Growing team where you can work as part of an empowered product team within the newly created Deloitte Software Group
Flexible work arrangements – work in a way that suits you best
We’re after a talented and passionate Product Owner to join a Product Team within the Software Group, working with cross functional teams to strategically drive the product incubation, development, Go-To-Market and sales opportunities specifically for Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions.
About the product portfolio
Our mission in the Deloitte Software Group (DSG) is to scale our smarts through tech to multiply impact with our clients. The breadth of Deloitte’s consulting network provides us with a rich source of customer problems and industry challenges, many which have no clear solutions. Whether it is making supply networks more transparent, helping enterprises transition to the workforce of the future or measuring the less visible impacts of business on the planet, we’re here to solve problems that matter. This presents the DSG team a rare opportunity to explore and validate problems, ideate and test potential solutions, then incubate and turn concepts with traction into scalable products. This is an exciting time to join an emerging and rapidly growing capability within the firm.
What will your typical day look like?

You will drive the product discovery process; speaking with customers to understand problems, workshopping ideas with your team to solve identified customer problems, testing protypes and observing user testing. You will coordinate the delivery of validated product features and ensure they are having the desired impact on KPIs and OKRs.
