We've been helping our members save for their future and buy a home of their own since 1845. By joining us, you'll play a big role in helping us to put home ownership within reach of more people, generation after generation.

It's a purpose that drives everything we do and one we're proud of. And you can play your part too – join our dedicated team as a Product Owner which offers a unique opportunity to transform our payments capability as part of the largest transformation programme Leeds Building Society has ever undertaken.

How you'll make a difference:

We are growing our internal payments capability to modernise the Society's payments architecture and to meet rapidly evolving regulatory demands. This role is ideal for a Product Owner with deep payments expertise who is passionate about working with an agile squad. You will be ensuring delivery of payments features that benefit our mortgages and savings customers, and our colleagues.

You will own and manage the Payments backlog for one or multiple agile development squads. This will be delivered through a modern cloud-based ecosystem with Cloud AIS integrations into our customer facing and back-office systems.

You will work with internal stakeholders and external partners to deliver great solutions and regularly obtain feedback throughout development, facilitating engaging demos on a regular basis.

What you'll bring to the role:

• You are an experienced Product Owner
• Must have experience within Payments Services (e.g Faster Payments, CHAPS, BACS Direct Debit, Card Payments, etc). 
• Knowledge of PSD2 regulations and requirements.
• Experience working with an Indirect Participant firm is desirable.
• Experience of working across multiple delivery methodologies, including in an Agile or SAFe environment desirable.

And in return, you'll get the best from us:

• An annual colleague bonus of up to 12%
• Hybrid working with 60% of your time at home
• Matched pension contributions of up to 10%
• 26 days holiday, plus bank holidays and holiday purchase scheme of up to 5 days each year
• Colleague Mortgage and Saver products
• Electric vehicle scheme
• 2 days' volunteering per year

We'll give you a place to belong with the support to learn, develop and shape a meaningful career.
