* Act as the business lead on projects to develop, deliver and bring to market compliant propositions that meet customer needs and achieve their anticipated business benefits.
* Identify and evaluate tactical improvements to the proposition - documenting ideas, defining proposals, requirements and creating proposition business cases to justify their development.
* Collaborate with key stakeholders from across the business to ensure all aspects of the proposition are appropriately considered throughout the proposition life-cycle. This includes working closely with Investments to ensure the investment strategy continues to meet customer needs as part of all products developed within in the overall proposition.

* Evidence of working with senior business stakeholders and sponsors to gather and assess their requirements.

* Ability to articulate proposition business requirements in a logical, unambiguous way.
