We are seeking a Network Component Product Owner to lead delivery across a defined network or security capability area (e.g., segmentation, NAC, DDI, egress, SIEM detections, or runbook automation).

Change Enablement

Co-create standard change models and evidence packs with technical leads.

Ensure post-implementation review actions feed back into the backlog.

5+ years' experience as a Product Owner or Business Analyst within network or security domains.
