YOUR IMPACT
In the role of Product Owner for the Internal Product line, you will be responsible for driving development of internal tools, working closely with Product Leader, Consultants, Field Teams, Engineering, and QA. We subscribe to the philosophy that Product Managers and Product Owners are effectively CEOs of their product and drive growth and success of the product with the help of engineering, design, marketing, sales etc. The following attributes are key to excel in this role:
- Thrive in Ambiguity: POs carve the path and change it early and often as they collect more signals, while separating the noise.
- Strong Leadership: POs drive the day to day processes in managing the roadmap, driving the daily scrum rituals, and driving features/capabilities to on-time delivery.
- Strong Execution: This entails leading teams that work with you with fast-paced execution, using user research and business objectives to inform decisions, learning from new information and adjusting accordingly, communicating and managing relationships with stakeholders – both internal (your direct team) and external (senior leaders across the company, for example).
Key Responsibilities
- Help PM leaders define the long term strategy and vision for internal products, leveraging existing and new technologies to deliver features & value to our internal and external customers.

- Drive amazing work by defining detailed requirements via Program Increments, Epics & User stories, help scope & track Sprint level work to meet quarterly Objectives and Key Results, and ultimately Redwood’s yearly Rally Cry.
- Shape the culture model and hold teams accountable for creating a culture of belonging through inclusive, respectful, and equitable practices. Help teams and organizations communicate/collaborate effectively by setting a personal example.
