Technical Product Owner - DevSecOps - 12Month FTC - Tesco Mobile

About As "the voice of the customer" you are accountable for maximising the value of the Product (platform) the squad is responsible for. You'll work with your Squad members, Tribe lead, Chapter lead and Agile Coach to define and prioritise initiatives aligned to the strategic objectives of the organisation. You should have good inter-personal skills and be confident engaging with stakeholders around the business to understand their priorities and any interdependencies affecting your Product. You should show enthusiasm for speaking with users, customers and consumers to understand what matters to them. You will be expected to set a clear and inspiring vision for your product, and make decisions and priority calls to shape your Product backlog and guide the other squad members. You will bring a good understanding of the retail and / or telecoms industries and the role your platform plays in delivering customer value. Your squad members' subject matter expertise will give you everything you need to deliver high quality work as an autonomous team. You won't be afraid of making mistakes and should have a desire to learn fast and test as you go to validate your assumptions. You will ensure the squad is working on the right priorities to provide the business with a well-maintained, secure platform, while also driving innovation that allows the business to deliver customer value. Sitting in the Product Chapter, you'll work with the Chapter lead to develop your own mastery as a Product Owner and support your peers across the chapter in driving the overall chapter capability. You will be a self-led learner, doing your own research to further your knowledge and bringing best practice back into the Chapter.
