Through our people and technology, we connect clients to superior liquidity and data solutions.

The Group is home to a stable of premium brands. Collectively, TP ICAP is the largest interdealer broker in the world by revenue, the number one Energy & Commodities broker in the world, the world’s leading provider of OTC data, and an award winning all-to-all trading platform.

The Product Owner (PO) is responsible for maximising value delivery across Credit Technology platforms by managing and prioritising the product backlog, ensuring strong alignment to business outcomes, and supporting Agile delivery teams.

Working closely with Product Managers, developers, UX, QA, and business stakeholders, the PO translates strategic objectives into clear, actionable user stories, guides delivery execution, and drives continuous improvement across the product lifecycle.

This role sits at the centre of a broader platform transformation. We are continuing to enhance and deliver business value on our existing systems while iteratively modernising our technology landscape to support greater scalability, performance, and innovation.

This creates a unique opportunity to balance short‑term delivery with long‑term evolution — shaping solutions that meet current business needs while progressively enabling a more modern, resilient, and flexible platform.
