Job Summary

Job Summary

We are looking for a passionate, self-driven, energetic, and technical Senior Product Owner (PO) to join our R&D development team, with a focus on our SaaS platform group. In this role, you will bridge the gap between market requirements from Product Management and the technical solutions implemented in our products. You will translate product requirements into actionable tasks for the development team—considering non-functional requirements (NFRs), customer needs, service health, and more—while aiming to deliver best-of-breed products. Using comprehensive business and technical knowledge, you will own the developed solution and guide the entire development process, from planning through testing to successful release. You will work closely with Development Teams, Product Management, Professional Services, Technical Writers, and R&D management, serving as the central focal point for internal and external stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

Analyze product business requirements and produce functional designs for CyberArk SaaS solutions, ensuring alignment with overall product capabilities.

Own the product backlog: Deconstruct large features into smaller, prioritized pieces that compose a releasable product, while continuously validating and reviewing backlog value for prioritization and completeness.

Review and refine business requirements, incorporating deep knowledge of the product, its customer use cases, SaaS architectures, and cloud environments to support continuous improvement.

Serve as the central focal point for all parties inside and outside R&D on how the product works, its capabilities, and the impact of changes; raise connections across R&D groups and other departments through sessions, demos, and collaborative reviews.

Utilize expertise in cloud environments and deployments to own the service technical roadmap, ensuring it supports CyberArk's broader SaaS business roadmap.

Lead large, high-visibility projects involving multiple development teams, explaining requirements, answering functional questions, and driving proactive collaboration.

Ensure, in partnership with line managers, that ongoing deliveries are presented on time and produce valuable content that meets customer needs.

Foster innovation by thinking out of the box to enhance product solutions and address complex challenges at the OS level.
