Learn more at: https://www.doDOC.com We are looking for a product owner to join our team and change the world. You should be smart, ambitious, self-driven, and hungry for success, with plenty of energy and ideas to help us embed a strong culture of the user first in everything we do. As Product Owner (PO), you will play a major role in supporting our product and technology units and building long-term relations with existing and potential team members. doDOC is helping some of the world?s largest pharma enterprises to manage their regulatory and scientific documentation, so by joining our team, you will have a chance to grow, learn and make a real impact in the industry. What will I be doing? We empower our product teams to solve exciting problems in ways that our customers love yet work for our business. Our product development teams are cross-functional and durable, generally comprised of a product manager, a product owner, a product designer, and several engineers. We staff our product teams with the skills necessary to come up with effective solutions that are valuable (our customers choose to buy or use), viable (the solution works within the many constraints of the business), usable (the user can figure out how to use) and feasible (our engineers have the skills and technology to implement). While the product designer is accountable for ensuring the solution is usable, and the engineers are accountable for ensuring the solution is feasible, the product owner is accountable for ensuring the solution is valuable and viable. This means that the product owner must contribute to their product team a solid knowledge of the various constraints of the business ? constraints from marketing, sales, service, finance, legal, and privacy are typical examples. The product owner must also contribute to the product team a deep knowledge of our users and customers and the data about how our customers engage with our products. Finally, the product owner is expected to track industry trends and the competitive landscape about their product. While each product team member may be accountable for a specific risk, we look for product owners that understand that consistent innovation is the result of each member of the product team contributing their passion and their ideas. Finally, the product owner must collaborate closely with their product designer and engineers to discover effective solutions and then work together to deliver them to the market. While we empower our product teams to figure out the best solutions to the problems that need to be solved, we also hold those teams accountable for the results. For example, shipping is necessary but not sufficient. We look for product owners who are not afraid of signing up for results, even when they have to work through others to achieve the necessary results.dustry.
