About the job

The role serves as the single point of accountability for the platform’s evolution and sits at the intersection of institutional client needs, engineering delivery, and regulatory/compliance requirements.

* Set and enforce roadmap priorities, including pushing back on non‑essential requests
* Coordinate with external engineering partners and maintain scope discipline
* Resolve conflicts between client requests, technical feasibility, and compliance constraints
* Make go/no‑go decisions on integrations, product features, and releases
* Ensure product development aligns with the long‑term architecture and scalability of the Hadron platform

The Product Owner must manage this complexity by maintaining a clear product strategy, prioritizing ruthlessly, and preventing scope creep. The role requires strong ownership and the ability to make difficult prioritization decisions in a fast‑moving institutional environment.
