• Serve as the primary liaison between engineering teams and operations, translating operational friction points into scalable automation solutions.
• Define data requirements for automation and partner closely with data analysts and engineers to identify and source the data needed to enable accurate and reliable task execution.

To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following:

• 8 years of experience in product management, data delivery, or technology leadership within financial services

• Product leader with a demonstrable history of delivering value to business and clients in agile environments
• Ability to work in fast-paced, client-driven environments with high expectations for data accuracy and performance.
• Exceptional leadership and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence across technical and business teams.
