Product Owner – Network & Security Engineering

Role Purpose
We’re looking for a Product Owner to take end‑to‑end ownership of a key component area within our engineering pod—such as segmentation, NAC, DDI, egress, SIEM detections, or runbook automation. In this role, you will refine epics into clear, testable stories, manage cross‑tower dependencies, and keep delivery flowing smoothly from idea through to production.

Key Responsibilities
Story Elaboration & Delivery Readiness

Translate risk/controls, architectural designs, and technical artefacts into high‑quality user stories.
Define and enforce Definition of Ready (DoR) and Definition of Done (DoD).
Orchestrate user acceptance testing and ensure stories meet required quality standards.

Dependency Management

Maintain a live dependency map across networks, identity, endpoint, SOC, and service management.
Coordinate sequencing and negotiate priorities to remove blockers and maintain flow.

Change Enablement

Co‑create standard change models, evidence packs, and supporting artefacts with Tech Leads.
Ensure post‑incident review (PIR) actions are accurately captured and fed into the backlog.

Reporting & Stakeholder Engagement

Track and visualise delivery progress (e.g., burn‑up charts, control coverage, throughput).
Maintain a strong feedback loop with the Key Product Owner, keeping them informed on value, risks, and priorities.

Must‑Have Skills & Experience

Experienced as a Product Owner or Business Analyst within network/security environments.
Strong story‑writing discipline and excellent backlog hygiene.
Comfortable working with technical configuration and policy artefacts (firewall baselines, ISE/NAC policy, DDI designs, proxy/ZTNA, SIEM rules).
Fluent in ITIL change processes and familiar with ServiceNow request/change models.

Preferred Certifications

PSPO or CSPO
ITIL 4 Foundation
Vendor fundamentals in one or more stacks (Cisco, Zscaler, Fortinet, Splunk, Infoblox, Forescout)
