As an AI-enabled Product Lead (Executive Director), you will lead an Area Product Group within the Global Banking Platform, accountable for the end-to-end delivery of core banking capabilities.

You will envision and define requirements by partnering with product owners and engineering teams from solution design through implementation, ensuring clarity, feasibility, and alignment to platform standards. You will maintain a strong focus on customer needs, quality, and scalability, driving solutions that are robust, reusable, and operationally sound.

You will serve as a functional and technical subject matter expert on platform capabilities, collaborating across Global Banking Platform Area Product Groups to deliver new platform features and shared capabilities. You will create and manage the Area Product Group roadmap and prioritize the backlog, balancing strategic initiatives, regulatory/controls needs, operational stability, and technical debt. You will recommend business priorities and advise partners on trade-offs, options, dependencies, and risks across solution approaches. You will represent stakeholders and act as the empowered day-to-day decision maker for scrum teams, answering questions, clarifying requirements, and unblocking delivery. You will inspect sprint outcomes and drive transparency, communicating progress, risks, and delivery forecasts to stakeholders, ensuring feedback loops translate into backlog updates and improved outcomes.

Consumer & Community Banking (CCB) Operations Product organization provides critical cross-line of business support across JPMC and serves as one of the largest product portfolios in CCB, delivering value to millions of customers and over 30,000 employees. As a product team member, your problem-solving skills will place you on the cutting edge of defining the vision, creating the strategy and building the roadmap to solutions that impact millions.
