As a Product Owner within our Financial Services Portfolio, you will work with our Financial Planning & Analysis and Global Finance teams where we aim to give our finance professionals modern tools that simplify their processes and enhance analytical insights. You will be responsible for partnering across the finance team to deliver a modernized global planning, forecasting and budgeting platform and developing and executing a vision for implementing this platform beyond our US organization.

You’ll also get to articulate and translate the overall strategy and tactics for your domain to drive outcomes and key KPIs tied directly to business objectives.
