• Translate business problems, operational workflows, and user feedback into clear product requirements and user stories.

• Partner with UX, engineering, and data teams to prototype, test, and iterate on new features and workflows.

• Support discovery activities including workshops, stakeholder interviews, process mapping, and validation of user needs.

• Work closely with technical teams to understand system capabilities, integrations, APIs, and implementation trade-offs.

• Identify where AI, automation, and data-driven insights can strengthen financial forecasting, budgeting, and reporting workflows without adding risk or complexity.

• Define and track success metrics including adoption, efficiency, accuracy, and user satisfaction.

• Align stakeholders across operations, technology, and leadership teams to support product direction and rollout readiness.

• Support product launches, training, adoption, and change management activities.

• Experience with, or strong working comfort in, AI-enabled and agentic workflows (e.g. low-code/no-code agent-building tools, AI-assisted analysis), and the ability to identify where automation can strengthen financial decision-making while applying sound AI governance judgment, is expected.
