• steer decisions based on your detailed knowledge of clients’ needs, feedback, and analytics
• ensure compliance of the product with risk, security policies, and architecture and technology standards
• support audit requests/activities and be accountable that evidence for adherence/compliance is available and up-to-date
• in addition to your Product Owner responsibilities within the agile scrum team, we are looking for your product management expertise to:
• understand client and stakeholder needs through research, analysis, and hypothesis testing
• assess and understand the market and competitive landscape
• understand the end-to-end client journey and how your product solves pain points along that journey

• lead certain agile ceremonies
• foster strong working relationships with stakeholders and ensure stakeholder alignment
• develop launch plans and collaborate with stakeholders on communications, marketing, and training
