How you'll make an impact

As a Product Owner, you own the product vision, strategy, roadmap and metrics for a product team. You will work with your peers in engineering, design, and research to deeply understand the market, technological landscape and your customers' needs, and then translate that understanding into compelling products and services that solve real problems.

You will be working on the Bills product, one of the key business workflows within Xero used by millions of users. Bills, part of Spend Management, aims to help businesses better manage their outgoing cashflow. It also sits at an unique intersection where you will get to work collaboratively with other product teams across the globe.

Success looks like

Strategy - You love crafting product strategy, including cultivating the voice of the customer, forming a long term product vision, building a rolling roadmap to deliver that vision, and identifying the right key results to evaluate whether you are on track. Importantly, you don’t do this alone: you cultivate a culture where engineers and designers obsess over customers and ideate through solutions alongside you.
Delivery - You are the hammer, constantly thinking ahead to the next slice of value you can deliver to customers and leveraging best agile practices to translate those slices into clear and precise user stories and epics that your engineering peers can turn into software. You are also the janitor, flagging issues, documenting decisions and doing everything that is needed so that your team can focus on shipping software for customers.
Stakeholder Management - You thrive when pulling together stakeholders across the business - for insight, collaboration and communication. You lead through influence and credibility instead of through authority. And you can roll with folks on both the go-to-market and technical sides of the house and speak knowledgeably about the issues that matter to them. You use these skills to help bridge the gap between strategy and delivery and make sure you are always shipping the right things.
