Product Owner, Cyber Security
About The Position
Cyber security work is dynamic, complex, and increasingly connected to business priorities. We’re looking for a collaborative, agile-minded Product Owner who can bring structure to this work and keep teams focused on the highest-value priorities. As a Product Owner, you’ll help the Cyber Security team balance operational demands with technical projects and longer-term capability planning. You’ll manage a dynamic backlog, support planning and delivery coordination, facilitate prioritization discussions, and translate technical and operational needs into clear, actionable work. You’ll work closely with cyber security teams, technology partners, other Product Owners and business stakeholders to manage dependencies, communicate progress, support roadmap planning and operationalize new practices, processes and capabilities. You don’t need to be a cyber security specialist, but you should be comfortable working with technical teams, asking good questions, organizing complex work and helping teams make practical decisions in a fast-moving environment. This role may be a strong fit if you have experience as a Product Owner, Project Manager, Scrum Master, Business Analyst, delivery lead, team coordinator, or technology operations lead, especially if you enjoy bringing structure to ambiguous work and helping teams make clear decisions.
