• Product ownership and vision - Define and communicate the multi‑year product vision and roadmap for contact centre initiatives (i.e. Contact Centre as a Service transformation; desktop modernization), aligned to client experience, sales goals, and operational efficiency. Translate strategy into clear features and user stories with acceptance criteria; manage and prioritize the backlog based on business value, risk, effort, and dependencies. Define client and agent experience agnostic of platform. Assess desired experience against chosen platform and make strategic trade‑offs.

• Delivery and execution - Lead agile ceremonies (backlog refinement, sprint planning, showcases) and partner with delivery teams to meet definition of ready/done. Support waterfall deliverables where appropriate (requirements documentation, stage‑gate reviews, test plans, release readiness). Coordinate end‑to‑end delivery and integrations across contact centre impacted platforms & stakeholders. Oversee user acceptance testing, production validation, and post‑release performance monitoring; manage defect triage and continuous improvement.

• Client and agent experience - Improve mapping current‑state workflows, identifying pain points, and designing optimized future‑state processes that reduce transfers, after‑call work, and rework. These efforts advance interaction deflection and containment by enhancing self‑service options, implementing guided workflows, improving knowledge search, and leveraging automation. Additionally, embedding frontline feedback loops—such as surveys, pilots, and agent labs—helps streamline agent tasks and positively impact employee survey results. On the sales enablement and performance front, optimizing workflows to surface next‑best actions, pre‑populate data, and reduce effort in sales and servicing is key. Experiments, including A/B tests and pilots, are run to improve sales conversion and productivity, with successful initiatives scaled to maximize impact.

Assess emerging capabilities & trends for feasibility, scalability, and business value.

You have knowledge of digital practices and principles to analyze and interpret complex concepts and apply these in creative ways.

Your practical knowledge of compliance, privacy, and risk in financial services, along with your commitment to accessibility and inclusive design, enables you to navigate sensitive and regulated environments.
