Product Owner (Data Platform)

Join our team as a Product Owner!

Yes, you can! That's our attitude towards our work, ambitions, ideas, and relationships. We at Luminor believe that anyone has the potential to achieve big things and encourage everyone to achieve them, professionally and personally. 

Whoever you are and whatever your role is, with Luminor, you will get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a local banking champion.

As a Product Owner in Data Platform, you will be joining the warm, friendly, passionate, diverse, and inclusive Data Platform / Data Mesh team within the Data Management Department in Luminor.

You will own and shape Luminor’s Data Platform as a product, enabling business and technology teams to publish, discover, and consume data products through real‑time streaming and analytical data services.

This is a platform product role – your customers are internal domain teams, analysts, engineers, and data consumers across the bank.

Your mission is to ensure the platform provides secure, scalable, and self-service capabilities that enable domain teams to independently develop, publish, discover, and manage data products across the organization.

We have Bikers, Boarders, Readers, Gamers, Family people, Single people, Happy people, and every other variety of people. Be assured, you will find a bunch of friends here!

How You Will Make an Impact:

• Own the vision, roadmap, and backlog of the Data Platform, aligned with Luminor’s data and business strategy

• Act as the primary interface between business domains, data teams, and platform engineers

• Define and prioritize platform capabilities such as: event streaming (Kafka); schema management and data contracts; data ingestion and processing (streaming and batch); data Lake and analytical data products; self‑service onboarding and tooling for domain teams

• Translate strategic objectives and consumer needs into clear product goals, epics, and user stories

• Ensure the platform delivers measurable value, usability, and reliability for its consumers

• Balance short‑term delivery needs with long‑term platform scalability and sustainability

• Drive alignment on non‑functional requirements (security, performance, availability, data quality)

• Collaborate closely with Architects, Engineers, Business Analysts, and Data Stewards to ensure coherent platform evolution

• Support adoption of Data Mesh principles and productoriented data ownership across the organization

• Ensure platform capabilities support governance, traceability, and regulatory expectations in a banking environment

What Makes You a Great Fit:

• Experience working as a Product Owner, Product Manager, or similar role for technology or data platforms

• Strong understanding of data platforms, analytics ecosystems, or event‑driven architectures

• Ability to work with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders and align them around a shared vision

• Experience with agile product ownership practices (backlog management, prioritization, value‑driven delivery)

• High‑level familiarity with topics such as: event streaming (e.g. Kafka); Data platforms and data lakes; Data products, data contracts, and platform enablement; Metadata, data discovery, and data quality capabilities in modern data platforms

• Familiarity with regulatory expectations around data governance and resilience (e.g., BCBS 239, DORA, GDPR) would be beneficial.

• Strong communication, facilitation, and decision‑making skills

• Curiosity, ownership mindset, and willingness to shape a platform that serves many teams

• Fluent English is required in spoken and written communication due to working on the Pan-Baltic level

What we offer:

• Opportunity to own and grow a strategic internal platform product used across the bank

• Direct impact on how data is delivered, governed, and consumed at enterprise scale

• A collaborative, inclusive, and learning‑oriented culture
