Senior Product Owner, Building Products
Job description
This role sits within BPS's Product Development team, working day to day with the domain leads and engineers across structures, enclosure and building science, and design technology, and coordinating continuously with testing, software, hardware, material science, and build operations.

- Coordinate and consult with domain leads to ensure the development process is followed and best practices stay consistent across the team.

- Demonstrated ownership of a live portfolio that kept evolving after release: a backlog, program plan, new product development pipeline, prototype or design standard under revision control, or whatever your organization…
- A track record delivering complex, multi-team technical programs to committed schedules, including responsibility for surfacing and managing risk.
- Experience holding senior technical specialists who did not report to you to their commitments through influence.
- Experience introducing or materially changing a development process for a team that did not previously use one, including securing adoption from people who were not required to comply.
- Experience holding a development or program budget, including tracking committed versus actual spend on external vendor and consulting engagements.
- Proficiency with a work management platform and the judgment to use it proportionately rather than ceremonially.
