Drive the product’s security, risk, and compliance posture, including access, identity, and privilege governance. Ensure BCP\/DR plans are documented and tested. Bring an outside-in perspective via market scanning, benchmarking, and customer discovery. Act as a thought leader, translating market trends into strategic advantages. Own key architecture and technical trade-off decisions, understanding the product’s technology stack. Ensure all technical decisions are evidence-based, standards-aligned, and support performance, resilience, scalability, and security. Requirements: Deep understanding of IT systems, technical architecture, integrations, and data. Hands-on technical or engineering background. Experience in IT product ownership or technical product management. Strong technical depth in architecture, cloud, integration, or software delivery.
