The role

We’re looking for a proactive, technically aware Senior Product Analyst to support one or both of Thermal IT’s Operational Technology (OT) value streams: OT Security and OT Private Networks.

This is a hybrid product analysis and delivery role. Alongside leading requirements, process and product analysis, you will help the Product Owner and technical team turn priorities into realistic delivery plans, maintain delivery momentum, manage dependencies and risks, and provide clear visibility of progress.

You will take a practical, outcome-focused approach, supporting work from initial demand and analysis through planning, testing, implementation and transition into operation. You will be comfortable working across OT, cyber security, engineering, suppliers, procurement and internal governance in a regulated and asset-intensive environment.

The balance of responsibility across the two value streams will be agreed according to business priority, delivery demand and team capacity. You will help establish consistent analysis and delivery practices while recognising the different products, stakeholders and operational contexts of each value stream
