This role will partner closely with business stakeholders, engineering, and operations teams to modernize back-office platforms and improve operational efficiency.

• Coordinate delivery across engineering, architecture, and business stakeholders.
• Track milestones, dependencies, risks, and delivery progress.
• Promote transparency and effective stakeholder communication throughout the product lifecycle.
• Identify practical opportunities where AI and automation tools can improve productivity, decision-making, and operational efficiency.
• Ensure solutions meet governance, audit, and operational control requirements.

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience as a Product Owner, Product Manager, or Senior Business Analyst within Financial Services.
• Strong experience supporting Back Office Operations, Controllers, Finance Operations, Treasury, or Investment Operations.
• Experience with cash reconciliation, position reconciliation, operational controls, controller workflows, or financial close processes.
• Experience building or enhancing corporate back-office platforms and operational systems.
• Strong understanding of operational risk, controls, reconciliation processes, and governance.
• Excellent stakeholder management and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Proven ability to manage product roadmaps, planning, prioritization, and execution.
• Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Familiarity with AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini) and understanding of where AI can improve operational workflows. Hands-on AI solution development is not required.
• Ability to work effectively with engineering teams and understand modern software delivery practices.

Nice to Have

• Experience with platforms such as Geneva, Arcesium, Investran, Kyriba, or similar fund accounting and operations systems.
• Experience working with fund administrators or investment operations teams.
• Background in treasury, controller organizations, finance transformation, or operations transformation.
• Experience with Agile product delivery.
• Exposure to workflow automation, cloud platforms, or modern enterprise applications.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate has experience leading products for finance or operations organizations, understands how controllers and back-office teams operate, and can translate business needs into scalable product solutions. They are comfortable working with AI-enabled tools and understand where AI can add value but are not required to have built AI products or machine learning solutions.
