Job Summary
We are seeking a seasoned Product Owner with hands-on Oracle Financial Services Data Foundation Cloud Service (DFCS) implementation experience to support our banking client’s strategic finance data modernization initiative. This is a newly created role driven by the organization’s migration from Oracle FSDF to DFCS, and the team is specifically looking for DFCS expertise they do not currently have in-house.
The ideal candidate is highly technical and data-focused, comfortable owning a complex data platform product, and experienced guiding cloud data platform implementations within a financial institution.
This is a 6-month contract-to-hire role with long-term conversion intent.
Top Responsibilities:
- Own and drive the DFCS product vision, strategy, and roadmap, ensuring alignment with enterprise finance, risk, and regulatory objectives while prioritizing the backlog to deliver maximum business value.
- Serve as the primary voice of stakeholders and customers, proactively anticipating needs, making informed decisions, and removing blockers to enable continuous delivery.
- Lead backlog execution and delivery, including writing and refining user stories, defining acceptance criteria, and partnering closely with agile delivery teams.
- Collaborate with engineering, data, and delivery teams, fully participating in Agile ceremonies and ensuring transparent communication and progress reporting across one or more product workstreams.
- Influence across a matrixed environment, aligning senior stakeholders, business partners, and peer Product Owners around shared data dependencies, customer journeys, and strategic priorities.
Required Skills:
- Prior DFCS implementation experience at a financial institution (non-negotiable).
- Seasoned Product Owner with a strong technical and data background, including experience with data platforms, cloud migrations, and enterprise data foundations.
- Product Owner certification (Scrum.org or equivalent).
- Proven experience with Agile delivery, including user story writing, backlog management, Jira, and Agile ceremonies.
- Proven SQL skills, with the ability to read and validate logic, analyze data relationships, understand joins and transformations, and confidently challenge development teams.
Nice-to-Have Qualifications
- Experience with regulatory reporting environments (e.g., finance or banking regulations).
- Exposure to Snowflake Cloud Data Warehouse.
Heitmeyer Consulting is an equal opportunity employer, and we encourage all qualified candidates to apply. Qualified applicants will be considered without regard to minority status, gender, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law
