About this role
About the Role VoCoVo’s Platform Engineering forms the technical foundation of the product, spanning cloud infrastructure, developer tooling, messaging and connectivity services, and our on-premise edge device platform. This new Platform Product function will embed platform work into the product operating model to drive clarity and outcomes across the organisation. What You'll Do
- Own and rebuild the platform roadmap, transforming a backlog of technical tickets into a structured, outcome-driven plan, legible across VoCoVo.
- Act as the voice of internal customers, ensuring the needs of product and delivery teams are visible to platform engineers. What We're Looking For
- Excellent product management foundations, with experience in technical B2B environments.
- Proven experience of working alongside or embedded in platform, infrastructure or enablement teams, alongside an understanding of how these differ from stream-aligned feature teams and what it takes to earn their trust.
- Strong levels of technical literacy, you are able to engage fluently in platform, infrastructure & architectural conversations, without the need to be an engineer.
- You have a strong background in translating technically complex work into outcome-focused roadmaps, epics and communications.
- An internal customer mindset, with the ability to surface and represent the needs of product and delivery teams in platform planning.
- You are comfortable restructuring technically-framed Jira backlogs into outcome-driven artefacts that non-engineers can understand.
- The ability to move at pace - navigating tight timelines and strong opinions, you are also able to confidently and respectfully challenge when work risks drifting from outcomes.
- Excellent communication skills, including experience of presenting technical roadmaps and investment cases to senior leadership. Nice to Have
- Familiarity with Team Topologies or similar thinking about platform vs stream-aligned team dynamics.
- Exposure to messaging infrastructure, IoT platforms, edge computing, cloud-native architecture or infrastructure security.
- Experience introducing product practices into engineering teams that have previously operated without them.
- Prior experience in a scale-up environment where delivery processes are still maturing.
