The Product Owner Role
We’re looking for a Product Owner to drive the development and improvement of our clients' products. This is an extremely varied role and will include (but is not limited to) the following activities:
* Develop and execute the product roadmap, ensuring alignment with the value stream OKRs.
* Conduct workshops and analysis activities to design and define appropriate delivery iterations – gather requirements, assess value, ensure work is prioritized and focused on delivering maximum value for our colleagues.
* Write clear and concise user stories, acceptance criteria, and product specifications.
* Prioritize and manage the product backlog, ensuring it is maintained and refined.
* Work with the Agile Delivery Lead/s (ADLs) to ensure there is a steady flow of work for the squad/s aligned to the product roadmap.
* Create and own dashboards to track metrics, utilizing the data to inform future backlog items that target waste and inefficiency.
* Be the first point of contact for the squad/s to answer any product-related questions, clarify requirements, and support the ADL to remove blockers.
* Act as the voice of the customer to ensure everyone understands the business value of the backlog items.
* Work with the ADL to coordinate and participate in all Agile ceremonies for the product – stand-ups, refinement, planning, and retrospectives.
* Provide feedback on the product roadmap, resolving risks, issues, and blockers raised by the squad/s – escalating to the Head of Product as needed.
* Report on actual vs. expected progress and any knock-on impact to the product roadmap.
* Manage key stakeholder relationships and communicate effectively to keep them informed.
* Monitor and analyze product performance, identifying areas for improvement and making data-driven decisions.
* Coordinate product launches, ensuring effective communication to internal customers and stakeholders.
* Stay up-to-date with industry best practices and trends in product management, technology, and user experience.
* Work with other members of the ITS Product Chapter to share knowledge, best practices, and develop as a team – as a Product Owner, you will coach and mentor Associate POs to support their career development.
* Actively participate in the wider product management community to aid continuous learning, innovation, best practice, and alignment with engineering teams.
Required Skills/Experience
* Prior experience in a product-related role or environment – working in Agile delivery teams, managing a backlog to ensure business value is prioritized, delivered, and embedded.
* An aptitude for customer-centric problem solving and challenging the status quo.
* Experience working with Agile collaboration (e.g. Jira, Confluence, etc.) and product management tools.
* Experience of writing business requirements that can be picked up by engineers and implemented.
* Detail-oriented with a focus on quality and delivering value to customers.
* Detailed understanding of Agile methodologies (Kanban, Lean, Scrum) and product management frameworks.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to effectively convey complex ideas to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
* Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment and adapt to changing priorities (dealing with any associated conflict due to competing priorities).
* Demonstrable analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to gather and interpret data to make informed decisions.
* Highly organized, with the ability to prioritize tasks and meet deadlines.
