The opportunity
The Integrations Product Owner provides ownership and prioritization across the enterprise integrations landscape, ensuring that data movement and integration between systems, including the organization's cloud-based enterprise data platform, is aligned with business value, enterprise architecture, and institutional priorities.

- Define integration requirements in partnership with business and technical stakeholders.
- Sequence and prioritize integration work based on business value, downstream consumption needs, technical dependencies, and platform capacity.
- Work cross-functionally with engineering and enterprise architecture to evaluate integration scope, pattern selection, and trade-offs, driving toward consensus and shared buy-in rather than acting as sole authority.
- Partner with architecture and governance teams to help ensure integration patterns are applied where they drive clear business or latency value, rather than by default, and to keep integrations aligned with data governance and security standards.
- Coordinate across engineering, architecture, AI/ML, and business teams to ensure delivery clarity and alignment.
- Translate business needs into actionable, well-defined business requirements for engineering teams.
- Partner with business stakeholders to understand current and evolving needs, and coordinate the onboarding of new software or systems into the integrations landscape in partnership with the engineering group.
- Establish and maintain visibility into integration demand, progress, and delivery outcomes.
- Identify risks, dependencies, and gaps in integration capability and work with the relevant teams to drive resolution.
- Build understanding of how AI/ML capabilities consume and depend on integrated data, and factor those needs into integration prioritization and design conversations.
- Uses approved Artificial Intelligence tools and emerging technologies responsibly in alignment with SNHU guidance as part of regular role responsibilities.
