IT Product Manager/Owner Band 2

We are looking for a passionate and ambitious IT professional to join our P&G Professional (PGP) team, where you'll grow as a Product Owner. PGP is the organization in Procter & Gamble responsible for providing commercial/industrial products to professional customers/consumers (e.g. restaurants, hotels, health care facilities, etc.). You will be responsible for the definition of an IT Product strategy, starting by creating an inspiring Product vision and managing a global product roadmap including disruptive innovation. In order to bring your vision to life you will be collaborating with a diverse, multi-functional team, across regions, with the purpose of maximizing value for the PGP business.

Your scope of responsibilities will begin with PGP Salesforce, and will expand to other PGP digital products over time.
