  • Own team backlog, including prioritization and refinement, making trade-off decisions to maximize value.
  • Optimize the flow of value by setting objectives and key performance indicators (KPIs) for solutions.
  • Inform and participate in business readiness, understanding the impact of change, translating the approach to manage adoption, and mitigating resistance.
  • Provide feedback on work-in-progress, clarify requirements, and contribute to removing roadblocks or impediments, looking for opportunities for continuous team and process improvement.
  • Partner with key leaders and peers across to determine resources required to achieve defined business outcomes.
  • Share best practices across teams to ensure alignment and consistency in ways of working within a value stream.
  • Foster an innovative, inclusive, and diverse team environment, promoting positive team culture, encouraging collaboration, and self-organization.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree preferred.
  • Two years of experience in product management preferred.
  • Two years of work experience within the discipline being supported (Cybersecurity, Digital Platforms) preferred.
  • Three years of experience articulating and translating business strategy, product vision, and analysis for a product preferred.
  • Agile Mindset: Embody Agile core values of openness, courage, respect, focus, and commitment, infusing Agile principles, practices, and methodologies to achieve team success.
  • Product Mindset: Focus on defining a product value proposition that aligns with and supports the company objectives and is the north star for the team.
  • Influence: Ability to influence behaviors of leaders at all levels and without traditional hierarchy.
  • Servant Leadership: Foster an environment where individuals thrive as empowered and equal members of a team.
  • Communication: Ability to communicate thoughts, concepts, practices effectively at all levels, adjusting as needed to a target audience.
  • Collaboration: Expertise working with others in a cross-functional multi-team environment.
