Product Owner
Fidelity TalentSource is your destination for discovering your next contract role at Fidelity Investments. We are currently sourcing for a Product Owner to work in a hybrid environment in Westlake, Texas or Merrimack, New Hampshire!
Fidelity Charitable is actively seeking an experienced digital leader to drive a key initiative modernizing the advisor GivingCentral application from Struts to Angular/Spring. This role will develop and implement the plan to rebuild each legacy page/flow, both front-end and back-end. This requires overseeing critical analysis work to define the as-is business processes and legacy logic to ensure each modernized flow maintains or improves existing functionality. This role will manage a large set of partners that have diverse interests. While this modernization effort was prioritized due to the EOL legacy platform, this role will also provide significant improvements to the advisor user experience by making skillful design decisions and seeing opportunities for minor enhancements not impacting scope or roadmap timeline.
The Team
Fidelity Charitable is the brand name for the Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund, an independent public charity, established in 1991 with the mission to further the American tradition of philanthropy by providing programs that make charitable giving simple and effective. Since 1991, Fidelity Charitable has helped donors support over 180,000 nonprofit organizations with more than $23 billion in grants.
The mission of Fidelity Charitable Services (FCS) is to be the premier provider of charitable solutions, offering innovative ways to make giving easy and satisfying for our customers. FCS offers the Fidelity Charitable Gift FundSM, the nation's largest donor-advised fund. Since 1991, the Gift Fund has introduced tens of thousands of donors to the benefits - and increased charitable impact - of using a donor-advised fund to meet their philanthropic goals.
