Join us in Cosmopolitan Dubai as a Technical Product Manager and make your mark on the aviation world by taking our products to the next level!

Join our Technical Product Management team where we build effective technology products and services that our customers love. We offer a mix of B2B and B2C products and services in domains such as Digital Airline and Airport Operations Group Services and Commercial. Our goal is to continuously evolve our products, enriching them with features that focus on delivering value to our customers and users. If you are passionate about creating impactful technology products and ensuring their success, we invite you to apply and to contribute to the innovation and excellence at Emirates Group.

We are seeking a Technical Product Manager to own and evolve our IT products portfolio, including products such as Jira, Planview and related enterprise solutions. This role is responsible for defining the product vision, roadmap and value realisation of IT enablement products. You will ensure these products are implemented, adopted and optimised driving measurable outcomes across planning, delivery, cost management and governance. You will lead prioritisation, manage demand and continuously improve user experience to continuously improve IT operations. This is a highly visible role requiring strong product management discipline, technical depth, and stakeholder leadership.

In this role, you will:

• Collaborate with TPOs (technical product owners), peer groups, vendors, and other IT stakeholder groups to deliver ongoing and future Program Increment Planning (PIs), utilising business value, assessing available capacity, and effectively sequencing and prioritising backlogs.
• 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‑optimised, 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/s.
• 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.
