As a Product Owner at NMI, you will play a critical role in executing our product strategy and roadmap with our shared services. Initial focus being across two essential areas: billing systems and data infrastructure. You will manage the day-to-day execution of initiatives, facilitate agile ceremonies, and act as a bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders to ensure value delivery at scale.

At NMI, Product Owners are the driving force behind delivering products that truly meet customer needs and fuel business growth. In this role, you'll own the execution of our strategy and roadmap - leading agile ceremonies like backlog refinement, prioritization, triage, and release planning. You'll be hands-on with product launches, making sure internal teams are equipped and excited about new capabilities. We're looking for someone who brings a powerful mix of business insight and technical savvy, who sees the big picture but sweats the details to make it happen. If you love learning the ins and outs of your product, understanding your users deeply, and making smart, high-impact decisions, you'll thrive here.

We're passionate about creating products that deliver real value - and we're looking for someone who shares that same energy!
