• Analyze, rationalize, and validate business requirements to eliminate redundancy, simplify complexity, and align with enterprise data standards.
• Translate business needs into clear epics, features, and user stories with proper acceptance criteria.

Backlog Ownership & Delivery Support

• Own and maintain the product backlog, ensuring transparency, prioritization, and alignment with strategic objectives.
• Work closely with Agile delivery teams using both Scrum and Kanban methodologies to ensure clarity of scope and timely delivery.
• Facilitate grooming sessions, sprint planning, demos, and retrospectives to drive consistent execution.

• Oversee change management processes including impact assessments, communication plans, stakeholder alignment, and readiness activities.
• Partner with Technology teams to lead release management, including deployment planning, validation, and post‑release monitoring.
• Ensure traceability of requirements through development, testing, and deployment.

Stakeholder Engagement & Leadership

• Act as the primary liaison between business partners and delivery teams, ensuring effective communication of scope, risks, and design decisions.
• Indirectly lead cross‑functional teams to drive initiatives, resolve issues, and deliver measurable business value.
• Collaborate with mid‑level and senior managers to align on objectives and remove roadblocks.

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in Agile product ownership or product management (Scrum and Kanban).
• Demonstrated experience collecting and analyzing requirements for data, reporting, or financial systems.
• Ability to analyze and test data via SQL.
• Strong communication and storytelling skills with the ability to influence and gain alignment across stakeholders.
• Experience with data profiling, data lineage, and analytical/data flows.
• Understanding of financial services products — preferably Deposits.

Desired Qualifications:

• Experience developing roadmaps, OKRs, and KPIs.
• Highly skilled in simplifying complex data and business concepts for multiple audiences.
• Excellent critical thinking and problem‑solving abilities with a strong focus on customer and team member experience.
