ABOUT THE TEAM

We are the connection between business, technology, and customers. We define the direction, strategy and roadmap of new products and features to deliver value to our customers, business partners, and employees. 

ABOUT THE ROLE

You bridge technology and business value and are the go-to person who’s responsible and accountable for the inception, design, delivery and testing of solutions that work. You won’t just create tech features, you’ll create customer and business value. This means that you work with your business partners to understand the context, and you deliver the solution that is needed. It will usually be tech, but not always. You’ll improve processes, train people, refine policies and procedures, improve data and reporting, and of course, deliver technology to enable all of this. You’ll always take the time to embed your solutions within their content, and you own the outcome rather than the output.

You will be working in an agile environment on high-quality software to support THE ICONIC as a leader in the online retail space. You will use your prioritisation skills to make the right calls on what needs to be addressed and when and how value can be delivered as early as possible.

You’ll be part of a multidisciplinary team with OKRs (Objectives & Key Results). You’ll work with your team to get things done and advocate for the team, explaining how your solutions deliver value for customers and contribute to THE ICONIC’s success. You’ll break your product objectives down into tangible deliverables, ensuring the team and others across the business are engaged. You’ll resolve any blockers that may arise, following the Lean Development Life Cycle.

You take accountability for your product backlog. This is more than accountability for ‘having’ a backlog. You also make sure that it is clearly ordered by business and customer value, based on data and rationale and are able to communicate how your prioritisation decisions are made and why. You don’t do anything you do because someone else said you should do it. You have a clear view on what is most important, and why you believe it to be so.
