This role is a contract opportunity with remote flexibility anywhere in the United States. This Product Owner will step into a highly visible initiative centered on financial data accuracy, business process clarity, and modernization of legacy system workflows. The ideal candidate brings a blend of Product Owner and Business Analyst capabilities, with the ability to quickly understand complex backend processes, translate ambiguity into actionable work, and partner closely with both technical teams and business stakeholders. This role will be focused on documenting current-state financial processes, supporting data cleanup and migration efforts, improving reporting reliability, and helping the organization transition critical workflows away from legacy platforms and into modern environments. The work is expected to be heavily data and process oriented, with significantly less emphasis on user interface or customer-facing product design.
