Product Owner - Precision Design System UX/UI

About the role

The Product Owner (PO) at Broadcom sits between the Product Manager (PM) and the Development Team. The PO's primary responsibility and value come from understanding and contributing towards the product strategy, and then executing that strategy by breaking down large strategic ideas and intentions into development items with concrete outcomes and then further into manageable work items—such as enablers or user stories—with the development team. The role requires a PO to navigate priorities across the mainframe software portfolio. Broadcom's Precision design system is a modern user interface framework, including both design assets and developer SDK, that delivers a consistent and intuitive user experience adopted by over 35 mainframe products in the Mainframe Software Portfolio. These distinct products are consumers of Precision assets, and by understanding all of the varied personas and use cases along with the value of the capability in the market, the PO is to prioritize features and capabilities across the development roadmap. Delivering user experiences that differentiate from the competition and are realized in the market within the solutions at the right time. This role requires negotiation across value streams and offering teams. The PO is the voice of the customer to the development and engineering processes, ensuring the right work is done at the right time to achieve the best outcomes for our customers—both external users and internal product teams who consume Precision assets.
