The Opportunity
Our goal is to deliver a best-in-class, intelligent analytics solution that provides a simple and engaging experience for customers and delivers valuable insights across the Riskonnect platform. The Senior Product Manager, GRC Analytics is primarily responsible for designing requirements and outputs — datasets, reports, and dashboards — for Riskonnect’s GRC solutions, built on our Power BI and Microsoft Fabric analytics platform. Over time, the role will expand into other innovative data solutions, including AI- and machine learning-driven insights and other statistical techniques.
This role requires close collaboration with product managers, product owners, data engineering, and other internal and external product and technology experts.
The right candidate will be capable of blending the needs of customers and internal technical and business groups to create a platform roadmap and will work with the R&D teams to ensure smooth delivery. This person will have a demonstrable track record of telling a compelling story and providing actionable information using data visualization techniques.
