Job Title: Platform Product Owner (E‑Commerce / Technical Platform)
Location: Dallas, TX (Hybrid)
Duration: 12+ months contract
Interview: Video Interview
Job Description
Role Overview
- Client is seeking a Platform Product Owner to own and drive the technical health, security, and stability of its e‑commerce platform. This is a newly created role designed to bring product ownership discipline to platform‑level, security‑focused initiatives.
- This position is not a functional or business-facing Product Owner role. Instead, it is ideal for a Product Owner with a strong technical mindset who enjoys working on platform stability, upgrades, security requirements, and release execution rather than customer-facing features.
- The initial engagement is expected to last at least six months, with a high likelihood of extension due to the volume of platform and technical initiatives underway at Rexel.
Key Responsibilities:
Platform Ownership & Vision
- Act as the technical Platform Product Owner for the e‑commerce platform
- Maintain a clear platform vision, roadmap, and delivery timelines
- Own platform-level scope decisions and technical priorities
- Ensure the platform remains stable, secure, and production-ready
Security & Platform Stability
- Partner closely with security teams to deliver required platform-level security changes
- Ensure security requirements are translated into clear technical user stories
- Own and coordinate platform upgrades, patches, and configuration changes
- Ensure platform configurations are secure (e.g., backend controls, component scope, access restrictions)
- No hands-on security engineering required; work is at the platform governance and delivery level
Technical Product Ownership
- Define and manage technical user stories, acceptance criteria, and scope
- Ensure development work is properly tested (UAT) and production-ready
- Validate that platform changes meet security and stability requirements
- Drive work through completion and successful release into production
- Cross‑Team Coordination & Communication
Work closely with:
o Other Product Owners
o Product teams
o Security teams
o QA and testing teams
- Manage cross‑product dependencies and downstream impacts
- Serve as the primary point of coordination for platform-related changes
- Primary “customers” are internal product teams and security teams, not end users
Release & Delivery Management
- Drive release planning for platform upgrades, patches, and security work
- Coordinate timelines across development, testing, and release activities
- Communicate milestones, risks, and timelines clearly to stakeholders
- Blend Product Owner responsibilities with light project delivery leadership
Platform & Technology Context
- Platform: E‑commerce (SAP Hybris)
o Hybris experience is a plus, not required
o Any solid e‑commerce platform experience is acceptable
- Role focuses on maintaining and securing the existing Hybris cloud platform
- Rexel is evolving toward a microservices architecture, making platform coordination critical
Team & Working Model
- No direct reports
- Owns and works with a pod/group of developers, primarily based in India
- Requires strong coordination across time zones
- On-site presence in Dallas is required
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Product Owner with a strong technical/platform orientation
Comfortable discussing:
o APIs
o Platform architecture concepts
o Technical dependencies
o Security requirements at a conceptual level
- Not a purely functional or business-only Product Owner
- Strong communicator who can translate technical complexity into clear direction
- Enjoys owning platform health, stability, and delivery
- Approximately 80% IT/technical focus, with awareness of functional impact
Required Qualifications
- Experience as a Product Owner or similar role on technical or platform-focused initiatives
- Experience working with engineering teams and defining technical user stories
- Strong stakeholder communication and coordination skills
- Experience supporting releases, upgrades, and production deployments
Preferred Qualifications
- E‑commerce platform experience (Hybris or similar)
- Experience working with offshore development teams
- Exposure to platform security initiatives (not hands-on security tools)
