If you love Agile/Scrum and keeping stakeholder balls in the air; think that grooming a backlog is the most fun you can have standing up; and love to geek out with the dev/ops guys, we need to talk. The Product Owner for us needs to be able to talk the tech with the team's customers who range from satellite engineers to cyber security engineers to video and SATCOM dudes. Oh, and don't forget the folks that run the largest, carrier-class network that no one knows about! At the same time, the PO will be talking to execs and outside partners who know our biz inside and out and will call bull*&t in a heartbeat. Challenging? You bet! Learning curve? Duh. Smart people? Check. Ping me back and we can talk real time.
