About the Role
We're seeking a Technical Product Owner to join a highly regarded global consulting firm, delivering a mission-critical platform for a major federal government department.
This is a hands-on, SAFe-aligned delivery role where you'll work closely with architects, engineers, and product stakeholders to guide technical direction and ensure delivery outcomes align with both business value and system sustainability.
You'll own and prioritise the team backlog, ensuring it includes the right mix of features, enablers, and technical debt items. You'll define robust user and enabler stories, translate solution intent into technical outcomes, and work across teams to support the delivery of scalable, API-driven, integration-heavy systems.
What You'll Bring
- Strong experience as a Product Owner in a technical delivery or systems environment
- Understanding of APIs, integrations, data structures, authentication, and system architecture
- Experience working with non-functional requirements and ensuring they're embedded in stories (e.g. performance, security, scalability)
- Confidence in writing clear user and enabler stories with detailed acceptance criteria
- Proven ability to balance delivery priorities, including managing technical debt and platform improvements
- Hands-on Agile delivery experience in a SAFe or enterprise-scale environment
- Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills - both technical and business
