Data is at the heart of everything we do: Xceptor has been designed around data manipulation in its broadest sense. We source data from wherever it flows. We curate, normalise, validate, repair, and enrich that data so it reaches its destination in a reliable and consistent format. Data coming out of Xceptor is data our clients can trust.
We are recognised as an expert in the Financial Services vertical, which strongly aligns with Business Users in Middle and Back-Office teams. We enable these users to solve their data challenges by themselves, rather than through a technology-led project.
Our People are subject matter experts. We understand our client’s challenges and we’ve got the experience and knowledge to solve them. Our talented team has a deep understanding of the unique challenges of the industry - we can empathise, engage, and speak the same language as our clients.
Our Vision is to be the leading platform for automating data flows.
Our Mission is to empower business users within Financial Institutions to build automated processes that deliver trusted data.
Our Values were created by our people, and speak to both who we are, and who we aspire to be. Ambition is in our DNA, and we embrace any opportunities ahead. Our curiosity and desire to grow drives us to learn from our customers and those around us. Our people are empowered, accountable, and deliver. We pull together, step up and focus on outcomes. The brilliance of our people makes a positive difference.
The business area, your role and the team:
As a Senior Product Manager at Xceptor leading the “Cloud Native” transformation of the Xceptor platform, you will be responsible for one of our key transformation initiatives. This means setting the vision for the area – being clear on the value that we offer our clients - and being accountable for making the vision happen – across product strategy, development and go-to-market activities.
Having defined a product vision that includes market sizing, positioning, market trends & competition information and broad functional scope, you will develop and then deliver against an annual plan that includes an annual goal (that delivers a part of the wider vision), North Star KPIs, milestones, marketing & go-to-market planning and detailed approaches.
Throughout the year, you will represent the business area both towards clients & prospects as well as towards the various parts of Xceptor – including engineering, sales, marketing, implementation & customer success.
You will work especially closely with members of the product & engineering tribe for the area – chief architect, senior engineering manager; product owner; designer; principal software engineer – as well as members of working groups for the area – typically across go-to-market functions.
As part of that, you will directly manage the product owner(s) for the area and will influence other members of the tribe by setting out the tribe’s vision, goals, KPIs & priorities. You will also partner with members of the product & engineering tribe on quarterly delivery plans – setting the tribe’s key business priorities.
As a senior member of the Product team, you will also take responsibility for some of the key product processes – working together with departments like design, market intelligence and product operations to ensure the impact that Product has on Xceptor.
Your focus will be to maximise the impact your business area has by enabling the Xceptor team and generating momentum and excitement for the opportunity ahead.
