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.

Experience conducting and managing User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to ensure product quality and stakeholder satisfaction.
Effective communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
