Product Owner - ArcGIS

Overview

Use your passion for software development and ArcGIS to put your stamp on the world’s leading GIS software.

Our team uses an understanding of the customer space to drive the next generation of core capabilities in the ArcGIS platform. We own and shepherd the development of these capabilities throughout the software development lifecycle, making sure our customers’ needs are represented, as well as increase collaboration across product teams in order to build desirable, feasible, viable and sustainable solutions for our customers.

As a product owner on the platform capabilities team you’ll employ a user-centric design approach to discover and define the problem space and present the business justification to stakeholders. You will then work closely with the development teams, articulating and prioritizing user stories, coordinating development, and helping to test and prototype during implementation while communicating with internal stakeholders throughout the process.
