder engagement: act as a conduit between technical teams and customers, aligning with portfolio and partner program governance processes and fostering collaboration to achieve consensus on key decisions
• Lead Agile Ceremonies: facilitate ceremonies such as sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives, ensuring the development process stays on track.
• Reporting: Create clarity and facilitate decisions through insightful and timely reporting to programs and collaborators, using data to advise on progress or improvement opportunities.
• Implementing metrics and KPIs: work with the team in defining and meeting the right set of metrics to drive delivery productivity and output quality, including finding opportunities to optimise for timeliness, efficiency and quality in the delivery cycle.
• Risk, Issue & Dependency Management: proactively manage dependencies, risk and issues for delivery, documenting assumptions, assessing likelihood and impact, planning mitigations and raising issues as needed.
• Foster continuous improvement and collaboration: Drive our collaboration and continuous improvement culture, including seeking to assess and improve processes, tools, and practices to enhance team performance and product quality.

What you will bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, or similar, or equivalent experience.
