Jeff Slinger, Product Manager
Jeff Slinger has worked in product management for 8 years within the retail space at ATB. Starting as a summer student, he progressed through his product career path to where he currently is, acting as lead PM on ATB’s Account & Card management portfolio.He enjoys the creative nature of product management - taking an idea driven by user data or feedback and working cross-functionally with different teams across ATB (product ops, design, tech, risk & compliance, and marketing) to deliver features and solutions that intuitively work for our users and make their lives easier.
Over the last year and a half, they have had a major focus on the self-serve debit card space and have been able to introduce several features that have been received incredibly well by our users. This has culminated in a significant reduction to call volumes in feature areas (saving ATB money) while also putting self-serve card management capabilities in a user's hands.
In his spare time, he enjoys golfing casually as well as in tournament competitions. Ask anyone he works with, and they’ll tell you his favourite food group is pizza.
