Technical Product Owner/Agile Delivery Lead

As a Technical Product Owner / Agile Delivery Lead, you will play a crucial role in software development, quality assurance, business analysis, and Agile project delivery. Your primary responsibility will be to define and manage the product vision, roadmap, and priorities in alignment with business goals. Collaborating with business stakeholders, you will gather, document, and refine functional requirements to convert them into epics, user stories, and testable acceptance criteria. Working closely with developers, QA, and cross-functional teams, you will ensure end-to-end delivery of high-quality products. In your role, you will also serve as an Agile Project Leader, facilitating sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives, and reviews. As a Scrum Master when required, you will ensure process adherence and team effectiveness while tracking and reporting sprint progress, managing risks, and proactively removing blockers. Quality assurance and optimization will be another crucial aspect of your role, where you will design and oversee the execution of sprint test plans and UAT. You will coordinate with QA teams for defect tracking, resolution, and reporting using tools like Azure DevOps, ensuring high quality and optimized products. Additionally, you will conduct impact assessments and support change management processes. Stakeholder engagement and support are vital components of this role, where you will provide regular updates to senior management on product performance, timelines, and resource needs. Collecting feedback from users, you will inform future enhancements and prioritize the backlog accordingly. You will also be responsible for creating training documentation and supporting the onboarding of end-users. To be successful in this role, you should have a minimum of 10 years of experience in IT/software development, with at least 3-5 years in a Product Owner or Agile Lead role. A solid understanding of Agile methodologies, SDLC, and QA practices is essential, along with a strong background in requirement gathering, test planning, and stakeholder management. Technical knowledge of SQL, C#, .NET, and BI tools such as Power BI and Tableau is beneficial. Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps, JIRA, or similar platforms is also required, along with the ability to bridge communication between technical and non-technical stakeholders. While certifications such as Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO I), Scrum Fundamentals, Agile Certifications, or ISTQB are preferred, they are not mandatory. A Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field is required for this role.,
