Job Description

About the Role

Our client is seeking a commercially astute and technical Product Manager (Product Owner), IT to take single-point accountability for an IT product across its entire lifecycle—from inception through operation to retirement. Operating as the “mini-CEO” of the product, you will completely own its strategic direction, P&L, roadmap, stakeholder relationships, vendor performance, and security posture.

Responsibilities:

Own the product's full Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), track unit economics, explain monthly budget variances, and approve all vendor invoices.
Define product roadmaps across a rolling 12+ month timeline, manage rolling feature lifecycles, and drive outcome-based, data-driven decisions.
Act as a strategic advisor to the business, map out stakeholder sentiment, shape technical demand, and run critical product reviews.
Monitor end-to-end service performance using scorecards and SLAs, manage third-party vendors, and deliver data-backed renewal or exit recommendations.
Remediate security findings to closure, manage access and identity governance, validate vendor security attestations, and ensure data privacy compliance (POPIA/GDPR).
Directly own key technical trade-offs and build-vs-buy decisions while maintaining visibility over the technology stack, integrations, APIs, and technical debt.

Key Requirements

Minimum 5 years of experience in IT product ownership, technical product management, or a senior technical/solution role.
Clear, demonstrable experience managing a product's P&L or Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) workbook.
A strong technical or engineering background with deep knowledge of system architecture, cloud platforms, and data integration landscapes.
Prior IT experience within the logistics and/or warehousing industry is highly preferred.
Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline (Product management certifications like Pragmatic or SAFe PO/PM are advantageous).
