**Job Summary**:
The Product Owner (PO) at Allan Gray encompasses elements of traditional systems and data analysis, business requirements analysis and product process management within the software delivery function of the team.
**Responsibilities**:
**The role of the Product Owner is expected to include the following functions**:
- Primary link between the client business unit and the development team
- Informs business solution design based on understanding technical constraints and opportunities
- Responsible for facilitating the development of the technical solution design that best meets the business requirement
- Ensuring rigorous business analysis has been completed
- Helping the development team to design the appropriate technical implementation
- Providing the UX/UI team with input on design
- Developing and facilitating an effective ‘product process’ to ensure that the product evolves to meet target client needs and aligns with Allan Gray’s overall service model
- Prioritises and manages the 6-month product backlog, including seeking opportunities to address technical debt
**Skills / Competencies**:
**The skills that successful Product Owners are expected to demonstrate will include**:
- Superior process design and facilitation skills
- Allan Gray’s technology teams generally adhere to modern Agile practices, but successful POs are expected to be able to implement agile product development processes relevant to their product and that takes into account the unique technology and business context of Allan Gray’s business
- Product Owners at Allan Gray don’t ‘own’ their product nor do they have complete autonomy over their product’s evolution. Instead, successful POs will identify who their business stakeholders are and what their role should be in the product process so that we deliver to clients a product and service that is aligned to Allan Gray’s business model
- Superior communication skills
- The successful PO needs to be able to communicate the business requirement to their development team, as well as the technical opportunities and constraints to their business stakeholders so that the team delivers value to its client/ user
- “Nose for value”
- The successful PO will be able to make ongoing tradeoffs between being responsive to changing client needs and behaviour, satisfying business need for speed to market and building technically-robust and flexible solutions so that long-term business value is delivered
**Experience**:
- Experience working with software development teams and managing complex software projects would be advantageous
- Alternatively, experience working in highly analytical or problem-solving teams would suffice
- Experience in working on digital or mobile solutions, including working with the design team, i.e. UX and UI
- Experience working with development teams that are operating in a modern frontend architecture - Microservices, Single Page Apps (SPA), Javascript (React.JS or Angular.JS) would be advantageous.
- People management experience
**Qualifications**:
- Any background / degree in an analytical, quantitative field such as computer science, engineering, business science or similar
