Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Private Securities Product Owner to drive the vision, strategy, and roadmap of our middle and back-office processing solutions for private assets. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of the private securities asset classes, including associated business processes and internal/vended technology capabilities, with a focus on designing, testing, and choosing optimal workflows. In close partnership with the Director of Private Assets Center of Excellence and the Director of Securities Controllership, the Product Owner will play a key role in ensuring the seamless integration of new tools and enhancements tied to the processing & administration of these investments. This newly created role is responsible for strategic change, liaising with both day-to-day operational business teams (i.e. Investment Operations and Controllership) as well as technology teams (i.e. Enterprise Technology), and managing priorities for private assets across functional areas. The Product Owner will be accountable for not only assessing trade-offs, but making and owning decisions intended to improve the private security asset classes at MassMutual.
The Team
The Private Securities Product Owner will join the Investment Operations Transformation team as part of a new, centralized Product Owner group. The Product Owner's responsibility extends across the lifecycle of the asset class through operations and accounting and the Product Owner team is expected to work in close partnership with the Investment Operations Center of Excellence, Investment Controllership, and Technology teams. The goal of this group is to build comprehensive expertise in MassMutual process and operations flow ensuring there is a consistent approach for treatment across asset classes. As a critical point of distinction, the Investment Operations Transformation team and the Product Owner will remain segregated from day to day "Business As Usual" (BAU) work.

  • Own business requirements definitions for private assets projects and initiatives, incorporating input from business users
  • Serve as the first line of defense in business UAT testing to free up capacity for business users
  • Maintain and sign off on documentation for key business processes and the asset class operating model. Related initiatives can range from small- to large-scale and can have far-reaching impact to processing workflows across the entire ecosystem for the entire asset-class
  • Ensure key business processes are understood by technology counterparts

Roadmap
  • Drive project planning, sizing, and delivery timelines for the project queue and backlog based on capability gaps, in close collaboration with the Corporate Functions PMO and Enterprise Technology project management resources
  • Represent the interests of the private assets process in the investment ecosystem transformation program by liaising with operational end users to gather requirements, by performing testing, and by incorporating user input in recommendations
  • Assess, own, and be accountable for recommending go-forward prioritization decisions in partnership with Investment Operations, Controllership, and Technology colleagues
  • Collaborate with other Product Owners to determine resourcing needs and project dependencies within and across products, articulating trade-offs to business users and senior/executive leadership
  • Rationalize requests for new tools, enhancements, or issue resolutions from operational teams, considering existing solutions and current projects, and escalate and monitor with appropriate vendor/external oversight teams as needed

Communication
  • Maximize the value of tech investments by driving change management, socialization, and adoption of tech strategies and tools.
  • Manage interactions between operational and technology teams, communicating business needs into technical requirements, and negotiating priorities with tech/data based on business needs.
  • Advocate for operational team requirements, escalate emerging trade-offs, and support decision-making by senior/executive leadership.
  • Communicate with all levels of Investment Operations and Controllership teams, partnering closely with the Director of Private Assets Center of Excellence and the Director of Securities Controllership as primary points of contact

Metrics
  • Establish KPIs and track application/platform adoption using tools and reports.
  • Track issues raised and their time to resolution.
  • Monitor the business impact of programs and initiatives to ensure targeted outcomes of strategic change are being realized.
