Product Owner

Description

The CareerPlug Product motto is;

We strive to continuously deliver value that our clients/partners love, and work for our business.


Product is a team sport, and on every team there are folks behind the scenes ensuring everything is running smoothly. The glue that holds everything together. Ensuring our I’s are dotted and our T’s are crossed. This is even more needed in times of transition (team structure changes, process transformation, and philosophy evolution). We need reliable teammates that understand what we are trying to accomplish with all of these changes and are in the arena helping us get there. That is the charge of a Product Owner.


High-quality and continuous value delivery is all of our jobs. PO’s are no exception... they have key responsibilities at every phase of the software development / value delivery lifecycle.

Early

In the early discovery phases (opportunity discovery & solutions shaping), you’ll help ensure we are moving forward together, and we may even cultivate and organize customer insights.

Given you will be responsible for updating stakeholders to progress, it is vital that you help negotiate and then operationalize your squad's goals (usually in the form of rocks, but also timelines and high-integrity commitments to internal to the squad and the stakeholders).

During

During the shipping phases you’ll ensure everyone is aware of work-in-progress and no one is blocked.

After

Finally, as the result of our highly iterative style of work, you will help usher the value throughout staged rollouts. From internal launches, to early adopters (alpha, beta, gamma), all of the way to the general availability launch – you’ll do everything you can to ensure the launch is successful.

You'll be a vital partner in ensuring we are learning from our launches. You do not stand for success theatre... you keep everyone focused on the goal.
