Product-minded AI Product Owner shaping fintech onboarding automation through discovery-to-launch, data-driven requirements, and cross-functional delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a product-minded professional with 4+ years of experience in fintech and regulated financial services, specializing in discovery-to-launch work streams. I focus on client onboarding workflows, translating user research and journey mapping into clear business requirements, user stories, and technical specifications.
I’ve consistently delivered measurable outcomes, including ~80% straight-through processing on a BOT automation initiative and a 70-percentage-point error rate reduction (from ~80% to ~10%) through scalable template standardization. I lead UAT planning and defect triage, manage sprint execution, and resolve cross-system data and compliance queries with <24-hour turnaround.
I’m comfortable partnering with engineering, architecture, compliance, QA, and operations—turning stakeholder needs (including FINRA/SEC constraints) into roadmaps, go-to-market rollout plans, and SOPs. I maintain real-time visibility through Power BI dashboards and work with senior, cross-regional stakeholders to ensure on-time, high-quality delivery.
