Senior Product Owner

Lead product discovery and execution for research-collaboration tooling while serving as the primary bridge between business stakeholders and DevSecOps engineering teams.

Responsibilities

• Define product vision and priorities for research-collaboration tooling and technologies
• Elicit and validate requirements directly with business stakeholders, architects, and technical SMEs
• Translate business and research-collaboration needs into technical specifications and user stories
• Prioritize features and enhancements using business value and technical feasibility
• Maintain requirements traceability from business needs through technical delivery
• Keep current on external research-collaboration platform capabilities, including:
  • source-control/developer platforms
  • technical authoring and research-collaboration platforms
  • file collaboration/research-sharing platforms
• Assess integration options early and flag technical constraints based on working platform knowledge
• Partner with engineering and platform architects to evaluate feasibility and integration approaches before decisions are finalized (for example: authoring-platform to source-control sync, repository/access models for external collaborators)
• Track changes in the research-collaboration tooling landscape and re-scope the roadmap accordingly
• Evaluate architectural decisions and technical tradeoffs with engineering and platform architects
• Assess scalability and performance implications of product and tooling choices
• Make informed decisions on technology stack and integration approaches (including authoring-platform-to-source-control sync and external-collaborator repository/access models)
• Act as the primary translator between business stakeholders and DevSecOps engineering and platform leads
• Communicate technical constraints, tradeoffs, and timelines to non-technical stakeholders in plain language
• Communicate business priorities and external-collaborator needs to engineering teams in actionable terms
• Apply project management fundamentals, organization practices, and process mapping to keep product and requirements work on track
• Maintain documentation of decisions, open questions, and requirement changes (for example: meeting minutes and decision logs)
• Support planning and prioritization discussions with program leadership
• Deliver a product vision, prioritized roadmap, and technical specifications that remain traceable from business need through technical delivery
• Produce feasibility and integration-approach assessments for research-collaboration platform initiatives, informed by business analysis and economists and developed jointly with engineering and platform architects
• Maintain decision logs, meeting minutes, and other process documentation supporting the product workstream
