The Opportunity

We are seeking a highly autonomous and results-driven Senior Product Owner to join our WPP Open product team. In this pivotal role, you will be instrumental in driving the execution and optimisation of a critical, often specialised, product capability.

You will translate defined product strategies into meticulously prioritised and actionable backlogs, proactively guide complex feature sets through the development lifecycle, and ensure the delivery of measurable, high-impact product outcomes.

You will work closely with Product leadership, engineering teams, and various stakeholders to deliver value that directly contributes to WPP Open's success. This role requires deep domain expertise, a strong understanding of agile methodologies, exceptional communication skills, and a relentless focus on delivering value to users and the business.

What you'll do

Complex Product Backlog Ownership & Execution Leadership

Own and manage complex or high-impact product backlogs for your designated, often specialised, product capability. Ensure these backlogs are meticulously prioritised, well-defined, and directly support the overarching product strategy and roadmap defined by the Product Lead.
Drive the execution of the product roadmap for your capability, translating strategic objectives into actionable epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria, and ensuring timely delivery of high-quality solutions.
Focus on defining clear, measurable outcomes for each initiative and feature, and track progress against these metrics, providing regular updates to the Product Lead.

Proactive Requirement Definition & Refinement

Translate defined product strategy and user needs into clear, concise, and actionable epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria that lead to clear, testable outcomes.
Proactively engage with engineering and design to refine requirements, identify technical dependencies, and ensure feasibility and optimal implementation for complex features.
Act as the primary source of truth for the development team regarding product requirements and user needs for your specialised capability.

Cross-functional Orchestration & Collaboration

Act as the central orchestrator within your agile development team, working closely with engineering teams, UX/UI designers, and other product stakeholders throughout the entire product development lifecycle, from concept to release.
Drive alignment and resolve impediments within the development team to ensure smooth and efficient delivery of complex features.
Facilitate agile ceremonies (e.g., sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews) to ensure effective team collaboration and progress.

Strategic Stakeholder Engagement & Communication

Proactively engage with relevant stakeholders, including Product leads, engineering leads, and end-users, to gather feedback, clarify requirements, and ensure strong alignment for your product capability.
