Project overview

Senior Product Owner – Partner Business

Focus: Confidential Business, Data Protection, and Anti-Money Laundering

We are looking for an experienced personality at the interface between business and IT.

For a client request, we are looking for a Senior Product Owner who will drive the functional further development in the partner business and translate complex business and regulatory requirements into implementable IT solutions. The focus is on confidential business, the responsible handling of sensitive data, and the implementation of anti-money laundering requirements.

You combine in-depth business analysis with technological understanding, can bring together different interests, and take responsibility for clear priorities and viable business decisions.

Responsibilities

Take Product Ownership: Align product goals and functional priorities with relevant stakeholders, and build, maintain, and prioritize the product backlog based on business value, regulatory urgency, and dependencies.

Connect Business and IT: Act as the central functional interface between partner business, IT development, data protection, compliance, and anti-money laundering.

Requirements

Analyze business processes, moderate workshops, and translate functional and regulatory requirements into understandable business concepts, user stories, and verifiable acceptance criteria.

Consider Confidential Business: Define requirements for confidentiality, access and authorization concepts, and the processing of sensitive partner and business data together with the responsible departments.

Integrate Data Protection and Anti-Money Laundering into Implementation: Clarify functional requirements with responsible parties and ensure their consideration in processes, data flows, and system functions.

Accompany Implementation and Quality: Clarify questions from the development team, provide functional input for refinements and reviews, and support functional tests and acceptances based on agreed criteria.

Make Decisions Transparent: Address conflicting goals, risks, and dependencies early on, and document requirements and decisions comprehensibly.

The role is responsible for the functional product design and implementation; legal control and approval responsibilities remain with the respective functions.
