- 4 + years of experience in product ownership or business/product analysis within financial services; 3+ years focused on fund accounting or asset servicing.
- Strong working knowledge of fund accounting processes (NAV, pricing, corporate actions, reconciliation, financial reporting) and US market context.
- Proven success owning a backlog and delivering complex builds in an agile environment; ability to write high‑quality user stories and acceptance criteria; familiarity with agile tooling (e.g., Jira or similar).
- Comfort with data and systems integration concepts (APIs, reference/pricing data, reconciliation, reporting).
- Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and decision‑making skills; able to balance client, operations, technology, and risk perspectives.
Nice To Haves
- Bachelor’s degree in business, Finance, Accounting, Technology, or related field; advanced degree or professional certifications are a plus.
Responsibilities
- Define and communicate a clear product vision aligned to accounting needs and client outcomes, ensuring capabilities enable accurate, timely, and controlled operations.
- Build and maintain a multi‑quarter roadmap balancing client priorities, regulatory requirements, operational efficiency, and risk controls; translate strategy into well-structured epics, features, and user stories with crisp acceptance criteria and measurable outcomes.
- Own and prioritize the backlog to maximize value; lead backlog refinement, sprint planning, and review ceremonies with Engineering and Operations; ensure stories meet “definition of ready” and increments meet “definition of done,” including testing and control requirements.
- Represent accounting processes (e.g., NAV calculation, pricing, corporate actions, reconciliation, financial reporting) in product decisions; incorporate regional considerations for US structures and evolving regulatory expectations.
- Partner with upstream/downstream teams (data sourcing, pricing, custody, FX, tax, financial reporting) to ensure end‑to-end straight-through processing (STP) and control coverage.
- Serve as the primary contact for Operations, Technology, Client Service, and Risk/Compliance stakeholders across the US; run demos, capture feedback, and drive change adoption and training for new capabilities; communicate release plans, milestones, and impacts at appropriate cadences.
- Coordinate release readiness (UAT, regression, production checklists, runbooks) with Technology and Operations; embed control requirements (auditability, reconciliations, entitlements, data quality checks) into product design.
- Track and improve performance using KPIs (e.g., NAV timeliness, break rates, cycle time, defect escape rate, adoption); identify and manage cross‑team dependencies; proactively surface risks, mitigation plans, and escalation paths.
