Hackajob is collaborating with Barclays to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role. Join us as a Head of Product Operations where you’ll own and evolve our product tooling ecosystem, ensuring it enables teams rather than slows them down. You’ll drive adoption, consistency and data quality so decisions are based on trusted, comparable insights. You’ll design and scale simple, effective ways of working, removing unnecessary process and empowering teams to move faster with greater autonomy. You’ll build real-time visibility of the product portfolio, giving leadership a clear, accurate view of performance, capacity and delivery health. Acting as the connective tissue across Product, Engineering, Design and Risk, you’ll surface and resolve blockers before they escalate. We’re looking for someone who doesn’t just manage process, but improves, challenges and removes it where needed to maximise impact.
