The Role:
At DailyPay, we are seeking a dynamic and technically skilled Product Owner to deliver the roadmap and enhancements for the payroll system integrations for DailyPay's data exchange. The Data Exchange is the backbone of DailyPay's B2B2C offering that processes over 100 million payments in the past year and processed over $25 billion in the past year.
As an integral part of our data exchange ecosystem, you will manage and enhance the flow of data and interactions between our systems and external partners. The work you do will power the seamless delivery of critical services and we are looking for someone to ensure that integrations with our trusted partners run smoothly, efficiently, and securely. You will be called upon to continually develop new solutions, be the subject matter expert for data exchange processes and, most importantly, you'll be responsible for their continued success.
You'll be the expert on all things related to system integrations, working closely with cross-functional teams to drive technical solutions, manage dependencies, and ensure our systems talk to each other in the most efficient way possible. You'll also be in charge of productizing integration features, identifying key bottlenecks, and developing processes that drive the integrations forward.
You're a hands on problem-solver, are deeply passionate about Product, and you're at your best when moving a project from ambiguity to clarity. You're equally comfortable talking tech with engineers, process with implementation team, as well as pitching in on day-to-day efforts across the business. Equally important, you can manage the expectations of senior staff and the competing demands and opinions from across the organization. You pay attention to people, have a strong sense of purpose and integrity, deep emotional intelligence, and just want to get things done.
If this opportunity excites you, we encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the qualifications.
How You Will Make an Impact:

• Be the voice of the users and support the data exchange infrastructure by understanding the problems and challenges facing internal stakeholders and, most importantly, our users to inform product solutions

• Contribute to internal product roadmap and manage your product's backlog
• Act as a key point of contact between business leaders, product managers, engineers, and external partners, managing competing priorities, aligning requirements, and maintaining clear communication across all parties

What You Bring to The Team:

• 3-5 years of Product Owner experience, with a specialized focus on system integrations, API development, or related technical domains
• Strong understanding of system architecture, APIs, data flows, and integrations. Ability to work with engineers to understand technical challenges and opportunities
