- Work across product, engineering, and customer-facing teams to translate business priorities into clear product direction and executable plans; collaborate closely with engineering to define solutions that are scalable and consistent across the broader product ecosystem
- Maintain visibility into product priorities, customer commitments, and delivery risks; ensure the right context is available for prioritization and sound decision-making
- Lead prioritization and planning discussions; frame tradeoffs and challenge misalignment between planned work, customer needs, and execution
- Partner with sales, marketing, and solution teams to shape go-to-market plans; ensure product capabilities, positioning, and timing align with how institutions evaluate, buy, and adopt solutions
- Take ownership of outcomes across the full product lifecycle from concept through delivery and adoption; use data to make informed decisions that drive measurable results
Role Essentials
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience with proven experience in product management within a technology or SaaS environment, managing products across the full lifecycle from concept through delivery and adoption
- Demonstrated ability to operate in complex, cross-functional environments, working across product, engineering, and customer-facing teams to drive outcomes
- Ability to manage prioritization across competing needs, balancing customer impact, business objectives, and technical constraints; proven track record of bringing structure to ambiguous situations and ensuring follow-through
- Strong analytical thinking and sound decision-making skills with experience using data to inform product, business, or operational decisions
- Ability to influence and align stakeholders without direct authority; strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams at various levels
What We'd Like to See

- Experience designing or improving operational workflows in complex environments, particularly where processes are manual, fragmented, or span multiple systems
