Job Description

Product Managers at U.S. Bank are customer obsessed in driving product visioning, planning and development to deliver on our human + digital product strategy and staying one step ahead of evolving economic, technological and customer needs.

As the Learning & Community Portfolio Leader, you will lead the product strategy, roadmap and end-to-end experiences that enable employees and leaders to build capabilities, access learning, share knowledge and connect with communities across U.S. Bank.

You will partner closely with Learning and Talent leadership, HR&C, Technology, Operations, Digital, Data and Risk partners to translate workforce capability and community strategies into simple, scalable and intuitive employee and leader experiences and product capabilities.

You will be accountable for ensuring investments across the Learning & Community portfolio are prioritized based on employee and business outcomes, workforce capability needs, adoption and engagement, data integrity, operational efficiency, risk and long-term scalability.

As the Learning & Community Portfolio Leader, you will:

• Own the product vision, strategy and roadmap for the Learning & Community portfolio, connecting enterprise talent and workforce priorities to the HR&C product strategy and broader employee experience.
• Serve as the connective tissue between Learning and Talent, HR&C Product, Technology, Operations, Data, Digital and Risk, translating workforce capability needs and business priorities into an integrated product roadmap.
• Own the end-to-end learning and community product experience, making it easier for employees to discover, access and engage with relevant learning, knowledge, experts and communities throughout their career.
• Establish portfolio outcomes and Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and use employee insights, business needs, adoption, experience measures and data to prioritize investments, capabilities, features and epics.
• Own portfolio-level prioritization and trade-off decisions, creating transparency around investment, capacity, dependencies and sequencing across the Learning & Community ecosystem.
• Lead product discovery and continuous improvement using employee and leader research, journey insights, analytics and business needs to identify friction and opportunities to improve how employees learn, develop, connect and share knowledge.
• Partner with Learning and Talent subject-matter experts to translate learning strategies, capability priorities and development approaches into scalable product capabilities and experiences.
• Create an integrated experience across formal and informal learning, helping connect structured learning, learning in the flow of work, knowledge sharing and communities rather than treating them as isolated experiences.
• Drive simplification and integration across the Learning & Community technology ecosystem, identifying opportunities to reduce fragmentation, improve discovery, eliminate unnecessary employee effort and create consistent experiences.
• Shape the role of AI and emerging technologies within Learning & Community, identifying opportunities to improve personalization, discovery, content experiences and employee productivity while partnering with appropriate stakeholders on responsible use and governance.
• Manage the end-to-end product lifecycle, from strategy and discovery through design, development, deployment, adoption, measurement, optimization and modernization.
• Partner with Technology and architecture teams on the health of the Learning & Community technology ecosystem, balancing new capabilities with integration, reliability, scalability, modernization and technical debt.
• Use data and insights to understand whether products are producing meaningful outcomes, moving beyond measures of activity and consumption to understand experience, adoption and contribution toward workforce capability.
• Drive adoption and realization of business value, ensuring capabilities are not simply delivered but are discoverable, intuitive, used and producing measurable employee and business outcomes.
• Lead and develop Product Managers within the portfolio, creating clear product accountability and consistent product-management practices while strengthening product thinking across business and technology partners.
