Product Manager

Roles & Responsibilities

• As we look at bringing on additional PM resources to augment teams working on TA Modernization efforts, here's the general shape of what we'd be looking for. The intent is to give the contractor a discrete, well-scoped body of work (a capability or workstream) to own end-to-end alongside a delivery team, not to have them float across the program pulling the next story off a shared backlog.
• The contractor would act as the day-to-day PM for that scope, embedded with the team and plugged into program ceremonies, under the direction of the relevant Sr PM Lead.
• Core Responsibilities:
• Asking questions of business SMEs, architects, and upstream/downstream partners to gather requirements.
• Writing user stories and GWT acceptance criteria; running backlog refinement, sprint planning, and POAT.
• Cross-team integration coordination (contract alignment, sequencing, dependencies).
• Communicating with stakeholders, updating roadmaps, and preparing program artifacts (status slides, etc.).
• Supporting program activities as needed: defect triage, mock events, Production parallel testing (EPP Ignite/Amplify), consumer/producer check-ins, table tops, training materials, RUN team onboarding, and production readiness.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of PM/PO experience in a scaled agile environment (preferred).
• Comfort with data-, API-, or file-centric work — able to reason about schemas, file layouts, and integration patterns without needing engineering to translate.
• Track record of coordinating cross-team dependencies in a modernization or re-platforming program.
• Financial services / transfer agency / mutual fund domain background strongly preferred (NSCC, FundServ, DTCC exposure a plus).
• Self-directed — can absorb context on an in-flight program and start adding value within 2–3 sprints.
• Strong communicator who flags risks early and keeps dependencies from going stale.
• Low-ego and collaborative — partners well with an already-established program team.
