What You'll Bring

You are an Agile product owner with strong experience in customer-facing software delivery and a background in Computer Science, Information Systems, or Engineering — or equivalent experience. You bring strong communication skills, a collaborative approach, and the creative thinking and learning agility to adapt as the role evolves.

• Mastery of Agile product ownership: backlog management, user stories, acceptance criteria, and the judgment to prioritize across competing stakeholder demands.
• A hands-on approach to AI: you integrate autonomous agents into daily workflows, engineer prompts and context for reliable outputs, and build AI-assisted automation to accelerate delivery.
• The analytical ability to turn ambiguous business needs into clear, actionable requirements — and the decisiveness to move forward without perfect information.
• Technical fluency to engage credibly with architects and engineers. Familiarity with SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) or SAP S/4HANA is a plus.
• A proven track record of mentoring product owners and influencing cross-functional teams without direct authority.
• Fluency in Portuguese and professional proficiency in English; Spanish is a plus.
  
  

What You'll Build

You will own product vision end-to-end — shaping what gets built, setting priorities, and ensuring every engagement delivers real customer value.

• Turn complex, conflicting requirements into a clear, prioritized backlog — keeping customers, architects, and engineers aligned from sprint to release.
• Define acceptance criteria and quality standards, review delivered work, and uphold governance and documentation requirements throughout every engagement.
• Lead Agile ceremonies, manage backlog priorities and dependencies, and maintain full transparency with stakeholders at all levels.
• Evaluate Generative AI and agentic AI capabilities and translate them into backlog decisions that deliver measurable customer value.
• Design and deliver production-grade AI Agents and Assistants that advance the SAP Autonomous Enterprise vision, operating within a Forward Deployed Model to drive outcomes directly at the customer.
• Mentor other product owners and raise the standard of product thinking across the team.

The team builds enterprise AI solutions at the intersection of agentic AI, cloud, and industry processes — working directly with global customers.
