Hi - I am a current PO of a mid-large size financial company. We have POs that report directly to the IT directors, as well as POs that report to business lines. I fall under the latter. Personally, I think POs have better support when they roll up to IT directors as there's a lot more support and understanding when issues arise. Business is less forgiving.
I would also note that roles reporting to the IT directors tend to have higher expectations of technical acumen than on the business side. Just make sure they actually want you to perform PO role only. It's very possible that they want you to do double duty as an engineer and a PO and could be why they want you to report to the director of engineering.
