Responsibilities

• Own Product Strategy & Roadmap: Set the multi-quarter vision for the dealer and F&I product portfolio, aligned with company strategy and market opportunity rather than just feature-level roadmaps. • Drive Prioritization & Trade-off Decisions: Make the call on what gets built across competing initiatives, balancing value, dependencies, risk, and strategic fit, and defend those decisions with data. • Own Competitive Intelligence & Market Positioning: Maintain a current, in-depth view of the automotive credit, compliance, and F&I technology market to translate competitor insights into roadmap decisions that extend 700Credit's market leadership. • Lead the Product Development Lifecycle: Manage feature development across new and existing product lines end to end, balancing dealer needs, compliance requirements, and market demand. • Serve as F&I Domain Expert: Act as the product authority on the dealership finance workflow, including credit pulls, prescreen and prequalification, compliance, identity verification, fraud, and lender connectivity. • Mentor & Advance the Product Org: Coach other Product Owners on backlog management, story writing, and agile execution while partnering with the Agile Transformation Office to improve sprint planning and delivery outcomes. • Manage the Product Backlog: Create, refine, and prioritize the backlog based on value, dependencies, and strategic goals tied to customer requirements. • Author Functional Requirements: Partner with Business, Development, and QA to produce detailed Functional Requirements Documents and clear, testable user stories. • Define & Track Success Metrics: Establish KPIs and OKRs upfront, then measure ROI, adoption rates, and business impact post-release using tools like PowerBI. • Lead Stakeholder & Executive Communication: Deliver data-driven presentations to Senior Management and manage expectations across F&I, product design, credit reporting, and external partners including lenders and credit bureaus. • Guide UI/UX Enhancements: Partner with the UI/UX Designer to ensure dealer and F&I facing workflows are usable and aligned to strategic design goals.
