Product Delivery

  • Conduct User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and/or coordinate UAT with lenders, internal Ops, and providers.
  • Create release notes, user guides and operational support documentation for product enhancements
  • Validate provider integration behaviors (ordering, responses, error handling).
  • Support delivery of OMS migration waves (config, testing, readiness).
  • Track rollout tasks, dependencies, and communicate risk early.

Product Support

  • Triage provider-related issues (latency, data mismatch, SLA breaches).
  • Reproduce and document defects for engineering.
  • Support Ops, Support, and Implementation teams with issue analysis and configuration help.

Required Experience & Skills

  • 1–3 years of experience in SaaS product work, business analysis/product ownership, provider integrations, fintech, or lending operations

  • Strong communication, documentation, and stakeholder management skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • Proficiency with Atlassian Jira for backlog management and cross-team coordination
  • Experience working on Agile product teams
  • Experience with vendor performance management, including order-level audit and issue resolution
  • Hands-on experience managing third-party provider relationships and integration requirements
  • Familiarity with billing workflows, reconciliation processes, and vendor invoicing models
