Job Description
Technical Product Owner
Kansas, USA * Missouri, USA Req #4583
Tuesday, June 18, 2024

It starts with a mission, and our mission is to disrupt every small business owner's struggles.

Time is scarce, and decision making can be hard when visibility is limited. Today everything is spreadsheets with manual processes.

Our small business community deserves more. A single piece of data can change everything. Access to timely, relevant, and accurate insights to allow confident decision making; that is our dream for each small business owner.

2UniFi is designed to bring a complete financial platform to each small business's fingertips.

Join us as we build a new vision at a strong and dynamic company. Help us create the future of banking.

This type of position is ideal for someone looking to build a career in finance, banking, and technology. We will provide you training and coaching throughout your onboarding experience, as well as on the job. As you demonstrate success, there will be opportunities for advancement within our organization.

The duties of a Technical Product Owner require a high degree of specialized expertise and skill in maintaining established standards of quality and accuracy. Drive, determination and a self-disciplined approach to achieving results that meet these established criteria are necessary for successful job performance. The job environment is structured and job expectations are clear. While the pace of the work is faster than average, quality is never compromised. The focus of communication and organizational relationships is based on technical expertise. The work requires specialized technical problem solving and ingenuity while working within approved organizational systems and technology, and the demonstration of the values of integrity, quality and caution. New ideas and concepts are also important but will be quickly, yet carefully analyzed and tested before communication and adoption. If the job involves managing others, there is a need for someone who can exercise the necessary authority to assure policies and procedures are followed and time frames are met. At the same time, it will be necessary to give subordinates structured opportunity to develop their own expertise and capability for quality work to assure effective delegation and shared responsibility for work output. It is expected that coaching and training support for achieving effective delegation will be required. The position encompasses a defined span of control and opportunity for someone who engenders trust, demonstrates a sense of urgency and assures consistent achievement of quality standards. The work requires making decisions that support company guidelines authoritatively and quickly.

As a Technical Product Owner, you will collaborate with stakeholders to define the product vision and strategy, ensuring alignment with business goals and customer needs. You will work with stakeholders to prioritize features based on business value and technical feasibility. You will create and maintain a prioritized product backlog, ensuring that it is visible, transparent, and understood by the team. You will define user stories and acceptance criteria, working closely with the architecture and development teams to ensure a clear understanding of requirements. You will participate in agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, backlog refinement, and sprint review to ensure that the team is delivering value incrementally. You will identify, prioritize, and address technical debt to ensure the long-term sustainability and scalability of the product. You will balance new feature development with necessary technical improvements. You will ensure that the product meets quality standards by participating in testing activities and validating that the delivered features meet acceptance criteria.

  • follow policies and procedures,
