Job Summary
We are seeking a strategic and execution-focused Product Owner / Product Manager to lead a product within a SAFe Agile Release Train (ART), driving platform capabilities that enable seamless integration across engineering and IT systems in an automotive environment.
This role is central to defining the product vision, enabling interoperability across tools and platforms, and ensuring scalable, reliable solutions that accelerate software development and delivery across vehicle and enterprise ecosystems.
The ideal candidate brings strong experience in product management, platform thinking, systems integration, and agile delivery, with an understanding of automotive engineering landscapes and digital platforms.
Key Responsibilities
Product Strategy & Vision
- Define and drive the product strategy for platform capabilities and system integrations across engineering and enterprise systems.
- Own and evolve the product roadmap aligned with business goals, platform strategy, and automotive system landscapes.
- Collaborate with enterprise architects, engineering leaders, and business stakeholders to ensure alignment between platform capabilities and product needs.
Agile Product Ownership (SAFe)
- Act as the Product Manager / Product Owner within SAFe, leading the ART in delivering platform and integration capabilities.
- Define and prioritise features and enablers based on business value, customer impact, and technical feasibility.
- Work closely with Product Owners, System Architects, and Agile teams to ensure predictable and value-driven delivery.
Platform & Integration Enablement
- Drive the development of scalable platform services and reusable integration capabilities across engineering and IT tools.
- Ensure solutions are standardised, reusable, and aligned with enterprise architecture principles.
Automotive & Engineering Ecosystem Alignment
- Understand and align with automotive software development lifecycles, including vehicle systems, validation processes, and engineering workflows.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support end-to-end product development across vehicle and digital platforms.
- Ensure platform capabilities support scalability, compliance, and future automotive innovation (e.g., SDVs, connected vehicle ecosystems).
Stakeholder Management
- Engage with cross-functional stakeholders (Engineering, IT, Architecture, Business Units, Compliance) to gather requirements and prioritise effectively.
- Communicate product vision, roadmap, and progress clearly to leadership and delivery teams.
- Build strong partnerships across global teams (e.g., engineering, platform, and business organisations).
AI, Copilot & Agentic Experience Enablement
- Define and drive adoption of AI-powered copilots and virtual assistants to support developers, engineers, and business users.
- Enable agentic workflows where systems can autonomously assist in tasks such as insights generation, workflow orchestration, and recommendations.
- Collaborate with AI/ML and platform teams to ensure responsible AI usage, scalability, and integration into existing ecosystems.
- Continuously evaluate emerging trends in AI-native product experiences and agent-based systems within automotive and enterprise domains.
Qualifications
Required
- 8+ years of experience in product management, platform products, or systems integration.
- Proven experience working in SAFe Agile environments (ART-level execution).
- Strong understanding of platform-based product development and integration ecosystems.
- Familiarity with tools such as Jira, GitLab, Cloud, and engineering systems.
- Good understanding of product lifecycle management and automotive development processes.
- Excellent communication, stakeholder management, and leadership skills.
Preferred
- Experience in automotive software, connected vehicle platforms, or engineering toolchains (e.g., MBSE/ALM/PLM ecosystems).
- Exposure to cloud-based platforms and scalable system architectures.
- Understanding of DevOps practices and modern software delivery in large-scale organisations.
Key Competencies
- Strategic Thinking
- Platform & Systems Mindset
- Automotive Domain Awareness
- Cross-functional Collaboration
- Value-driven Prioritisation
- Communication & Influence
- Problem Solving
- Design Thinking
