The ideal candidate brings a proactive mindset, strong ownership and the ability to drive interconnected work across multiple stakeholders.

What you'll do:

• Manage delivery of assigned digital features end to end, from requirements through release and post-launch.
• Support product discovery and the development of the product roadmap, helping validate opportunities, shape solution options and prioritize features based on client and business value.
• Partner with research and design teams to build a clear view of client needs and experience expectations, and apply those insights to requirements and prioritization.
• Translate business needs into requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria; maintain a prioritized backlog in partnership with the Product Owners.
• Coordinate solutions across business, architecture, design, engineering and operations teams, and resolve blockers.
• Track interconnected workstreams and dependencies; surface risks, issues and decisions early.
• Support release readiness, including test sign-off, operational readiness, and change and communications support.
• Support go-to-market activities in partnership with marketing, distribution and operations teams, including launch planning, client and field communications, and tracking adoption.
• Monitor feature performance against KPIs and feed insights back into the backlog.

Must-haves:

• 3+ years of experience in digital product management, product ownership or digital delivery, working on customer-facing web or mobile experiences.
• Hands-on Agile delivery experience: backlog management, user stories and acceptance criteria, sprint ceremonies, and tools such as Jira and Confluence.
• Proven ability to manage releases and dependencies across multiple teams at the same time.
• Technical fluency: understands system architecture and integrations, and can translate between technical and business language.
• AI fluency: practical experience using AI tools to speed up research, analysis, prototyping and documentation, and an understanding of how AI can improve client experiences.
• Experience in financial services or another regulated environment, particularly in the investments or wealth management space
• Clear written and verbal communication, including status reporting and escalating risks to senior stakeholders.
• Post-secondary degree in a related field of study, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
