This is a critical leadership role responsible for execution of our highest priority initiatives to deliver the outcomes and shift the metrics we care most about (OKRs). Product Owners execute initiatives through prioritisation and direct supervision of the work engineering squads do, from continuous planning, through discovery and refinement to delivery. They also ensure squads balance delivery commitments with plannable maintenance of our technology assets. Without this role we would not be able to reliably and consistently execute our strategic initiative and maintain the robust health, resilience and stability of our systems.
This role would suit people with previous e-commerce experience working as a Product Manager, Product Owner or Senior Business Analyst. As a member of the Marketplace Engineering team this role's customers are Trade Me customers selling and purchasing goods and services on our e-commerce platform.
Here's what you can expect from the role:
Align squad work with Product and Technology Roadmaps and OKRs
Create, refine and maintain a robust, adequately resourced Epic backlog
Lead release change management including customer adoption/rollout planning and both internal and external engagement and communication around the change
Be a strong advocate for the customers and our products
Keep everyone informed and aligned
Adhere to agile principles
What you will bring to our team:
5+ years of experience of delivery leadership working in software development teams
A proven track record of successfully developing flexible value-driven product roadmaps to clarify where we are going, taking ownership of outcomes and delivering measurable results
Experience with opportunity definition and discovery, goal-oriented product roadmaps and using outcome-based metrics to measure the impact of change
Experience working in technical roles within product-driven software development teams within a complex and fast-paced environment
You're an outstanding communicator - able to explain ideas simply & clearly, listen carefully to others, and communicate across a wide audience
You're highly organised and result-oriented with strong planning and facilitation skills
Experienced in leading technical teams within an agile environment with an excellent understanding of agile ways of working & engineering practices
You are confident using collaborative tools to clarify work scope, sizing, trade-offs, dependencies and other planning considerations. (eg. Miro, LucidChart, Jira)
We know some candidates can be reluctant to apply for roles if they feel they don't 'tick all the boxes'. If you're excited about this opportunity, we'd still really like to hear from you.
Trade Me is an INZ accredited employer. We truly value diversity and embrace a flexible workplace where people are encouraged to achieve their potential.
