We're seeking a future team member for the role of Senior Vice President, POM Product Management to join our Fund & Investor Solutions product team. This is a highly strategic Product Owner role that leads development of core accounting for Asset Owners within Fund Services, provides enhanced functionality and co-innovation across platforms, and delivers advanced features with strategic partners to meet the evolving needs of Asset Owners. This role is located in Lake Mary, FL or Pittsburgh, PA. In this role, you'll make an impact in the following ways: Deliver and enhance asset owner accounting solutions within Fund and Investor Services. Focus on execution, delivery, and backlog management, ensuring that agreed product features and enhancements are delivered effectively and align to defined priorities, regulatory requirements, and the Platforms Operating Model (POM). Work under the direction of Product Leads and collaborate closely with technology, operations, and client teams to translate requirements into actionable delivery items that support consistent, high quality product outcomes. Define and communicate a clear product vision aligned to institutional accounting needs and client outcomes, ensuring capabilities enable accurate, timely, and controlled operations. Build and maintain a multi-quarter roadmap balancing client priorities, regulatory requirements, operational efficiency, and risk controls. Translate strategy into features, well-structured epics, and user stories with crisp acceptance criteria and measurable outcomes. Own and prioritize the backlog to maximize value; lead backlog refinement, sprint planning, and review ceremonies with Engineering and Operations; ensure stories meet "definition of ready" and increments meet "definition of done," including testing and control requirements. Represent institutional accounting processes (e.g., NAV calculation, pricing, corporate actions, reconciliation) in product decisions; incorporate regional considerations and evolving regulatory expectations. Partner with upstream/downstream teams (data, pricing, custody, FX, tax, financial reporting) to ensure end-to-end straight-through processing (STP) and control coverage. Serve as a primary contact for Operations, Technology, Client Service, and Risk/Compliance stakeholders; run demos, capture feedback, and drive change adoption and training for new capabilities; communicate release plans, milestones, and impacts at appropriate cadences. Coordinate release readiness (UAT, regression, production checklists, runbooks) with Technology and Operations; embed control requirements (auditability, reconciliations, entitlements, data quality checks) into product design. Track and improve performance using KPIs (e.g., NAV timeliness, break rates, cycle time, defect escape rate, adoption); identify and manage cross team dependencies; proactively surface risks, mitigation plans, and escalation paths. To be successful in this role, we're seeking the following: Bachelor's degree in business, Finance, Accounting, Technology, or related field; advanced degree or professional certifications are a plus. 5 or more years of experience in product ownership or business/product analysis within financial services; 3 or more years focused on fund accounting or asset servicing.

Proven success owning a backlog and delivering complex builds in an agile environment; ability to write high quality user stories and acceptance criteria; familiarity with agile tooling (e.g., Jira or similar). Comfort with data and systems integration concepts (APIs, reference/pricing data, reconciliation, reporting). Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and decision-making skills; able to balance client, operations, technology, and risk perspectives.
