What are the responsibilities and job description for the Product Owner - Huron Research Suite - Reporting and Analytics position at Huron Consulting Group?

The Opportunity

Huron helps its clients drive growth, enhance performance and sustain leadership in the markets they serve. We collaborate with education organizations to develop strategies and implement solutions that enable the transformative change our clients need to own their future. Together, we empower clients to drive innovation, create sustainable funding streams and deliver better student outcomes.

Today, leaders of higher education institutions and academic medical centers are spending too much time reacting to market forces, rather than focusing on the essential priorities that help students, faculty and staff thrive. The most productive path forward requires an intentional approach and innovative thinking, whereby stakeholders across the entire institution rally around a shared vision and embrace the hard work of effecting change.

You'll help our clients to achieve organizational effectiveness, improve student outcomes, implement new technologies and align resources and investments to ensure long-term sustainability.

Join our team as the expert you are now and create your future.

Position Summary

While Product Managers set the big-picture goals and strategy for their product success, Product Owners act as a bridge to connect the product and development teams. As a Product Owner, you add value by prioritizing the right work, at the right times, and make sure everyone on the team is aligned on the reasoning behind that work to ensure the continuous delivery of value to our users.

As a PO, you are the person who facilitates product decisions and have the final say about short term product development priorities with the development team. You understand stakeholders' needs and build a vision that will drive the development team to develop the vision. A Product Owner needs to have an all-inclusive view of the product along with all the other factors like business understanding, go-to-market, organizational readiness, and product capabilities. All of these should be collectively managed, coordinated and aligned to drive product success
