Product Manager

Overview

Job Purpose

We are seeking an experienced Product Manager to join our team. In this role, you will turn strategy, customer needs, and stakeholder goals into clear requirements the team can build — keeping delivery teams focused on the highest-value work and ensuring everyone shares the same understanding of scope, decisions, and priorities. You will own the detailed definition of what needs to be built, bridging business and customer needs with technical execution across one or more product areas. The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker who leverages data, strong relationships, and emerging AI capabilities to drive impactful outcomes and continuous improvement.

  • Translate business and customer needs into well-defined user stories and use cases, ensuring alignment with regulatory and operational standards.
  • Develop analysis artifacts including activity diagrams, user interface schematics, technical specifications, process flows, and API documentation.
  • Adhere to change-control procedures to ensure requirements changes are agreed upon by the release team and all stakeholders.
• Prioritize Work
  • Rank and manage the backlog based on value, risk, dependencies, team capacity, and readiness.
  • Assist in prioritizing and tracking requested system enhancements, ensuring the team is always focused on the highest-impact items.
  • Monitor product performance and adoption after release, using data-driven insights to iterate, improve functionality, and apply learnings to future work.
• Align Teams
  • Serve as the bridge between business stakeholders, customers, and technical teams — keeping everyone aligned on scope, priorities, and decisions.
  • Organize and facilitate requirements gathering sessions, reviews, and issue resolution involving multiple stakeholders and time zones.
  • Engage with clients and internal stakeholders to define business requirements, document pain points, and communicate project status.
  • Present product information, roadmap updates, and industry thought leadership to internal and external audiences as needed.
• Ensure Delivery Readiness
  • Verify that work meets expectations and support UAT, release notes, and operational preparation prior to deployment.
  • Collaborate with engineering, data, and architecture teams to design scalable system integrations and API-based solutions.
  • Ensure documentation and training materials are created to support internal users and external partners during onboarding and transitions.
• Monitor & Improve
  • Track product performance after release, provide support, and apply learnings to inform future product decisions and roadmap priorities.
  • Stay current on industry trends, regulatory changes, and emerging technologies — including AI — to inform product strategy and innovation.
