👋 The Senior Product Owner at 3Pillar leads backlog ownership on complex, multi-team or multi-track engagements. You bring a high degree of autonomy to the role — you don't need constant direction to produce well-structured, high-quality work. When requirements are ambiguous or a PM is less available, you know how to fill the gap: ask the right questions, make defensible decisions, and keep the team moving.

You are equally effective translating from a 3Pillar PM and from a client PM or Product Owner, and you know how to navigate the nuances of each. You bring craft and rigor to everything in the backlog — and you help raise the bar for other POs on the engagement.

At 3Pillar, Delivery Leads own the client relationship. Your domain is execution quality: a well-groomed backlog, stories the team trusts, and a delivery rhythm that doesn't stall waiting on product clarity.

This is a senior role by 3Pillar standards — we expect more experience and consulting depth than a typical industry "Senior PO" posting.

Actively participate in all Agile ceremonies as a senior, prepared contributor — and help shape ceremony effectiveness

Mentor and guide POs on the engagement; review their stories, raise the quality bar, and invest in their development

Partner with UX to ensure research findings and design decisions are translated faithfully and completely into the backlog
