Unleash your expertise in product development and optimization by leveraging user research, analyzing metrics, and collaborating across one of the world’s most innovative financial organizations.
As a Senior Product Associate in Personalization & Customer Insights Team, you are the day-to-day execution lead for the Customer Intelligence Hub. You will own feature delivery from discovery through production, manage the product backlog across engineering teams, run experiments to validate ranking models and summary quality, and partner closely with Data Scientists on model evaluation — including LLM-as-a-Judge quality scoring and contextual bandit optimization. You are responsible for translating strategy into sprint-level delivery that ships measurable customer value.

The Customer Intelligence Hub is the personalized content generation layer — it takes what we know about a customer and generates what gets said to them and about them. But generation is only the starting point. The platform also discovers new moments that matter by mining customer data and behavioral patterns, proactively surfaces intelligence triggered by customer events (not just on-demand requests), predicts which insights will resonate before they reach a customer, and continuously learns from engagement signals to get sharper over time. Every generation emits natural language for humans and structured companion data for machines. Your consumers include bankers in branches, digital mobile and web surfaces, and more.
- Partners with the Product Manager to identify new product opportunities that reflect the needs of our customers and the market through user research and discovery
- Considers and plans for upstream and downstream implications of new product features on the overall product experience
- Supports the collection of user research, journey mapping, and market analysis to inform the strategic product roadmap and provide insight on potential product features that provide value to customers
- Analyzes, tracks, and evaluates product metrics including work to time, cost, and quality targets across the product development life cycle
- Writes the requirements, epics, and user stories to support product development
- Own sprint backlog end-to-end (epics, stories, refinement) and manage delivery across multiple engineering teams.
- Lead ranking/selection and summary-quality testing (hypotheses, A/B design, measurement) with Data Science/ML partners.
- Run a data-led pipeline to mine behavior, identify “moments that matter,” and ship ranked candidate insights every sprint.
- Define triggers (events, account changes, thresholds) to push pre-computed insights to channels ahead of customer need.
- Evolve a reusable generation platform; drive production hardening, compliance, and operational excellence with platform engineering.
- Enable self-service discovery, partner with business/marketing, and track KPIs (cycle time, engagement lift, model performance, companion-data adoption, trigger coverage).

- Data literacy: ability to read model metrics, interpret experiment results (A/B tests, statistical significance), and make prioritization decisions based on data
- Experience working with Data Scientists on the model lifecycle — design, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring
- Comfort with LLM-based products: prompt engineering concepts, quality evaluation methodologies, and output governance
- Clear, structured communicator with strong written and presentation skills; ability to translate technical complexity into stakeholder-ready narratives
- Proven ability to work across technical and non-technical teams — comfortable partnering with Data Scientists on model design and with marketing or product teams on use-case adoption
