Senior Product Owner – Data Platform & Reference Data Foundations
Your role :
The Data Tribe is at the heart of AlphaCredit's data-driven transformation. Our mission is to enable business value through data by developing data platforms, analytics, AI solutions, reporting capabilities, and data governance practices across the organization.
As Senior Product Owner, you will define the vision, roadmap, and priorities for the Data Platform and related data capabilities. Your scope will include the core Data Platform, an accounting-quality reference data foundation initially serving Finance needs, and LETHE, AlphaCredit's solution supporting data lifecycle and purge processes.
Working closely with business stakeholders, platform users, architects, engineers, and colleagues within Personal Finance, you will ensure these capabilities evolve in line with business needs and priorities, operational requirements, and strategic objectives.
You will translate stakeholder needs into clear product decisions, manage priorities across multiple data-related initiatives, and provide a transparent roadmap for users, delivery teams, and management.
Scope of the Role
The role covers the Data Platform and related data capabilities, including:
- Core Data Platform: the central platform used to deliver reporting, analytics, AI, and data governance use cases across the organization.
- Accounting-quality reference data foundation: a reliable and reconciled data foundation, initially serving Finance needs and designed to progressively become a reference starting point for broader data use cases.
- LETHE: AlphaCredit's solution supporting data lifecycle management, purge information, and dependency-aware purge processes.
The Senior Product Owner is expected to manage priorities across these different scopes, balancing business value, Finance needs, operational continuity, delivery capacity, and long-term platform sustainability.
The Senior Product Owner works closely with a cross-functional Agile squad of around ten people, bringing together different profiles from Benelux teams, Centers of Expertise in Romania and Spain, and BNP Paribas Personal Finance central teams. While not hierarchically responsible for the squad, the Product Owner plays a key coordination role by providing clear priorities, facilitating alignment, and ensuring the team works toward shared product objectives.
