IT Product Owner

We are looking for a IT Product Owner to take responsibility for the technical delivery of our Customer Lifecycle Management (CLM), Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) systems at the bank. Business requirements for these systems come from several business and compliance units, each covering different topics. Your role is to consolidate and analyze these requirements and design how best to implement them within the bank’s existing system ecosystem, while preserving system integrity, security and long-term sustainability.

Every day, you’ll be #closer and:

• Receive and aggregate business requirements from various stakeholders (Compliance, Risk Management, Customer Service, business lines, etc.), identifying overlaps, dependencies and conflicts
• Design how requirements are best implemented across the existing system landscape: which system, in what way and with which integrations, avoiding duplicate solutions and unnecessary technical debt
• Prepare technical solution proposals, evaluating alternatives, scope, risks and impact on other systems
• Manage the technical backlog, plan releases and align priorities with requirement owners
• Be responsible for architectural consistency, integrations (API, ESB, event-driven), data flows and data quality
• Coordinate work with developers, architects, testers, DevOps engineers and external vendors
• Ensure proper testing, production release and change management processes
• Monitor system performance, incidents and security; initiate root cause analysis and improvements
• Participate in evaluating upgrades, migrations and vendor solutions
• Contribute to automation initiatives that reduce manual work in KYC and AML processes
• Prepare technical documentation and report on system status to management.

• Higher education in computer science, engineering or a related field
• At least 3–5 years of experience as a system owner, technical product owner, systems analyst, architect or in a similar role, preferably in the financial sector
• Strong technical skills: knowledge of integration architecture (REST/SOAP APIs, ESB, message queues), data models and SQL
• Ability to analyze and consolidate requirements from multiple parties and translate them into coherent technical solutions
• Experience with agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and tools (Jira, Azure DevOps, Confluence)
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills: able to clearly justify technical decisions and negotiate priorities
• Analytical and systems thinking
• Proficiency in Lithuanian and English (spoken and written)
