About The Position

As a Product Owner I, you will play a key role in supporting the delivery of secure, reliable, and high-performing collaboration and end-user computing platforms that power how our teams work every day. In this entry-level role, you will partner closely with engineering, infrastructure, and business stakeholders to translate technical and operational needs into clear, actionable backlog items that drive value. You will help refine user stories, maintain a ready backlog, and participate in agile ceremonies while gaining hands-on experience with platforms such as Microsoft 365, Teams, Exchange Online, Azure Virtual Desktop, and endpoint management tools like Intune. You’ll balance competing priorities across production support, maintenance, and enhancements, while ensuring alignment to business objectives, user productivity, and platform stability. This role is designed for someone building their product ownership capabilities—you’ll operate with guidance while developing your ability to independently prioritize work, communicate effectively with stakeholders, and contribute to continuous improvement efforts across collaboration and infrastructure platforms.
