PRODUCT OWNERSHIP

Are you skilled at turning complex compliance and security needs into clear, testable outcomes? Are you comfortable using Jira Software to generate epics, user stories, etc? Do you love shaping backlogs, writing crisp acceptance criteria, and working daily with engineering and design to ship increments that matter? Are you fascinated with artificial intelligence?

We are hiring a Product Owner to drive the feature backlog for our Digital Trustify platform, coordinating closely with the Director of Platform Engineering, the CAIO, and our Scrum Master.

You will collaborate with UX/UI, back-end, front-end, DevOps, and AI teams to deliver secure, auditable functionality—questionnaire automation, evidence management, policy workflows, dashboards, and AI-assisted investigations. You will use Jira Software to generate and management workflows across teams.

BACKGROUND

Experience in GRC, cybersecurity, or data-protection domains is a plus.

• Maintain an outcome-based roadmap aligned to OKRs; track KPIs (cycle time, adoption, accuracy of AI-assisted features, reduction in questionnaire turnaround).
• Partner with the CAIO and AI Systems Architect on AI-backlog items (RAG, evaluation gates, guard-rails) so features pass governance checks.
• Coordinate with UX/UI for research and design; ensure usability and accessibility targets (WCAG 2.2 AA) are met.
• Collaborate with DevOps/Platform Infra on release readiness, observability, and rollout plans; support incident triage where product behaviour is implicated.
• Drive customer discovery (interviews, betas), synthesise insights, and translate them into backlog changes.
• Own acceptance of completed stories and sprint increments; curate release notes and enablement materials.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field; product or agile certification (PSPO, CSPO, APM) preferred.
