Mō te Tukurau Aotearoa - About NZ Post

Ever wondered about the magic behind parcel delivery? It's a tale of teamwork, cutting-edge and data-led technology, and some truly awesome people. All united by one mission - to deliver for New Zealand. Ready to be a part of that story?

We recently created four new Senior Product Owner roles and have one left and up for grabs.

Our Product Owner chapter are the guardians of technology that is foundational to how our organisation operates and grows. NZ Post and our technology ecosystem are evolving in both complexity and ambition.

Kōrero mō te tūranga - About the role

Supporting our Consumer team, we're looking for a strategic, tech-savvy leader who can turn big ideas into impactful outcomes. As a Senior Product Owner with us, you'll shape the evolution of the platforms and products that keep NZ Post moving - from concept to delivery and beyond. You'll lead in high complexity domains, across multiple squads and/or technologies. Specifically, this role supports our Consumer Team – the people tasked with making sure we are customer centric, and always the first choice for anyone wanting to send parcels within NZ.

In this role, you'll:

• Set the direction for complex, cross-squad products that are critical to our business and customers.
• Connect vision to delivery - translating strategy into actionable roadmaps and prioritised backlogs.
• Lead and inspire - coaching other Product Owners, uplifting capability, and fostering a culture of agile, customer-centred delivery.
• Drive commercial impact - balancing technology investment with return on value and long-term platform health.
• Influence at the highest levels - partnering with senior stakeholders to make the right calls at the right time.

This is a newly created role, which requires the skill and expertise of a truly experienced Senior Product Owner. We are on the hunt for a seasoned professional who would like to take their skills and apply them into a fast paced, evolving and complex organisation. If you've supported a Consumer team before – even better!!

Mōu - About you

You're a seasoned senior product leader who thrives at the intersection of vision, delivery, and stakeholder influence. You know how to connect big-picture goals with on-the-ground action - and you're equally comfortable shaping roadmaps, coaching teams, and making tough trade-off calls. You'll be able to clearly demonstrate strong commercial acumen, balancing customer value, business goals, and technical effort to inform prioritisation and investment decisions.

You'll bring:

• 5+ years in Senior Product Owner or Product Manager roles in technology-driven environments.
• Proven success delivering products end-to-end and across multiple squads.
• Strong commercial acumen, including budget management and investment planning.
• Deep understanding of agile product development and iterative discovery at scale.
• Exceptional leadership, coaching, and stakeholder management skills.
