Product Technical Lead at 83zero Limited, Multiple Locations, £700-£701 per day

Senior Technical Product Lead - API & Data Platforms

• London - Hybrid (2/3 days onsite)
• 6 Month Contract
• £700 (Outside IR35)

83zero are partnered with a leading London-based organisation currently undergoing a major digital and platform transformation programme.

We are looking for an experienced Technical Product Lead to help shape and drive the evolution of enterprise API and Data Platform capabilities within a complex, fast-moving environment.

This is not a traditional Product Owner role focused purely on delivery management. This position sits at the intersection of product strategy, platform engineering, architecture, and stakeholder engagement. The successful candidate will help define how the platform function operates whilst working closely with engineering teams to influence technical direction and platform adoption.

The Role

You will take ownership of the API and Data Platform roadmap, helping build scalable platform capabilities that support multiple business functions across the organisation. You will work closely with engineering, architecture, delivery, and senior business stakeholders to:

• Define platform product strategy and roadmap
• Build and manage a transparent product backlog
• Establish platform governance and prioritisation models
• Drive adoption of APIs and data services across the business
• Work closely with technical teams on feasibility, architecture, and delivery decisions
• Track platform usage, reliability, and adoption metrics
• Help embed a platform-as-a-product mindset across the organisation

Key Skills & Experience

• Strong experience leading technical platform products within enterprise environments
• Background working with APIs, integration platforms, or data platforms
• Experience with Azure technologies including Azure Functions, Logic Apps, APIM, or Data Factory
• Strong understanding of API design, integration patterns, and platform governance
• Comfortable working closely with architects and engineering teams on technical decision making
• Experience managing complex stakeholder environments and competing priorities
• Ability to translate business requirements into structured platform roadmaps and delivery plans
• Understanding of cloud, security, data governance, and enterprise architecture principles

Nice to Have

• Experience within financial services, insurance, or regulated environments
• Exposure to event-driven architectures or modern data platforms
• Understanding of platform adoption and developer experience best practices

This is an excellent opportunity to join a high-impact transformation programme where you will have genuine influence over how core platform capabilities evolve moving forward.
