Position Overview:

The position involves partnering with business stakeholders to establish a clear and ambitious product vision, which is then effectively communicated to leadership and delivery teams. The individual will serve as the primary business point of contact for day-to-day execution. A "business process first" approach is essential, requiring an understanding of current and future-state processes before devising solutions. This role involves decomposing processes into capabilities and functional components to support process reengineering and requirements definition. It is important to review, refine, and prioritize features and user stories to ensure they align with the product vision and desired outcomes. Continuous improvement of the backlog with the team is necessary, ensuring that items are clearly defined, estimated, and prioritized. The position requires championing customer-driven design by incorporating user pain points, usability findings, and market/industry insights. The individual will own the product end-to-end with a strong decision-making mandate that aligns with executive direction. Facilitating cross-functional collaboration across UX, Change Management, Development, Architecture, Data, and other horizontal teams is crucial to delivering and rolling out new capabilities. Progress, value, risks, and trade-offs must be communicated to stakeholders at multiple levels. Participation in or leadership of activities supporting development and deployment, such as process redesign, Day 1 readiness, risk and controls documentation, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT), is expected. Additionally, documenting risk and controls, including policies, procedures, process flows, and risk and control matrices, is required.
