Job Description:

Broadcom Mainframe Software Division (MSD) is committed to innovating to further address fundamental needs of our mainframe customers by evolving our solutions. We seek a Product Owner to join our AIOps and Observability Product Owner team to work with R&D teams focusing on leveraging machine learning to allow customers to gain insights and analysis from multiple domains.

The Product Owner (PO) within Broadcom closely collaborates with Product Manager (PM) and the Development Team with primary PO responsibility and value coming from understanding and contributing towards the product and solution strategy and executing on that strategy. The execution is done by breaking down the large strategic ideas and intentions into development items with concrete outcomes and then further with the development team into manageable work items as Enablers or User Stories which can be completed.

The PO works on-site within the R&D scrum teams to determine how the work will be completed and is responsible for ensuring what the team has developed successfully covers the customer validated use cases. Additionally, PO leads customer engagement and customer validation efforts.

Product Owner Core Responsibilities
  • Works closely with R&D development teams to maximise the value delivered to the customers

  • Understands how the Enterprise backlog model operates with Epics, Capabilities, Features, and Stories

  • Effectively communicate with both internal and external stakeholders

  • Establishes, prioritises, and helps sequence backlog items based on defined strategies, events, and dependencies with other teams

  • Ensures the common understanding of backlog items, their acceptance criteria and alignment on definition of done with R&D scrum teams

  • Coordinates with other Product Owners and cross-functional roles throughout the development and delivery process, focusing on their immediate solution team

  • Independently resolve complex projects, issues, and challenges encountered

Team Backlog Ownership
  • The principal responsibility of the PO is to maintain a prioritised, transparent, and straightforward backlog of work items that align with the product strategy and enable maximising the product value

  • Refine the backlog items with R&D teams to reach a common understanding with sufficient detail for the team to work on for the current and next iteration.

Cross-Team and Management Reporting

  • To maintain cadence across many teams globally, PO communication is key to ensure inter-team and cross-team dependencies are communicated and risks to team productivity are shared and mitigated

  • The PO is responsible for raising information to enable management by exception and is accountable for communication with their PO peers and solution leadership

  • The PO regularly leads projects requiring coordination with other functions or teams while providing guidance to less experienced team members

Customer Engagement
  • Our business success is driven by our customers and in turn by their success. In order to ensure our products solve our customers' challenges we continually iterate on our solutions asking our customers for their feedback

  • A PO works with their PM and other cross-functional roles, creating opportunities to visit customers and observe users in their environment whenever possible

  • PO actively seeks new opportunities for engagement with customers, builds and strengthens customer relationships

  • Regular iteration reviews are one of the responsibilities of the PO who decides when it is appropriate to share progress and with which internal and external stakeholders. In establishing the Sprint Review event, the PO will invite their customers describing the value they may expect to receive. Typically performed over video conferencing, a Sprint Review will showcase the most recent development

  • Presenting at industry conferences on their product, the technical vertical into which our products integrate, and on relevant adjacencies is strongly encouraged for all POs

  • When a support case is escalated to the development team for further action, the PO must be aware of the case and may manage the case to completion

Collaboration with Product Manager
  • The PO stands back to back with the PM, working together on the same broader problems but each tackling different areas of work and levels of detail. Whilst the Product Manager is considered 'outward facing' in meeting potential customers and buyers, the Product Owner is considered 'inward facing' and focused on existing customers and colleagues in development and support

  • The close collaboration of PO with PM is crucial for the creation of a product roadmap, adjustments and execution on the product strategy, and the overall success of the product

  • Product management oversees market research, monitors competitive activity, and identifies customer needs

Collaboration with Development Teams

  • Consisting of developers, architects, QA, Information Engineers, UX, and R&D management, the Development Team produces the vast majority of consumable output and answers the question "How" will this thing get done

  • The PO closely collaborates with development teams to ensure the items with the highest business value are prioritised, refined, understood, and ready for the development teams to pull into their iterations. PO then accepts the produced outcomes

  • PO represents the "voice" of the customers and internal stakeholders towards the team

Key Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree with a minimum 8+ years of related experience.
