The IT PO will act as a central coordinator and accountability driver across multiple business and technology teams. This individual will not be responsible for building or designing solutions, but rather ensuring alignment, execution, and delivery across a complex, cross-functional environment.

• Coordinate efforts to enable personalized offers across:

• Operate effectively in an environment with no centralized PMO, partnering with distributed project managers and team leads

Agile & Process Leadership

• Support agile ceremonies and execution across a hybrid Agile/Waterfall environment
• Partner with Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Analysts, and Engineering teams to ensure delivery alignment
• Help define and evolve processes where needed — this role has flexibility to shape structure and best practices

Qualifications

Required Experience

• 4+ years of experience in a Product Owner, Technical Product Owner, or Program Coordination role
• Experience working in enterprise environments with multiple stakeholders and dependencies
