The role documents product value propositions, captures user needs, writes requirements and acceptance criteria, supports feature prioritization, coordinates adoption planning, and tracks execution success.
The role is accountable for moving approved strategy into execution by clarifying the work, validating user needs, shaping requirements, preparing prioritization inputs, partnering through design and build, coordinating adoption activities, and measuring progress against agreed outcomes.

• Validate requirements continuously as capabilities move from concept through build, launch, and adoption.
Roadmap Governance & Portfolio Alignment
• Support roadmap development by organizing demand, clarifying trade-offs, and preparing prioritization inputs.
• Coordinate roadmap inputs across product areas so shared platform capabilities are reflected in execution planning.
• Identify dependencies, sequencing risks, and reuse opportunities across assigned platform workstreams.
• Provide clear views of demand, commitments, risks, decisions needed, and upcoming roadmap choices.
• Create transparency on scope, deferrals, dependencies, capacity constraints, and execution status.
Architecture Partnership & Build Engagement
• Partner with engineering, architecture, data, and technical teams to document trade-offs, implementation constraints, and reuse opportunities.
• Work directly with delivery teams during solution design and build to clarify product intent, resolve requirement ambiguity, and support execution against user outcomes.
• Support integration of platform capabilities with decisioning workloads, including data, workflow, service, and consumption patterns.
• Prepare trade-off recommendations that balance product value, technical feasibility, speed, scalability, and enterprise platform principles.
• Maintain clear product documentation, decision inputs, handoffs, and delivery context across assigned workstreams.
Adoption, Outcomes & Cross-Functional Alignment
• Coordinate adoption planning, including target users, activation milestones, enablement needs, feedback loops, and success measures. Experience & Qualifications

Preferred Experience
• Experience in payments, fraud, identity, authentication, cybersecurity, risk management, financial crimes, scams, AI-enabled decisioning, or enterprise decision platforms.
• Experience translating product strategy into requirements, prioritization rationale, implementation context, and decision-ready trade-off materials.
• Familiarity with agile planning, roadmapping tools, product governance, and structured requirements management.
• Experience operating in a global enterprise environment with distributed stakeholders and competing product priorities.

• Direct collaboration with engineering, architecture, data, and technical teams during design and build.
• Adoption planning, enablement coordination, feedback loops, success metrics, and execution tracking.
