The Role at a Glance Lincoln Financial Group is seeking a detail-oriented and delivery-focused Product Owner to join our AI Product & Delivery organization.

Reporting to the VP/AVP of AI Products, you will serve as the connective tissue between business process reimagination and technical delivery — writing clear user stories, managing sprint-level priorities, supporting model evaluations, and ensuring AI features meet quality, compliance, and user experience standards. This role is ideal for a practitioner who thrives in the details and is eager to grow their AI product career in a regulated financial services environment.

Coordinate UAT, QA, and launch readiness activities for AI feature releases, ensuring quality and compliance standards are met before go-live.

Support the AVP in managing timelines, dependencies, and risks across feature work streams.

Escalate potential compliance, bias, or safety concerns identified during model evaluation or feature review to the AVP and relevant risk partners.

Ensure AI feature documentation, testing evidence, and release artifacts meet Lincoln's internal governance and audit standards.

Collaborate with Trust & Safety, Legal, and Compliance teams as needed to support feature-level risk reviews.

Performance & Insights Define and track feature-level success metrics including adoption, task completion, model accuracy, and user satisfaction.

Analyze usage data, model performance logs, and user feedback to identify improvement opportunities and inform backlog prioritization.

Contribute to sprint-level reporting and help maintain product dashboards that surface key delivery and quality metrics.
