Senior Product Owner (AI Build & Delivery Pod - Financial Services)

We are seeking an experienced Product Owner to join a project for a leading European financial market infrastructure provider operating exchanges, securities services, and banking operations across Switzerland and Spain.

This role is the single accountable voice for an AI Build & Delivery pod. You will take a validated, build-ready AI prototype, including a quantified value case and guardrail clearance, and industrialize it into a production solution within weeks. You will own the backlog against the value case, define acceptance criteria for AI features with engineers, lead embedded business SMEs and senior stakeholders, and steer governance with Compliance, Risk, and Legal from sprint one through to a living-solution handover.

The position follows a flex-hybrid work model, with 3 days per week in the Warsaw office.

Responsibilities

• Own the handover of the build-ready pack with zero re-discovery, resolving gaps within days rather than re-litigating requirements.
• Own backlog and prioritization, using the quantified value case as the sole sorting function for every item.
• Define acceptance criteria for AI features with engineers, including eval sets, quality thresholds, guardrail behavior, and escalation paths.
• Run stakeholder and SME engagement so decisions return in days rather than committee cycles.
• Steer governance to production by engaging Compliance, Risk, and Legal continuously from sprint one.
• Prepare the living-solution handover to the Enablement team and the business, clarifying what changes and what it replaces.
• Run hypercare and iteration based on real usage data, deciding fix versus feature versus stop based on evidence.

Requirements

• Proven track record of shipping AI or data products to production, with named examples of delivered value and quality measurement.
• End-to-end product ownership experience in agile delivery, including senior stakeholder management.
• Business-case fluency and the ability to frame and defend outcomes in hours-freed and cost terms.
• Backlog expertise for AI products, treating evals, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop trade-offs as first-class backlog items.
• Hands-on daily use of AI tools for workflow tasks such as backlog analysis, stakeholder summaries, and draft specifications.
• Delivery experience in a regulated industry, with working knowledge of risk, compliance, and data-classification requirements.
• Strong English communication skills.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, agentic frameworks, vector databases, knowledge graphs, or MCP.
• Exposure to Python, Java Spring Boot, TypeScript/Angular, or Databricks/Apache Spark environments.
• Background in banking, insurance, or capital markets delivery.

We offer

• A team of technology specialists working on AI, cloud, and digital platform modernization.
• Supportive, agile, startup-like culture.
• Hybrid-by-design work and the opportunity to work remotely within Poland.
• Opportunity to work abroad for up to 60 days annually.
• Business-driven relocation opportunities.
• Career development programs.
• Thought leadership, mentoring, soft-skills, and well-being programs.
• Certifications in Anthropic, Gemini, GCP, Azure, and AWS.
• English classes.
• Stable pay.
• Participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan with a 15% discount.
• Benefits package including health insurance, multisport, and shopping vouchers.
• Referral bonuses up to $2,000.
• Offices with entertainment and relaxation zones, table tennis and football, free snacks, coffee, and more.
• Corporate, social, and well-being events.

Benefits listed above are available to employees only.

Contractor engagement is also possible. Terms of B2B cooperation agreements are agreed individually.

Only selected candidates will be contacted.
