You will be expected to leverage your proven track record in product and project management, and your financial services expertise to deliver innovative products in a collaborative, complex and fast moving environment.

You'll be primarily accountable for:

  • Consulting with clients and internal stakeholders to identify and assess market needs, opportunities and risks in order to meet business objectives.

  • Conducting research and competitive industry analysis, and preparing business cases to support the development of new products.

  • Designing new product offerings through all stages of the product and project life cycle.

  • Facilitating client-facing, enterprise-wide implementation and delivery of new products.

  • Monitoring the effectiveness of new products to enable continuous improvement.

  • Working closely with agile development teams to provide business requirements, user stories and product guidance.

  • Establishing and sharing subject matter expertise in an assigned product line.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will have product management, project management or business analysis experience in the financial services industry. Experienced lenders in credit unions or banks interested in transition to a product management related role will be considered as well. We are ideally looking for:

  • 4-6 years of related experience in product and project management in financial services, credit unions or banks.

  • Experience working in a complex product development environment, preferably with Agile software methodology.

  • Business acumen, problem solving and decision making skills to identify, assess and resolve challenges and issues.

  • Ability to creatively and effectively assess risks and opportunities.

  • Research and analytical skills to assess complex industry trends and competitive landscape.

  • People leadership skills to work collaboratively and effectively in a cross-function environment and with multiple internal and external stakeholders.
