• Lead a team of TPOs through collaboration, delegation, and empowerment to ensure effective delivery of our technology solutions.
• Collaborate with architecture, engineering, and service management teams to ensure the overall backlogs are balanced to provide a scalable, user experience‑optimized, stable, and performant technology product that continually meets business needs.
• Ensure Technical Debt, NFRs (Non‑Functional Requirements), and System enablers are considered, captured, and cascaded to team backlogs.
• Participate in Sprint demos at the team level and assist in the preparation of system demos and other varied levels of involvement across a suite of Demos and Visual Release Notes at the team level. Engage in the preparation and delivery of PI demos to the stakeholder group via Inspect & Adapt workshops with the overall goal of driving increased use and adoption.
• Responsible for the quality and integrity of the data held in the Product Catalogue for your specific Product.
• Define a methodology for analysing and responding to target metrics and value post PI delivery, aiming to drive increased use and adoption of our technology products.
• Develop and mentor TPOs, supporting their professional development. Contribute to the TPM peer community in identifying and acting upon opportunities for Learning and Development, growth, and advancement.
• Maintain the quality and integrity of the data held in the Product catalogue and features within the technical and team boundaries, ensure the identification and contribution of risks and dependencies and ensure appropriate team backlogs reflect any impact.
• Drive the partnership with applicable product vendors, ensuring timely feature/product upgrades, and maximising the product's efficiency and effectiveness. Minimise bespoke customisation and influence business process changes to best utilise vendor‑supplied products.

• Certified in SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager (POPM), Agile Product Management (APM), or equivalent Agile certification.
• Strong understanding of business processes and how they translate into technical requirements.
• Demonstrated ability to work across technical architecture, system integrations, enterprise platforms, and modern software delivery practices.
• Experience in managing competing priorities by balancing vertical domain needs with horizontal shared capabilities or enterprise‑wide solutions.
