Product Owner (Microsegmentation)

About Us

At ANZ, we're shaping a world where people and communities thrive, driven by a common goal: to improve the financial wellbeing and sustainability of our millions of customers.

About the Role

As the Product Owner – Microsegmentation, you will define the vision, roadmap, and delivery of segmentation capabilities helping prevent lateral movement and protect critical assets across on-prem and cloud platforms.

You will work at the intersection of security engineering, architecture, and business delivery owning outcomes, not just technology.

The Product Owner constantly prioritises tasks and squad(s)backlog(s)with the customer at the heart of their decision making. The Product Owner also ensures that the work is strategically aligned to the portfolio mission and engages with other Product Owners to align and manage interdependencies. Whilst this role is not usually a people manager (there will be some instances where this occurs), it is a key leadership role, galvanising the squad(s)around a vision and supporting them to successfully deliver customer value at pace.

Banking is changing and we’re changing with it, giving our people great opportunities to try new things, learn and grow. Whatever your role at ANZ, you’ll be building your future, while helping to build ours.
