Serving as the voice of the customer, this role partners closely with business stakeholders, end users, data scientists, and product development teams to translate complex needs into clear features, model-driven capabilities, and user stories. This position operates in an outcome-driven environment and balances business value, customer impact, technical feasibility, and model performance.

• Lead stakeholder engagement and expectation management across business leaders, customers, and cross-functional delivery teams, including transparent communication of model capabilities, limitations, and trade-offs
• Partner with Scrum teams throughout sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives, adapting Agile delivery to accommodate research spikes, model training/fine-tuning cycles, and evaluation-driven workflows
• Drive incremental value delivery through experimentation, prototyping, and feedback loops; use data-informed decision-making to guide prioritization and roadmap adjustments
• Make timely decisions under uncertainty, balancing scope, schedule, resources, model performance, speed, and cost while removing blockers and resolving ambiguity
• Conduct or leverage market research, competitive benchmarking, and user feedback to inform product direction, including AI/ML and LLM capability trends
• Support internal communication and enablement through documentation, updates, and education that help teams and stakeholders understand AI functionality and responsible use
• Monitor product and model performance post-release (including drift and degradation) and lead continuous improvement using emerging AI and responsible AI best practices.

Required Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Computer Science, Information Systems, Liberal Arts, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• Typically 5+ years (minimum 3–5+ years) of experience as a Product Owner or similar role delivering products in Agile environments (Scrum/Kanban)
• 2+ years of experience in financial regulatory and/or compliance domains
• Experience delivering AI, machine learning, or data-driven products, including exposure to agentic AI development
• Working knowledge of the AI/ML product development lifecycle (data collection/labeling, training/fine-tuning, evaluation, deployment, monitoring)
• Solid technical literacy across APIs, cloud services, SDLC, and modern software architecture; proficiency with Agile tools such as Jira, Version One, Confluence
• Strong communication, collaboration, and negotiation skills, with demonstrated ability to align diverse stakeholders and global teams
• Understanding of responsible AI concepts (safety, fairness, bias mitigation, explainability, data privacy, and relevant regulatory considerations).

Preferred Experience

• Agile certification such as CSPO, SAFe PO/PM, or equivalent
• Knowledge of integration and enterprise architecture concepts (e.g., REST, SOAP, microservices)
• Experience with data-informed product management and basic familiarity with analytics tools and KPI definition
