Technical Product Owner (AWS Migration / Credit Risk) - Columbus, OH (Hybrid)

We are seeking a highly technical Product Owner to lead the modernization of core financial systems, specifically focused on new account processing and credit risk platforms.

• Partner closely with engineering teams to define and refine technical requirements, user stories, and backlog priorities
• Lead and support Scrum teams, ensuring Agile best practices and delivery consistency
• Manage and maintain JIRA boards, ensuring all work is clearly defined, tracked, and aligned to delivery goals
• Translate complex technical initiatives into actionable backlog items for engineering teams
• Collaborate with architects and developers on cloud migration strategies, system integrations, and modernization efforts
• Ensure alignment between business objectives (credit risk, account opening) and technical execution
• Drive end-to-end delivery accountability from planning through production release, * Focused on modernizing core financial systems, not just maintaining them
• Highly technical and execution-driven - ideal for someone who prefers working closely with engineering teams
• Opportunity to influence cloud strategy and architecture decisions
• Direct impact on critical customer-facing systems (account opening, risk evaluation)
