About the role

  • Senior Product Owner at NMI driving tactical delivery across Billing and Data platforms. Collaborating with teams to ensure successful product execution in fintech.

Responsibilities

  • Lead delivery for the Billing and Data teams by managing team backlogs, facilitating Agile ceremonies, and ensuring work is clearly defined, prioritized, and ready for engineering execution.
  • Author detailed feature epics and user stories with precise acceptance criteria that give engineering teams the clarity needed to deliver without ambiguity.
  • Conduct and manage User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to validate that releases meet functional requirements, quality standards, and platform integrity expectations — including writing and executing SQL queries directly against BigQuery to verify data accuracy and pipeline correctness.
  • Coordinate release planning, write detailed release notes, and manage internal rollout communications for both platforms.
  • Collaborate with peer Product Owners to manage cross-team dependencies and sequencing across shared initiatives.
  • Partner with Product Managers to deeply understand product strategy and vision, ensuring tactical execution is consistently aligned with business direction and stakeholder priorities.
  • Partner with Engineering Managers to align on resource capacity and incorporate technical guidance into backlog planning, sequencing, and delivery decisions.
  • Collaborate with the Program Manager to support cross-functional coordination, ensuring key features are delivered with the right stakeholder alignment and organizational visibility.
  • Define and validate Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) that incrementally deliver value while aligning with NMI's strategic goals.
  • Provide product training and enablement for customer-facing teams, support, and other internal stakeholders.
  • Maintain transparency by communicating upcoming work, progress, and timelines to stakeholders and executives.
  • Develop and sustain deep knowledge of NMI's five billing platforms: their architectures, business rules, interdependencies, and how they serve different merchant and partner segments.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for billing-related feature questions across engineering, finance, and operations stakeholders.
  • Partner with finance and cross-functional teams to ensure billing operations are compliant, auditable, and accurately integrated across key systems (e.g., payment processors, CRMs, ERP systems).
  • Translate complex billing requirements from cross-functional stakeholders into well-defined, executable user stories.
  • Identify and flag platform-level risks, technical debt, and consolidation opportunities in partnership with engineering leadership.
  • Develop and sustain deep knowledge of the Data team's ingestion pipelines, transformation layers, and data artifact delivery on GCP and BigQuery.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for data platform questions, pipeline scope, and data artifact requirements across analytics and reporting stakeholders.
  • Author and execute SQL queries against BigQuery as a core part of UAT — validating pipeline outputs, confirming transformation accuracy, and ensuring data meets acceptance criteria before releases go live.
  • Partner with data engineering to define and prioritize data models, views, and dashboards that meet stakeholder reporting needs.
  • Advocate for data governance, lineage, and best practices in scalability, usability, and privacy-compliant data handling.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience as a Product Owner or Technical Product Manager
  • Proven ability to become the go-to SME for the products and features you own — including technical depth, not just business context.
  • Strong understanding of cloud-based data platforms, pipelines, and tools (BigQuery, dbt, Airflow, etc.).
  • Ability to write and execute SQL queries against BigQuery as part of UAT validation — confirming pipeline outputs, transformation logic, and data accuracy meet acceptance criteria.
  • Skilled in Agile development frameworks and tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Figma).
  • Experience conducting and managing User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to ensure product quality and stakeholder satisfaction.
  • Effective communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience coordinating software release cycles, QA processes, and documentation.
  • Passion for understanding end users and translating insights into actionable product enhancements.
  • Experience with financial systems, billing platforms, or accounting modules in a SaaS or fintech environment (Nice to Have)
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (Google Cloud Platform preferred) (Nice to Have)
  • Experience in data governance or privacy-compliant data handling (GDPR, CCPA) (Nice to Have)
  • Technical background (CS degree or equivalent experience) is a plus (Nice to Have)

Benefits

  • Competitive salary + bonus
  • A remote first culture!
  • Flex PTO
  • Health, Dental and Vision Insurance
  • 13 Paid Holidays
  • Company volunteer days
