Following is a summary of the essential functions for this job. Other duties may be performed, both major and minor, which are not mentioned below. Specific activities may change from time to time.

1. Develop and maintain a product vision and strategic roadmap for Wealth Brokerage capabilities, aligned to business objectives, client needs, operational priorities and technology strategy.

2. Research and analyse the needs of Wealth Brokerage clients, advisers, operations teams, supervisors and other target users. Translate findings into clear product outcomes and prioritised opportunities.
