Senior Product Owner

As Senior Product Owner on the Marketing Technology team, you'll be a transformation catalyst who combines deep product ownership expertise with an AI-forward mindset to reimagine how we work at enterprise scale. You'll guide product backlogs across multiple business areas while pioneering the use of AI agents, automation, and intelligent workflows that drive efficiency, clarity, and innovation across our organization.

You'll be both a pragmatic executor and a bold innovator—someone who can manage stakeholder priorities, ship results, and design and deploy AI-enabled workflows that transform how teams collaborate. Your work will span from tactical backlog management to strategic enterprise initiatives, bringing clarity to ambiguous spaces and building relationships across the organization to drive consistency and excellence for all stakeholders.
