Job Description

Position Title: Senior Product Owner-Digital Channels

About the Role:

The Senior Product Owner is the connective layer between platform strategy and squad-level execution. If the Digital Channels Platform Lead is the Head Coach setting the season’s game plan, the Senior Product Owner is the Team Captain — translating that plan into in-game tactics, developing the players, and ensuring the team executes with discipline and customer-centricity. This role is equally accountable for journey-level outcomes and team capability.

What You'll Do:

  • Backlog and Delivery Ownership / Strategic Translation and Prioritization
    • Translate platform strategic intent and customer insights into prioritized epics, outcomes, and delivery roadmaps.
    • Ensure servicing journeys reflect the product value proposition and brand narrative.
    • Maintain a clear line of sight between squad-level backlog items and platform-level OKRs.
    • Translate the Digital Channels Platform Lead’s game plan into journey-level priorities and in-game delivery tactics for Product Owners and squads.
    • Guide Product Owners on prioritization discipline, backlog quality, and alignment to platform direction.
  • Customer and Experience Focus / Journey and Experience Ownership
    • Own journey-level KPI performance across the platform, including adoption, containment, resolution, NPS, and complaints.
    • Work with Journey Architects to ensure platform-level delivery is coherent with end-to-end journey intent.
    • Identify and surface cross-platform experience gaps to the Platform Experience Lead and Omnichannel Governance Lead.
    • Ensure that squad outputs collectively support the intended journey experience, not just isolated feature delivery.
    • Provide direction to Product Owners when squad-level choices may affect journey coherence, customer experience, or platform consistency.
  • Operational and Cross-functional Collaboration / Delivery and Governance
    • Collaborate with Design, Operations, and Technology teams to implement scalable, compliant solutions.
    • Act as the primary customer experience counterpart to Product Managers and senior stakeholders.
    • Coordinate across squads to ensure delivery plans, dependencies, risks, and release sequencing are aligned to platform priorities.
    • Ensure governance materials, release readiness inputs, and key decision points are prepared and surfaced to the appropriate stakeholders.
  • People Leadership and Capability
    • Directly manage and develop a team of Product Owners, including regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development conversations.
    • Coach Product Owners on backlog quality, discovery-to-delivery practices, stakeholder management, and customer-centric decision-making.
    • Foster a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement within squads.
    • Build capability in analytics, experimentation, and evidence-based prioritization across the Product Owner team.

What We're Looking For:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Management, Information Technology, Computer Science, Marketing, Industrial Engineering, or any related field. Postgraduate degree is an advantage.
