About The Position

The Business Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the business value delivered by a dedicated, fixed capacity, cross functional team (Pod). Operating within Medtronic’s Agile, product aligned operating model, the Business Product Owner represents business and customer needs, translates strategic priorities into a clearly ordered backlog, and partners closely with the Pod to deliver incremental, measurable outcomes through continuous delivery and feedback loops. The Senior Business Product Owner balances near term operational and customer outcomes with longer term product direction. They continuously adjust priorities based on value, learning, and performance data— shifting scope rather than timelines or team capacity— to ensure delivery remains focused on the highest impact business outcomes.
