## Job Description

The Opportunity

As the Product Owner you will create the strategy, determine the business goals, formulate scope and develop a roadmap for the implementation of the Salesforce customer relationship management (CRM) platform and other large-scale strategic MassMutual initiatives intended to transform how we deliver service to our advisors and customers for years ahead.

In this role, you will partner with all levels of leadership and cross-enterprise parties (e.g. Operational areas, MMLIS, ETX, Legal, Compliance, Human Resources, etc.) on the execution of the advisor and customer engagement strategy.
