We’re seeking a future team member for the role of Senior Vice President, POM Product Management (Product Owner – EMEA Fund Accounting) to join our EMEA Fund Accounting product team. This role is based in Wroclaw, Poland.

In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways: 

• Define and communicate a clear product vision aligned to EMEA fund accounting needs and client outcomes, ensuring capabilities enable accurate, timely, and controlled operations.
• Build and maintain a multi‑quarter roadmap balancing client priorities, regulatory requirements, operational efficiency, and risk controls; translate strategy into well-structured epics, features, and user stories with crisp acceptance criteria and measurable outcomes.
• Own and prioritize the backlog to maximize value; lead backlog refinement, sprint planning, and review ceremonies with Engineering and Operations; ensure stories meet “definition of ready” and increments meet “definition of done,” including testing and control requirements.
• Represent fund accounting processes (e.g., NAV calculation, pricing, corporate actions, reconciliation, financial reporting) in product decisions; incorporate regional considerations for EMEA structures and evolving regulatory expectations.
• Partner with upstream/downstream teams (data sourcing, pricing, custody, FX, tax, financial reporting) to ensure end‑to‑end straight-through processing (STP) and control coverage.
• Serve as the primary contact for Operations, Technology, Client Service, and Risk/Compliance stakeholders across EMEA; run demos, capture feedback, and drive change adoption and training for new capabilities; communicate release plans, milestones, and impacts at appropriate cadences.
• Coordinate release readiness (UAT, regression, production checklists, runbooks) with Technology and Operations; embed control requirements (auditability, reconciliations, entitlements, data quality checks) into product design.
• Track and improve performance using KPIs (e.g., NAV timeliness, break rates, cycle time, defect escape rate, adoption); identify and manage cross‑team dependencies; proactively surface risks, mitigation plans, and escalation paths.

To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following: 

• 6 + years of experience in product ownership or business/product analysis within financial services; 3+ years focused on fund accounting or asset servicing.
• Strong working knowledge of fund accounting processes (NAV, pricing, corporate actions, reconciliation, financial reporting) and EMEA market context.
• Proven success owning a backlog and delivering complex builds in an agile environment; ability to write high‑quality user stories and acceptance criteria; familiarity with agile tooling (e.g., Jira or similar).
• Comfort with data and systems integration concepts (APIs, reference/pricing data, reconciliation, reporting).
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and decision‑making skills; able to balance client, operations, technology, and risk perspectives.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, Technology, or related field; advanced degree or professional certifications (e.g., CSPO/PSPO) are a plus.
