ACH Product Owner

About your role:

You will own product execution for Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments capabilities on the Finxact platform, from discovery through release and production optimization. You will work with engineering, operations, compliance, implementation and client-facing teams to deliver ACH features that support reliable processing, regulatory alignment and measurable client outcomes.

What you'll do:

• Own the ACH product backlog, feature priorities and release scope aligned to company goals, client needs and market demands.
• Define feature-level objectives and success metrics for ACH capabilities, including straight-through processing, exception rates, return rates and settlement timeliness.
• Develop requirements and acceptance criteria for ACH use cases, including origination, incoming processing, returns, Notifications of Change (NOCs), reversals and same-day ACH.
• Translate National Automated Clearing House Association (NACHA) rule updates and regulatory changes into actionable product requirements, controls and implementation plans.
• Lead cross-functional discovery and delivery with engineering, architecture, risk, compliance, operations and client-facing teams.
• Own ACH exception and decisioning experiences, including workflows for pay and return decisions, NOC handling and return file outcomes.
• Partner with Application Programming Interface (API) and platform teams to define ACH APIs, event flows and integration patterns with internal and external systems.
• Validate product increments through scenario-based testing and user acceptance, including edge cases across returns, NOCs and settlement windows.

Responsibilities listed are not intended to be all-inclusive and may be modified as necessary.

Experience you'll need to have:

• 6+ years of experience in product ownership, business analysis or product delivery within payments, banking, fintech or core processing environments.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with ACH payments, including origination, posting, exceptions, returns, NOCs and settlement operations.
• 3+ years of experience managing product backlogs, writing epics, features and user stories, and defining acceptance criteria for technology delivery teams.
• 3+ years of experience applying NACHA operating rules and governance expectations to ACH processing, controls and product requirements.
• Experience collaborating with compliance and risk stakeholders on ACH controls related to Regulation E (Reg E), Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) requirements, fraud considerations and operational risk.
• Experience using operational and product metrics to prioritize enhancements, investigate defects and improve product reliability.
• Bachelor’s Degree or higher in Business, Finance, Information Technology or a related field, or equivalent combination of education, related experience and/or military experience.

Experience that would be great to have:

• Experience with Finxact ACH concepts and configuration patterns, including network ACH controls and return or NOC behaviors.
• Familiarity with API-based product ecosystems and tools such as Postman for workflow validation.
• Understanding of Originating Depository Financial Institution (ODFI) and Receiving Depository Financial Institution (RDFI) roles, Standard Entry Class (SEC) codes, prenotes, same-day ACH constraints and settlement risk considerations.
• Experience supporting go-to-market readiness through internal enablement, implementation guidance and product documentation.
