Auckland City, New Zealand Shred-X Full time

At Freightways, our mission is to provide our senders and receivers with exceptional customer experience. We follow a digital-first approach, enabling our customers via simple, effective self-service solutions. We want our customers innovating and leading, just as much as we do.

We are at the beginning of a new wave of digital opportunities. Not only are we leading the business technically with a cloud-first attitude, introducing API and microservices architecture, but we also play a significant part in shaping ongoing business transformation initiative. Our mission is to create innovative, robust, and resilient digital tools for our customers. An exciting opportunity has become available for a talented Product Owner to join us in our mission.

**About Our Team**

Joining an established team of 4 developers and a QA engineer, we need a strong Product Owner who has their eyes on the product line, understand our customers’ needs and is able to prioritise work ensuring we maximise value delivered to our customers. This Product owner role will see you collaborating with engaged and highly skilled individuals from your scrum team to colleagues and internal clients.

Our team based out of our head office in Penrose enjoy not only a location with easy motorway access but being situated in the heart of Freightways, you can see what’s happening on the floor live. Our enjoyment in working together is pretty clear to see if not from our impressive potluck lunches, in our ability to turn a long disaster recovery test into a work and comedy exercise.

**Some of what you will do**:

- Work with business stakeholders, product managers and development teams to ensure the successful delivery of the prioritised objectives. This will include:

- Ensuring clear, common understanding and documentation of objectives.
- Maintain a sufficient backlog of well-prepared, estimated, prioritised work that meets the definition of ready.
- Lead Sprint Planning to ensure team sprints are well planned, have a realistic time frame and make efficient use of the teams resources.
- Efficiently communicate with the team to understand the progress towards the sprint goal, and help removing impediments to delivery.
- Work with the Development Manager and team members to create an environment that embraces a growth mindset, agile practices and continuously improves in ways that enable the team to deliver “sooner, safer, happier”
- Collect and present metrics that provide insight into the delivery of value.
- Identify bottlenecks, and implement experiments for improvement.
- Maintain excellent relationships with the team, promoting a “we all win together” culture.

**We are expecting you to have this on your first day**:

- Fantastic communication skills: listening, leading, and collaborating.
- Excellent relationship and stakeholder management skills.
- Demonstrable experience of Product ownership and agile mindset.
- Experience with data platforms and Business Intelligence solutions.
- Experience in creating measurable business value through digital and non-digital products.
- Ability to solve problems, get things done and achieve results in a constantly changing environment.
- Ability to work independently and to collaborate.

**What's on offer**:

- Competitive salary matched to ability with annual reviews.
- A great place to work with colleagues who will challenge and build with you.
- On-the-job learning opportunities, time to experiment and develop new techniques, Certification, and workshops.
- Responsibility and decision-making, we need you to tell us as the expert what to do to meet the business goal, not the other way around.
- Free onsite parking.
- Southern Cross membership.
- Flex Policy (including Birthday leave, Remote work, Charity Day).

**Applications close Friday 24 November, 5:00pm.
