About the Role

The Senior Product Owner, Transaction Posting System is a hands-on, technically fluent Product Owner who lives inside the sprint — grooming the backlog, writing stories, clarifying requirements in real time, partnering through development, driving UAT, and helping engineering resolve issues quickly. This role is the daily bridge between business stakeholders and engineering teams and will play a central role as team pivots toward an AI-Driven Development Life Cycle (AIDLC) operating model.

Responsibilities

Serve as the day-to-day voice of the business inside the scrum teams, ensuring every sprint delivers clear, correct, and valuable outcomes.
Own and continuously groom the product backlog, keeping it prioritized, refined, and at least 2 sprints ready for engineering.
Write clear, well-structured user stories, acceptance criteria, technical enablers, and definition-of-done that engineering teams can execute against without ambiguity.
Partner daily with engineering, QA, architecture, and SRE teams through sprint planning, backlog refinement, standups, demos, retrospectives, and release readiness reviews.
Serve as the go-to decision-maker for scope, requirement clarifications, and trade-offs during the sprint — available to unblock the team in real time.
Lead and coordinate User Acceptance Testing (UAT), including test planning, scenario design, coordination with business testers, defect triage, sign-off, and readiness for production release.
Triage defects and production issues, work with engineering to reproduce and resolve, prioritize fixes against roadmap work, and communicate status back to stakeholders.
Translate complex trading, clearing, settlement, and posting business flows into clear requirements and stories, ensuring engineering teams understand the "why" behind the "what".
Partner with business stakeholders, operations, downstream consumers, and upstream feeders to gather requirements, validate designs, walk through mockups/flows, and confirm outcomes.
Coordinate across the broader product group — a large, multi-team organization — to align on shared dependencies, sequencing, integration points, and cross-team stories.
Champion practical and responsible use of GitHub Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and other approved AI-enabled tools across the SDLC — story authoring, acceptance criteria generation, test case creation, documentation, defect analysis, and release notes — while validating outputs for accuracy and appropriateness.
Help lead the team's adoption of AIDLC (AI-Driven Development Life Cycle) practices, partnering with engineering to embed AI-enabled tooling into requirements, development, testing, and support workflows.
Maintain product documentation, decision logs, and knowledge artifacts in Confluence/SharePoint so the team, partners, and downstream consumers have a single source of truth.
Drive things to done — remove ambiguity, force decisions, escalate blockers, and hold the line on sprint commitments and quality.

Requirements

Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis without employer sponsorship now nor in the future.
6+ years of experience in product ownership, business analysis, application development, or related technology delivery roles.
Demonstrated experience leading UAT cycles — planning, coordinating business testers, triaging defects, and driving sign-off and release readiness.
Strong technology background — prior experience as a developer, engineer, architect, QA, or deeply technical BA/PO — with the ability to engage credibly in system design, APIs, data, and integrations.
Demonstrated business and domain knowledge of trading, brokerage operations, post-trade processing, transaction posting, clearing, or settlement.
Proven track record of driving stories from concept through production in a large, multi-team product organization.
Strong story-writing and acceptance-criteria discipline, backlog grooming rigor, and sprint execution ownership.
Experience partnering with engineering to triage and resolve defects and production issues.
Proficiency with Jira, Confluence, Rally, or equivalent Agile delivery tooling.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Teams, SharePoint, Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook.
