Lead customer research and product strategy for large financial projects, defining value, prioritizing work, directing web/app UI/UX, aligning stakeholders, and improving KPIs after release.
About this role
WealthNavi, Japan's leading robo-advisor, aims for a service about ten times its current size, so it is rebuilding the core system that runs its securities business in-house to handle much larger volumes. The Core System Planning role sits in the planning group that brings securities expertise (trade execution and balance management, tax processing, fund settlement, securities accounting, reports) to the development group.
The planner leads individual themes in the project from planning to execution, helps solve issues, examines specifications and writes and reviews design documents, derives system requirements from business needs, law and regulation, writes requirement and basic design documents, reviews documents written by others, and works alongside developers and QA, answering questions, revising specifications and reviewing test cases to improve quality.
Applicants need system development experience; years, industry and language do not matter, but they must have taken part hands-on in the development process. Experience in securities-industry system development, upstream design such as business design and requirements definition, and leading others to a goal are preferred.
