Overview

As a Product Owner in the Retailer Sales Channel Lottery Product Management team, you will be contributing to the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for products in the Retailer Sales Channel area. Your contribution is a crucial component in how we will own the customer engagements, craft new features and help customers make the most of existing releases.

Reporting to the Product Managers for the Retailer Sales Channel, you will be involved in working with our clients and engineering teams to craft and drive the products we build. You will lead all aspects of the development of these products from start to finish, working to establish business requirements, identify new functionality and improvements, handle the grooming of the feature backlog, establish release scope, as well as help develop and prioritize themes, epics and stories to ensure work focuses on those with maximum value that are aligned with product strategy.

Through collaborative relationships across the enterprise and engaging with our customers (internal and external) you will help Brightstar and Lotteries use the products in our portfolio to achieve their business goals and deliver the desired business outcomes. Working directly in customer implementation projects allows you to bring back to the R&D backlog potential new features and functions identified for our products.

We believe small, multi-disciplinary teams are most effective in delivering sophisticated change. As such, we are looking for someone with a collaborative mentality who is happy to be flexible and take on different responsibilities over the lifetime of our products.

What You Will Be Doing

With focus on both Product Development (products to the shelf) and Product Adoption (without Lottery customers), the Product Owner is the key role in bringing an outside-in perspective to our product roadmaps and vision. As a product owner you will:

Understand and help give to the product manager’s vision for the team’s products
Lead customer engagements to understand and anticipate their needs and translate them into product requirements, arrange and conduct product demonstrations and workshops
Supervise all stages of product creation (including design and development) by liaising closely with product engineering leaders who will lead the day-to-day engineering efforts
Build customer-specific artifacts (e.g., Business Process Flows, Functional Specifications, Use Cases, Customer Requirements Documents, Configuration Questionnaires)
Cooperate with other team members, such as Marketing, Legal and Security
Provide guidance, and ongoing support for customers to drive product usage

What You Bring With You

Bachelor’s degree in an IT field or equivalent work experience, with at least 5 years of experience in a business systems analysis role or as a product owner, handling a sophisticated product or feature within an enterprise
A solid understanding of product management and software development methods(SDLC), applied concepts and tools in modern product management and product design
The ability to solve complex challenges and convert them into structured solutions, which are actionable for both internal and external partners
Strong interpersonal, communication and collaboration skills
Ability to influence without authority, working with team members who do not report into this role to get things done
Strong project management, organizational and leadership skills, including ability to lead and prioritize multiple challenging initiatives with daring multi-project schedule
Ability to travel internationally (up to 30% of time)
Ability to work across multiple time zones internationally
A sound understanding of Open Retail and our Retailer Solutions and how they are used to sell, handle, and market Lottery products is a plus.
