Product Owner (Technical Delivery)

Product Owner (Delivery)

Role Summary

The Product Owner (Delivery) translates the Product Roadmap into well-defined features and ensures they are delivered on time, within scope, and to the expected quality standards.

Working closely with the Product Manager, this role owns the day-to-day execution of product delivery, including backlog prioritization, user story definition, sprint planning, release coordination, and delivery quality. While the Product Manager defines what to build and why, the Product Owner focuses on how and when features are delivered.

This role focuses on delivering product features aligned with the Product Roadmap, rather than managing customer contract commitments or sales-driven scope.
