The role ensures a transparent, structured, and prioritized product backlog while maintaining strong alignment with all internal stakeholders.

• Apply diverse requirements-elicitation techniques to capture, structure, and validate functional, non-functional, and process-related requirements.
• Evaluate business needs against existing products, internal tools, and market solutions to determine the optimal approach (reuse, configure, or build).
• Document detailed process flows, user journeys, and system interactions to support product and operational decision-making

Backlog management, prioritization & roadmapping

• Define, maintain, and prioritize a comprehensive product backlog that reflects business priorities, risk, dependencies, and operational constraints.
• Build and manage product roadmaps aligning business objectives, application evolution, and delivery planning.
• Drive decision-making using value, impact, cost-of-delay, and process-criticality considerations.

Feature planning, solution definition & supplier collaboration

• Translate complex requirements into clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and test scenarios.
• Ensure alignment of internal solutions with the broader tooling ecosystem and operational processes.
• When engaging external solution providers, prepare detailed requirement packages and validate delivered configurations against expected outcomes.

Stakeholder collaboration, change enablement & adoption

• Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders, business process owners, and users to ensure clarity, alignment, and adoption of new capabilities.
• Organize UAT cycles, facilitate validation sessions, and consolidate findings into actionable improvement items.
• Lead change enablement activities: documentation, tutorials, training, communication, and adoption tracking.
• Act as the primary contact for internal users, ensuring structured support and clear communication throughout the product lifecycle.

Operational support & process optimization 

• Provide continuous application support, investigate issues, coordinate fixes, and ensure sustainable long-term use of the tools.
• Analyze recurring issues or gaps and translate them into improvement requests or product enhancements.
• Ensure all product and process artefacts are kept accurate and up to date within the internal governance framework.

Qualifications

• 5-7+ years in Product Ownership and/or Business Analysis, with a proven record of delivering internal tools or enterprise solutions and experienced with context switching roles;
• Demonstrated experience leading discovery, defining business processes, and managing complex internal stakeholder environments.
• Strong background in evaluating solution alternatives (existing tools vs. new development) and making recommendations based on value, cost, and feasibility.
• Proven ability to autonomously translate complex business and process requirements into well-structured user stories, acceptance criteria, and delivery milestones.
• Experience managing UAT cycles, coordinating stakeholders, and driving adoption across diverse user groups.
• Strong operational mindset with experience supporting applications post-deployment, managing user inquiries, and driving continuous improvement.
