As a Product Owner, you will be critical leader within the Global Credit Risk, Seller Risk and Collections (GCSC) Intelligence Automation team as we build the next generation data platform and BI tool suite to support risk and operations across PayPal products.

  • Serve as a liaison to the development team to explain business context and rationale for key features and components of our solutions.
  • Define roadmap of key features and components for the Intelligence Automation team, specific to a group of external product monitoring/analytics/reporting.
  • Ensure user stories align to features and epics, and are appropriately prioritised and groomed for intake by engineering and automation teams.
  • Develop and communicate the product vision and roadmap by gaining clear understanding of the product lifecycle for the solutions we support, as well as the strategic path ahead for external product development and risk reduction, which will enable you to inform the team on priorities and develop a feature roadmap.
  • Partner with Release Train Engineer(s) to develop releases and program increments (PIs). Lead PI planning and coordination by bringing to the table the vision, milestones and key objectives to achieve business value via our product delivery.
  • Work with System Architect/Engineering to understand Enabler work, so that we can jointly sync the Architectural Runway.

  • Continuously identify opportunities for improvement, growth and standardisation; be a steward of process efficiencies and scalability not only of our solutions, but of our ways of working.
