Technical Product Owner

It starts with our culture ...

Common sense has never been common.

If it were, the world would be a different place. Things would run smoothly and on time. People would do what they say and say what they do. Everything would be fair, without all the small talk. And banks would only sell you what you need. When a banker looked at a client, they wouldn't just see a number, they'd see a dad or a mom or a graduate or a business owner. Our Bankers understand the complexities of people's lives and offer simple solutions.

That's the basics of Relationships. Fairness. Simplicity®

The duties of a Technical Product Owner require a high degree of specialized expertise and skill in maintaining established standards of quality and accuracy. Drive, determination and a self-disciplined approach to achieving results that meet these established criteria are necessary for successful job performance. The job environment is structured and job expectations are clear. While the pace of the work is faster than average, quality is never compromised. The focus of communication and organizational relationships is based on technical expertise. The work requires specialized technical problem solving and ingenuity while working within approved organizational systems and technology, and the demonstration of the values of integrity, quality and caution. New ideas and concepts are also important but will be quickly, yet carefully analyzed and tested before communication and adoption. If the job involves managing others, there is a need for someone who can exercise the necessary authority to assure policies and procedures are followed and time frames are met. At the same time, it will be necessary to give subordinates structured opportunity to develop their own expertise and capability for quality work to assure effective delegation and shared responsibility for work output. It is expected that coaching and training support for achieving effective delegation will be required. The position encompasses a defined span of control and opportunity for someone who engenders trust, demonstrates a sense of urgency and assures consistent achievement of quality standards. The work requires making decisions that support company guidelines authoritatively and quickly.

As a Technical Product Owner, you will collaborate with stakeholders to define the product vision and strategy, ensuring alignment with business goals and customer needs. You will work with stakeholders to prioritize features based on business value and technical feasibility. You will create and maintain a prioritized product backlog, ensuring that it is visible, transparent, and understood by the team. You will define user stories and acceptance criteria, working closely with the architecture and development teams to ensure a clear understanding of requirements. You will participate in agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, backlog refinement, and sprint review to ensure that the team is delivering value incrementally. You will identify, prioritize, and address technical debt to ensure the long-term sustainability and scalability of the product. You will balance new feature development with necessary technical improvements. You will ensure that the product meets quality standards by participating in testing activities and validating that the delivered features meet acceptance criteria.

Additionally, you will build relationships with stakeholders, partners, crew members, and peers. You will:

follow policies and procedures,
