Responsibilities

• Define and evolve a product vision and outcome-oriented roadmap aligned with Client Platform strategy and the target operating model.
• Own business outcomes and value for Client Onboarding & Servicing capabilities, improving client experience and internal workflows while driving adoption.
• Establish product objectives, success measures, and decision principles that make priorities and trade-offs transparent.
• Translate business priorities into a sequenced roadmap focused on measurable outcomes; order the backlog and make capacity-allocation trade-offs within the assigned scope.
• Account for cross-product, platform, data, and operating-model implications, coordinating decisions that affect shared capabilities, journeys, or enterprise platforms.
• Decide whether requests should proceed, be deferred, reshaped, or declined, and explain the evidence and trade-offs behind those decisions.
• Partner with business stakeholders and technology partners to align capabilities with future-state workflows.
• Represent the product to business stakeholders and technology delivery teams, build alignment across Product Owners, and drive adoption, stakeholder engagement, and realization of business value.
• Maintain explicit cross-product handoffs, prevent duplication of capabilities owned elsewhere, and escalate unresolved decision-right questions.
• Own and maintain a healthy, prioritized, sufficiently refined product backlog that turns strategy and discovery findings into clear, well-scoped work ahead of planning.
• Lead product decision-making and participate in backlog refinement, release planning, and relevant delivery ceremonies with engineering, design, and delivery leads.
• Make timely delivery decisions, clarify requirements, and make scope and sequencing trade-offs as constraints or new information emerge.
• Identify dependencies, delivery risks, data constraints, and operating-model impacts early, and work with appropriate owners to resolve or escalate them.
• Evaluate product performance after launch, identify adoption barriers, and turn evidence into product decisions and prioritized improvements.
• Assess workflows for opportunities to simplify, standardize, redesign, automate, or enable work with appropriate technology, data, automation, and AI.
• Use available AI tools to prototype, test, and refine workflow improvements, involving technology specialists when scale, controls, or technical expertise are needed.
• Compare solution options based on expected value, user impact, feasibility, risk, controls, data readiness, total cost of ownership, and maintainability.
• Apply shared ownership rules for data, analytics, content, workflow automation, governance, and authoritative source information when shaping requirements.
• Exercise product judgment within agreed strategy, boundaries, governance, and decision rights; order the backlog, recommend roadmap changes, make delivery-level scope trade-offs, and accept or reject delivered work against agreed criteria.
• Provide affected stakeholders visibility into what is changing, when and why, and required readiness or adoption actions; coordinate with owners on launch readiness.
• Connect work across functions and remain accountable for product outcomes without assuming ownership of every downstream activity.
