Senior Associate, Product Management - Platform (CI/CD)

Senior Associate, Product Management – Platform (CI/CD) As the Senior Associate Product Manager you will be at the forefront of defining what Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) looks like for our cloud‑native bank. You will own the vision, strategy, and execution of the tools and processes that power our software delivery lifecycle, balancing developer autonomy with security, compliance, and rapid, safe deployment. What You’ll Do Own the Roadmap: Define and maintain a data‑driven roadmap for our CI/CD ecosystem, prioritizing investments in automation, testing frameworks, and deployment orchestration to reduce lead time for changes. Drive the Developer Experience: Conduct user research and feedback sessions with engineering teams to identify friction points, minimize cognitive load, and maximize developer productivity. Be Well Managed: Partner with Risk and Compliance teams to ensure audit requirements are met automatically, freeing developers to focus on building features. Obsess on Operational Excellence: Define and track North Star metrics for the platform, including DORA metrics (Deployment Frequency, Lead Time, Change Failure Rate, and MTTR). Stakeholder Collaboration: Serve as the bridge between Infrastructure/SRE teams and Product, communicating complex technical trade‑offs to non‑technical stakeholders and aligning platform goals with broader business objectives. Problem Solving & Insights: Use data to uncover potential single points of failure, advocate for architectural improvements, and stay ahead of industry trends in cloud delivery. We’re Looking For An Execution‑Oriented Manager: Thrive in the details of the product lifecycle—managing a backlog, writing crisp acceptance criteria, and helping a tech team clear hurdles. Technical Curiosity: Excited by high‑stakes horizontal work and eager to learn about distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and system resilience. An Advocate for Quality: Believe that a feature isn’t “done” until it is proven stable, scalable, and safe for customers. Why Join This Team Gain influence across the organization to scale deployment speed and improve the stability of the financial services we provide. Learn core product management skills and grow in four key areas: Human‑Centered Design, Business Focus, Technology‑Driven Development, and Transformational Leadership. Impact time‑to‑market and the quality of our platform at the intersection of DevOps practices and financial industry challenges. Growth Opportunities Human Centered: Collaborate with tech teams to build comprehensive acceptance criteria, break down business epics into user stories, and drive minimal‑viable‑product deliverables. Business Focused: Use hypothesis‑driven data assessment to ensure product value, prioritize feature roadmaps, and manage risk. Technology Driven: Work autonomously in an agile environment, develop features that leverage evolving technology, and collaborate with designers, data scientists, and experts. Transformational Leadership: Participate in horizontal forums, nurture relationships, articulate product roadmaps, and become a product matter expert. Basic Qualifications Bachelor’s degree or equivalent military experience. At least 1 year of product management experience or equivalent experience in product design, agile delivery, business analysis, data science, or software engineering. Preferred Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in computer science or engineering. 1+ years translating business strategy or analysis into consumer‑facing digital products. 1+ years working on core product platforms that power digital experiences. 1+ years of experience working with cross‑functional teams as a product owner in an agile development process.
