Solution Owner - Business Advisory

Who You’ll Work With

Our Business Advisory Services teams help organizations of all kinds redefine what’s possible, give shape to the future—and get there. We focus on high-impact projects, meeting our clients where they are to uncover business needs and deliver results. Our teams go beyond the expected to help clients move confidently through ambiguity and risk and drive more transformative outcomes.

What You’ll Do

Slalom’s Solution Owners are lead-from-the-front technology and agile delivery experts who are deeply dedicated to a single project. As a Solution Owner you will lead software delivery teams and be the liaison between Product Ownership, Project Governance, and Development/Implementation Teams.

Depending on the project, you will play a multidisciplinary, unique-to-Slalom role on an iterative software development team that touches on aspects of a Project Manager, Scrum Master, Quality Analyst, Business Analyst, or Functional Analyst. Your primary responsibilities include working with clients to understand their business requirements, building and maintaining the product backlog, and successfully leading agile projects through their lifecycles.

Responsibilities

• Define and work within an agile project governance framework (e.g. establish team cadence, facilitate Scrum ceremonies, manage dependencies, issues and risks)
• Be the functional and subject matter authority for the solution and act as the liaison between product, technology, business and governance teams related to the Cloud Transformation solution
• Work with Product Owners and Solution Architects to define and deliver technology solutions for clients
• Lead technical teams in cloud migration and modernization efforts to AWS / GCP / Azure
• Partner with the Product Owner to define the product roadmap and own the structure and content of the product backlog. Write user stories that effectively communicate stakeholder requirements, are easily consumed by software development teams, and retain focus on the Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
• Manage and mitigate team risks and dependencies through coordination with other related product/project teams and business organizations
• Drive delivery across multiple domains, e.g. define and validate the technical approach, strategy and deliverables with engineering leads; lead QE in the execution of test plans and verification of sprint feature releases; facilitate UAT and business validation of major releases
• Evangelize Agile methodology, inclusive of ceremonies and demonstrate the ability to explain agile concepts and terminology in a manner that resonates with the client
• Partner with clients to ensure full understanding and execution of Agile roles
• Resolve conflicts, build alignment and influence senior leaders to create a pathway to Agile adoption
• Creatively introduce agile methodologies to drive outcomes for client teams and adoption of agile at the organization

What You’ll Bring

• Deep Agile expertise with the ability to set up and execute Scrum-based projects; competency in multiple agile methodologies (e.g., Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, XP, and Lean) a plus
• Experience in all phases of product, software, and testing lifecycles
• Skilled at defining and documenting business and functional requirements for ongoing system enhancement initiatives in iterative software development environments
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to coordinate between different teams, clients, stakeholders, and governance structures
• Proven ability to lead cloud technology (AWS, GCP, Azure) product development and/or application migrations
•
