The Product Owner plays a critical role within the People Digital & Operations COE, supporting the successful implementation, operation, and ongoing optimization of key People and Talent technology products.
This role operates as a business and product-facing manager, accountable for understanding how assigned products function, representing business needs, translating requirements into actionable inputs for technology teams, and ensuring solutions are delivered, adopted, and sustainably operated.
The role partners closely with People COEs, Business SMEs, Product Owner Support Resources, Deloitte Technology, PMO, and Change teams to drive value across the full product lifecycle — from delivery through to long term enhancement and sustainment. While the role carries strong ownership and accountability, it is not a technical configuration role.
