SKILLS
ABOUT PAUL THOMPSON
At its core, I’m a Product Manager and Product Owner for an enterprise web platform used by internal teams, setting product strategy and vision, owning the roadmap and backlog, translating business problems that cut across multiple data sources into clear product capabilities, and leading creative and technical teams to deliver iteratively and at pace.Senior Product Leader with 20 years’ experience across technology and platform delivery within banking, wealth management, and financial services.Currently operating at Senior Product Owner / Lead PO / Product Manager level at UBS, I own the vision, product-led solution design, and delivery of enterprise data platforms used by senior leaders and internal teams. I specialise in taking complex initiatives and turning them into trusted, high-adoption products.Most notably, I led the transformation of a failed internal reporting concept into a cloud-native Azure platform, bringing together fragmented data from multiple systems to answer business questions others struggled to solve. This grew usage from approximately 30 users to 16,500 unique users, with visits increasing from in 2021 to in 2024.The platform supports decision-making across business management, service and product performance, and risk and control, enabling leaders to see a coherent picture across operational and strategic concerns.I operate as a solutions-oriented product leader, defining product vision, logical data design, and user experience while partnering with specialist engineering teams for implementation. I design solutions at the intersection of business questions, data structure, and user experience, ensuring platforms are credible, intuitive, and genuinely used.Through the platform I lead, I’m actively exploring and shaping practical AI use cases where they genuinely improve insight, usability, and decision-making, while operating within enterprise risk and governance constraints.UX is a core part of product credibility for me. Even the strongest technical implementation is undermined without a unified and intuitive experience. As part of product ownership, I have led UX and interaction design using Figma to establish a coherent, end-to-end product experience where needed.London, UK | Open to Senior PO, Lead PO, and Product Manager (Data / Platform) conversations.
