Responsibilities:

• Elicit, analyse, and document business, functional, and technical requirements across AI, platform, and cloud‑based initiatives.

• Translate stakeholder and customer needs into well‑defined user stories, acceptance criteria, and prioritised backlog items.

• Own and manage the product backlog in Jira, ensuring stories are technically clear, groomed, and delivery‑ready.

• Partner closely with engineering teams throughout the sprint lifecycle—from refinement and planning through delivery and review.

• Support and actively participate in Agile ceremonies, including backlog refinement, sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives.

• Engage in technical discussions to support story refinement, dependency management, issue triage, and delivery decisions.

• Collaborate with platform, cloud, DevOps, and security teams to ensure solutions meet scalability, reliability, and security standards.

• Support delivery of AI‑driven capabilities, including data access, model integration, observability, and governance considerations.

• Continuously adapt to new platforms, tools, and technical domains, driving ongoing improvement in delivery and product clarity.

Essential Skills or/and Certifications:

• Hands‑on experience working in Agile environments, with practical exposure to sprint planning, backlog grooming, and delivery workflows.

• Ability to balance business priorities with technical feasibility and delivery constraints.

• Proven experience using Jira for backlog management, requirement tracking, and delivery coordination.

• Strong capability in writing clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and managing dependencies.

• Prior experience in roles such as Technical Product Owner, Product Owner, Business Analyst, or similar delivery‑focused positions.

• Experience working in technology‑driven, engineering‑led environments.

• Comfort operating across system‑centric, platform, and infrastructure contexts rather than purely functional domains.

• Ability to understand complex business problems and translate them into structured, actionable technical requirements.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills across technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

• Willingness to learn and engage with new technologies, platforms, and architectural patterns.

• Openness to working across AI, data, cloud, and infrastructure‑heavy use cases.

• Experience working on or supporting AI‑enabled products, data platforms, or intelligent systems.

• Familiarity with concepts such as data pipelines, model integration, AI governance, or observability is an advantage.

• Understanding of cloud concepts such as environments, deployments, networking, and infrastructure‑as‑code.

• Exposure to GCP, AWS, or Azure; GCP experience is desirable but not mandatory.

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Harness or similar tools) and modern delivery practices.

• Ability to work with engineering teams to align delivery processes with product goals.

• Basic understanding of application security, access control, data protection, and governance considerations.

• Ability to incorporate security and compliance requirements into product and platform stories.

• Previous exposure to product ownership, platform products, or internal developer platforms is a strong advantage.

• Ability to think beyond delivery and contribute to product quality, scalability, and long‑term value.

• Highly structured and detail‑oriented, with a strong focus on clarity and quality.

• Comfortable working across multiple workstreams, platforms, and technical domains.

• Collaborative, proactive, and delivery‑focused, with a strong sense of ownership.

• Confident engaging with technical teams while maintaining a clear business and customer perspective.
