Job Details
About the role Reporting to our Ways of Working Manager, as Product Owner you’ll help bring our strategy to life by bringing clarity to what it is we need to do and how best to do it. Loudly and proudly the voice of our customers, you’ll lead a squad to shape the product or solution vision, define requirements, and ensure what we deliver is bang-on. Day by day you’ll make critical decisions, prioritise and define user stories, and inspire our squads to deliver value to our customers by connecting our daily work to our strategy.
About you We’re on a journey with our ways of working, so while we’re looking for epic Agile experience, it’s important you understand we’re not fully there. You’ll be across multiple strands of work within the squad, so prioritisation and communication skills will be key. You’ll be working with subject matter experts but need to have broad oversight to be able to steer things in the right direction and push back when required – there’ll be some tricky conversations among the many fun ones, some resetting of expectations, and a lot of translation between the code-focused technical folk and the strategy-focused business folk. Experience working with a distributed team across multiple locations would be a big tick, as would problem-solving and critical thinking abilities. To really hum in this role, you’ll need an analytical mindset with the ability to use data and feedback to drive product decisions, but more importantly: EQ. You’re the kind of person others look to as a natural leader, energetic and authentic with a high degree of integrity, work ethic, and the pizzazz to make work fun.
Benefits We support our people to work how, where and when works the best. To get the most out of this role, there’s a real advantage to being in or near Wellington, but it’s important to note we’re big on flexible working and you can make your hours work for you.
