Job description

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Business, or a related field.
• 7+ years in enterprise IT&Data, including proven experience as a Product Owner / Product Manager (or equivalent) owning the vision, roadmap, and backlog of a technical or platform product.
• Strong command of agile product ownership: backlog management and prioritization, writing user stories and acceptance criteria, release planning, and working in Scrum / Kanban / hybrid (SAFe an advantage).
• Sufficient domain fluency in SAP master data (material / product, customer, vendor) and in master-data workflow / BPM (e.g. Orsoft, SAP Business Workflow, SAP MDG) to prioritize credibly, shape requirements, and partner effectively with the technical Chapter — without needing to be the hands‑on design authority.
• Demonstrated ability to translate business and data-governance needs into product outcomes and measurable value.
• Excellent stakeholder management across business and IT up to senior-management level; able to align priorities and to say “no” constructively.
• Outcome- and data-driven decision‑making; comfortable prioritizing under constraints and ambiguity.
• Fluent English (written and spoken); effective in a global, multicultural, matrixed organization.
• Experience supporting global template deployments, regional rollouts, and business transformation programs spanning multiple markets and operating companies.
  

Product Vision & Strategy

• Define, communicate, and continuously evolve the vision and strategy for the Master Data Workflow, aligned to the MDM and IT&Data strategy and to the needs of the business functions it serves.
• Translate business and data-governance objectives into a clear product direction and measurable outcomes. Backlog Management
• Own, maintain, and prioritize a single, transparent product backlog for the Workflow, spanning enhancement, project, and transformation demand. Requirement Gathering & Refinement
• Work closely with business process owners, data owners, and data stewards to gather, clarify, and refine requirements into well‑formed backlog items and user stories.
• Ensure data‑quality and governance needs are expressed as product requirements, in partnership with Data Governance and DQ teams. Release Planning & Roadmapping
• Own the product roadmap and plan and prioritize releases with the squad and stakeholders.
• Manage the global roadmap and its communication — keeping stakeholders aligned on what is coming, when, and why. Plan & Review
• Plan the work with the squad, then review and accept completed increments, demonstrating delivered value to stakeholders.
• Keep the backlog and product artefacts current for the applicable delivery framework (Scrum, Kanban, hybrid / waterfall). Dependency Management
• Identify and manage dependencies — across Orsoft, SAP ECC / S/4HANA, the integration layer (e.g. Tibco), and other products — that affect the platform’s success, coordinating and escalating through product and program governance as needed.
• Act as the primary liaison between the squad and stakeholders across Finance, Marketing, R&I, and Supply Chain, ensuring needs, trade‑offs, and decisions are understood on both sides.
• Represent the product in product-group, architecture, and program governance forums, and communicate value delivered to both technical and executive audiences. Acceptance Criteria Definition
• Define clear acceptance criteria so the team knows when a requirement is complete and ready for release, safeguarding quality and fitness‑for‑purpose from the user’s perspective. Continuous Improvement
• Actively seek feedback from stakeholders, squad members, and end‑users to identify improvement opportunities, and foster adherence to product and agile best practices.
• Use adoption, quality, and performance signals to drive simplification and continuous improvement of the workflow product. Workflow Governance.
• Product ownership of master-data, workflow, or platform products in a large, matrixed enterprise.
• Familiarity with Orsoft‑based master data processes and with S/4HANA migration programs and their workflow implications — enough to prioritize and plan, not to configure.
• Understanding of data‑governance operating models (data owners, stewards, councils) and how workflows operationalize them.
• Awareness of process mining, workflow analytics, and automation (RPA, low-code) as levers on the product roadmap.
• FMCG / CPG industry experience and its master-data characteristics (innovation cycles, regulatory attributes, customer hierarchies).
• Working knowledge of agile / hybrid delivery (Scrum, SAFe) and ITSM (ITIL) as it relates to product operations.
• Familiarity with enterprise integration patterns, APIs, event‑driven architectures, and workflow orchestration across SAP and non‑SAP ecosystems.
