Role Overview:
As a Product Owner, you’ll turn product vision and strategy into the features, priorities and day-to-day decisions that enable a team to deliver meaningful customer and business value.
You’ll translate customer needs into a clear feature roadmap and actionable backlog, define user stories and acceptance criteria, and prioritize work across competing business, customer and delivery needs. You’ll serve as a critical bridge between business stakeholders and development teams, coordinating dependencies, resolving issues and driving features from definition through production and release.
This is a role for someone who can connect the big picture to the details required to deliver it—bringing clarity to what the team should build and why, making thoughtful prioritization and trade-off decisions, and staying accountable for product quality, team-level outcomes and continuous improvement.
Protection-Powered Growth is New York Life’s planning approach for helping households build financial security, with protection as the foundation for long-term growth. Within the Field Experience value stream, you’ll help bring it to life by building the next-generation financial planning ecosystem that agents and advisors use to guide clients through the full planning conversation, from understanding a household’s needs to building, delivering and revisiting their plan.
Working under the direction of the Product Manager, Protection-Powered Growth Planning, you’ll translate the broader product direction into team-level delivery priorities for what agents, advisors and clients see and use: planning features, agent and advisor workflows, practical usability and readiness for adoption. You’ll partner closely with a peer Product Owner focused on the data, calculations and integrations that power the planning ecosystem.
What you'll do:
- Shape user-facing planning features; translate the needs of agents, advisors and planning partners into features, and validate workflows and acceptance criteria with Experience and Design and field stakeholders
- Drive testing, readiness and adoption; coordinate user testing, release readiness and feedback with planning SMEs, Distribution and Field Learning and Development to improve usability and product outcomes
- Represent the agent and household experience across the planning journey; ensure features support the full Protection-Powered Growth conversation from discovery through plan delivery and ongoing review
- Translate product vision into the backlog; develop user stories and acceptance criteria aligned to PM epics and customer needs
- Prioritize and sequence product features; align team backlog requirements to AI-driven insights, business, and customer needs
- Break down data requirements; ensure timely and quality delivery of product functionality leveraging AI and automation tools
- Manage the team-level backlog and roadmap; oversee bug fixes, maintenance, and product quality accountability
- Deliver features from creation to production; ensure organizational and go-to-market readiness at release
- Coordinate dependencies; Identify, manage and resolve team-level and cross-team dependencies
- Collaborate with the PM; prioritize and implement process improvement opportunities
- Collaborate with data governance SMEs; meet data standards across applications
- Define competencies and deliver on team OKRs; support team member development and track progress to stakeholders
What you'll bring:
- 6+ years of experience in product management, product ownership, business analysis or related delivery roles, including at least 3 years as a Product Owner or Product Manager in an Agile environment (SAFe preferred).
- Experience delivering field-facing or advisor-facing digital products, with the ability to turn complex financial planning workflows into clear, usable features.
- Experience conducting or partnering on user research and usability testing with agents, advisors or other field users.
- Experience translating a broader product vision and strategy into a feature roadmap, prioritized backlog and actionable work for a delivery team.
- Strong product backlog management and sprint-planning experience across the full release lifecycle, including user stories, acceptance criteria, backlog refinement and release planning.
- Experience driving features from definition through production and release, with strong attention to product quality and organizational and go-to-market readiness.
- Strong understanding of customer journeys, customer experience and usability principles, with the ability to incorporate customer and stakeholder feedback into product decisions.
- Demonstrated ability to identify, manage and resolve team-level and cross-team dependencies and build productive relationships across business, technology, Agile and platform teams.
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, including experience serving as a bridge between business stakeholders and development teams.
- Experience defining, tracking and communicating team-level OKRs and using performance measures to improve delivery and product outcomes.
- Strong Agile execution skills and hands-on experience with Jira or equivalent tools for backlog management, sprint tracking and release management.
- Digital, data and AI fluency, including the ability to translate data and technical requirements into actionable work and use AI-enabled tools and automation to improve team delivery.
- Strong knowledge of insurance or financial-services business processes and customer needs, or demonstrated ability to quickly build domain expertise in a regulated industry.
- A working style grounded in ownership, accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement.
