Job description

As a Product Owner at NMI, you will play a critical role in executing our product strategy and roadmap with our shared services. Initial focus being across two essential areas: billing systems and data infrastructure. You will manage the day-to-day execution of initiatives, facilitate agile ceremonies, and act as a bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders to ensure value delivery at scale.

At NMI, Product Owners are the driving force behind delivering products that truly meet customer needs and fuel business growth. In this role, you’ll own the execution of our strategy and roadmap — leading agile ceremonies like backlog refinement, prioritization, triage, and release planning. You’ll be hands-on with product launches, making sure internal teams are equipped and excited about new capabilities. We’re looking for someone who brings a powerful mix of business insight and technical savvy, who sees the big picture but sweats the details to make it happen. If you love learning the ins and outs of your product, understanding your users deeply, and making smart, high-impact decisions, you’ll thrive here.

We’re passionate about creating products that deliver real value — and we’re looking for someone who shares that same energy!

• Conduct User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to validate that product releases meet functional requirements, quality standards, and maintain overall conceptual and functional integrity
• Collaborate with other Product Owners to align on cross-team dependencies and shared initiatives.
• Collaborate with the development team, Product Manager, and other Product Owners on release planning, including writing detailed release notes and managing internal rollout communications.
• Define and validate Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) that incrementally deliver value while aligning with NMI’s strategic goals.
• Provide product training and enablement for customer-facing teams, support, and other internal stakeholders.
• Maintain transparency by communicating upcoming work, progress, and timelines to stakeholders and executives.
• Gather and translate stakeholder requirements from cross functional stakeholders across technical & non technical departments.
• Collaborate with engineering to ensure solutions are scalable, auditable, and integrated with core systems (e.g., CRMs, payment processors).
• Write and execute SQL queries to validate pipeline outputs and support QA and UAT efforts.
• Partner with data engineering to build data artifacts (views, models, dashboards) that empower stakeholders across analytics and reporting use cases.
• Advocate for data governance, lineage, and best practices in scalability and usability.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in a Product Owner or Technical Product Manager role, ideally within fintech, SaaS, or data-centric environments.
• Strong understanding of cloud-based data platforms, pipelines, and tools (BigQuery, dbt, Airflow, etc.).
• Ability to write and troubleshoot SQL to perform data validation and support analytics tasks.
• Skilled in Agile development frameworks and tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Figma).
• Experience conducting and managing User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to ensure product quality and stakeholder satisfaction.
• Effective communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
