The Technical Product Owner (TPO) is responsible for driving delivery and evolution of the Status Service platform, an enterprise system that transforms raw operational events from Oracle EBS and other upstream systems into standardized, business-level statuses consumed by downstream applications. This role requires a combination of product ownership, technical acumen, and supply chain domain knowledge. The ideal candidate will be able to quickly learn and operate within a configuration-driven, event-based platform while partnering with engineering teams to define requirements, validate integrations, and ensure accurate representation of complex warehouse and ERP processes. The TPO will serve as the primary bridge between business stakeholders, supply chain operations, and engineering teams, ensuring that system behaviors align with real-world operational workflows.
