Project Owner

Key Responsibilities

1. Strategic Roadmap & Prioritization

 * Vision Ownership: Define the multi-year roadmap for the LOS, balancing new product launches (e.g., transitioning from Unsecured to Secured) with technical debt.

 * Backlog Grooming: Manage and prioritize a high-velocity product backlog to ensure the engineering team works on high-impact features.

 * Stakeholder Buy-in: Navigate conflicting requirements from Risk (who want more friction/checks) and Sales (who want one-click disbursements).

2. Technical Orchestration & Architecture

 * System Evolution: Lead the transition from monolithic LOS architectures to Microservices-based architectures.

 * Vendor Ecosystem: Evaluate and onboard third-party Fintech partners (Liveness checks, Account Aggregators, BRE engines) and manage the "Build vs. Buy" decision-making process.

 * Regulatory Compliance: Ensure the product journey is "Compliant by Design," incorporating RBI/Global regulatory mandates into the automated workflow.
