Join Our Team as a Product Manager!\n Purpose \n Are you ready to transform ideas into impactful products? As a Product Manager, your mission will be to turn the Investment Committee's build decisions into a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that is tangible enough for evaluation. Your role is crucial in ensuring that when an initiative doesn't succeed, it’s due to a flawed hypothesis, not an avoidable product weakness. You will own the vision of what gets built, the pace of development, and the adoption by intended users during the MVP stages. Key Accountabilities\n\n • Vision Setting: Define the vision for the build and create the target product profile, product requirements, and acceptance criteria for every initiative funded by the pillar.\n, • Collaboration: Work closely with scrum masters, product teams, and engineering teams to ensure approved work is sequenced, built correctly, and delivered swiftly.\n, • User Engagement: Collaborate with users just as much as with engineers. Gather feedback from the target market and ensure the specification reflects the features that truly matter.\n, • Product Adoption: Own the product adoption during the MVP stage. A portfolio failure should stem from a disproven hypothesis, not from a solution that users couldn't or wouldn't use due to preventable product choices.\n, • Evidence Gathering: Bring product, user, and technical evidence to stage gate discussions for transitioning an MVP into a scalable product.\n, • Build Estimates: Provide estimates for externally sourced opportunities, including internal costs, capacity, time, and principal delivery risks.\n, • Project Management: Own end-to-end program and project management for each funded MVP, establishing integrated plans, milestones, dependencies, and decision points.\nDecision Rights\n You will own the product specification, acceptance criteria, and backlog prioritization within approved initiatives. You will determine whether product and user evidence is sufficient for presentation at a stage gate, while the Investment Committee will decide on the initiative's progression. Required Experience and Capabilities\n\n • Proven experience in digital product management, product development, or technology-enabled transformation.\n, • Demonstrated end-to-end accountability for digital products from discovery to adoption, ideally across multiple markets.\n, • Experience in shipping digital products, with the ability to write and defend specifications and make necessary trade-offs.\n, • Credibility with engineers and architects, understanding technical capabilities and realistic timelines.\n, • Ability to communicate effectively with commercial leaders, initiative sponsors, and users, translating needs in both directions.\n, • Highly structured approach with rigorous control over scope, timeline, product quality, and decision records.\n, • Adept at estimating build costs and efforts for meaningful rent-versus-build comparisons.\n, • Experience in influencing delivery teams and senior sponsors without direct ownership of engineering resources.\n\n Application Deadline: Please submit your application by the end of day November 10th.
