  • Manage day to day intake and triage; translate needs into epics, features, and user stories with clear acceptance criteria for review and prioritization.
  • Create and maintain artifacts that clearly communicate functional specifications, user stories, acceptance criteria, and wireframes/prototypes for template development, low‑code/process automation, and custom development as needed. 
  • Prioritize work based on value, risk, and effort; manage dependencies and capacity in partnership with delivery teams.
  • Coordinate creation and maintenance of platform templates and reusable components (e.g., SharePoint site/page templates, Workday configuration/business process templates, Amelio workflow templates)
  • Promote reuse and standards; maintain a curated library with ownership, versioning, documentation, and adoption guidance.
  • Partner with Software Development Product Owners when custom code or integrations are required to scope work and align timelines.
  • Lead cross‑functional delivery activities across internal, vendor, and contract resources to drive quality, timely results; escalate risks/decisions as needed.
  • Manage vendor relationships, including QBRs, renewals, SLAs/SOWs, and issue escalations. 
  • Coordinate vendor-driven updates, including roadmap monitoring, release analysis, configuration reviews, impact assessments, and cutover planning. 
  • Manage end to end stakeholder testing (regression, UAT, performance, access controls); collect evidence required for change approvals and audit. 
  • Prepare materials and route for change approvals; draft and publish release notes and communications; coordinate production rollout and post release validation with System Administration and vendors.
  • Collaborate with System Administration to capture configuration requirements and SLO/performance targets; monitor health dashboards and escalate capacity/stability risks. 
  • Partner with Security, Compliance, and Data Governance to ensure controls (access, privacy, retention, logging) are met; maintain documentation and coordinate audit requests.

Minimum Qualifications: 
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Information Systems, Computer Science, or a related field. 
  • Enterprise SaaS platforms and ecosystems (e.g., Workday, identity access management tools, Microsoft 365/SharePoint, workflow/orchestration tools such as Amelio or similar). 
  • Product management best practices, Agile/Lean methodologies, and strategic portfolio management. 
  • Change management, environment strategies, and advanced testing approaches. 
  • Security, privacy, and data governance basics (access control, records/retention, logging), and audit expectations. 

Preferred Qualifications: 
  • Backlog management, story writing, and acceptance criteria definition; wireframing/prototyping for templates and workflows.
