Position Summary

The Product Manager for API & Identity owns the strategy and delivery for two interdependent platform capabilities: the API-as-a-product framework and identity & access management (IAM). You're accountable for how APIs are consumed and how access to them (and ENSEK systems) is managed — internally and externally — including for AI agents . In this role you are accountable for defining a consistent, scalable approach to how APIs are built, governed, and consumed — internally and externally. You work closely with engineering, commercial, and domain teams to ensure these platform investments unlock measurable value across the business.

Key Accountabilities & Responsibilities

• Own the strategy, vision and roadmap for both the API-as-a-product programme — engaging stakeholders across engineering, commercial, and customer teams to define, validate and iterate it continuously.

• Define and drive the roadmap for role-based access control (RBAC), OAuth/SSO, and audit logging capabilities.

• Ensure IAM scope expands to cover AI agents, with appropriate security and auditing controls.

• Partner with security and engineering teams to implement self-serve IAM/RBAC setup for APIs, AI agents, and customers.

• Define and drive a consistent framework for API definition and management across three tiers: internal domain APIs, cross-NSEC internal APIs, and external APIs for customers, brokers, and third parties.

• Make evidence-based prioritisation decisions, estimating effort and value of roadmap items using AI-powered estimation tools, and communicating trade-offs transparently with stakeholders.

• Define and track key product outcomes — implementing dashboards for real-time performance visibility and using data to drive continuous improvement.

• Build long-term stakeholder relationships, implementing communications strategies and influencing effectively to drive alignment and outcomes.

Key Outcomes

• A consistent, governed API framework adopted across internal and external consumers, with measurable improvement in API reliability and developer experience.

• elf-serve, audited identity and access management available to APIs, AI agents, and customers—with zero security incidents and 100% audit coverage.

• Roadmap delivered to agreed timelines, with clear evidence of value realised against investment.

• Defined and tracked KPIs for API areas, with regular data-driven reviews.

• Positive stakeholder feedback on communication, transparency and decision-making quality.

• Growing team confidence and capability as a result of your product leadership.

Skills, Knowledge, Experience & Qualifications

• Demonstrable experience owning and delivering a platform or infrastructure product end-to-end, ideally including API management or developer tooling or IAM.

• Understanding of identity and access management concepts (RBAC, OAuth, SSO, audit logging) sufficient to make credible product decisions alongside engineering and security team

• Demonstrated experience owning identity/access or security product work (API gateway IAM, SSO migrations, RBAC frameworks, or similar).

• Ability to make autonomous, data-informed product decisions and communicate them clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.

• Experience managing complex stakeholder relationships, including senior commercial partners.

• Ability to create and maintain a product roadmap tied to strategy and outcomes.
