About the position

Our client is currently seeking a Product Owner-Hybrid to join the Data and Insights team. In this role, you will be responsible for executing the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for products within the Data and Insights capability area. Your contributions to the product vision and strategy are essential as you manage the roadmap and customer engagements, allowing you to shape new features and help customers maximize the value of existing releases. Reporting to the Senior Product Manager for Data and Insights, you will work closely with customers and engineering teams to own, shape, and drive the products we create and maintain. You will have the autonomy to manage release scoping and customer engagements for your assigned products. As a Product Owner, you will oversee the development of these products from start to finish. This involves collaborating with Product Engineering to establish business requirements, identify new functionalities and enhancements, manage the grooming of the feature backlog, and establish release scope. You will also develop and prioritize themes, epics, and stories to ensure that the work focuses on those with maximum value aligned with the product strategy. Your role will require you to build collaborative relationships across the enterprise and engage with customers (both internal and external) to help them utilize the products in your portfolio to achieve their business goals and deliver desired outcomes. Working directly in customer implementation projects will allow you to bring back potential new features and functions identified for your products to the R&D backlog. We believe that small, multi-disciplinary teams are most effective in delivering complex change. Therefore, we are looking for someone with a collaborative mindset who is flexible and willing to take on different responsibilities throughout the lifecycle of our products. With a focus on both Product Development (bringing products to the shelf) and Product Adoption (ensuring customer success), the Product Owner plays a key role in providing an outside-in perspective to our product roadmaps and vision.
