Job Description

Insight Global's client is looking for a Technical Product Owner to join their team to help own their application called Lighthouse which is a Supply Chain Control Tower.

• Lighthouse is a dedicated supply chain control tower built for the North American market, designed to identify, manage, and mitigate active disruptions within the supply chain network.
• The tool has been developed over the last five years as a white material product and is deeply integrated into daily supply chain business routines.
• Historically, the product was managed by the digital team with a heavy emphasis on business-side requirements.
• A newly established structure has been put in place to balance decision authority between business stakeholders and technical execution teams.
• Under this model, the business side owns the "why" and "what" of product features, acting as a co-pilot with complete technical visibility.
• The technology team sits in the "driving seat" regarding the "how" of technical execution, integration, and architecture. This structural change has received positive feedback and buy-in across stakeholders.
• Core Responsibilities
• Act as a translator who can convert business requirements and stakeholder requests directly into technical solutions and delivery paths.
• Perform deep technical assessments on business requirements to determine the optimal technologies, platform tools, and technical skill sets required to deliver the proposed model.
• Decipher requirements and allocate specific execution tasks to the appropriate backend technical teams.
• Manage expectations and pushbacks on both sides, ensuring technical feasibility while pushing back constructively against unviable business timelines or requests.
• Note that hands-on coding, scripting, or building dashboards is not required; the role is focused on technical translation, requirement architecture, and stakeholder management.
• Technical Stack and Platform Requirements
• The standard tech stack utilized by the engineering teams includes SAP09, OMP, Snowflake, Azure, and Power BI.
• High-priority skills: Solid knowledge of Snowflake and Power BI is the most critical requirement for this role, as the product's centralized data lake is built entirely on Snowflake.
• The TPO will interface directly with specialized data talent, including Data Engineers, Data Architects, Data Scientists, and Software Developers.
