Full Job Posting
Role Overview
- The Product Owner is the driving force behind BGC's enterprise platform.
- This is the person who decides what gets built, in what order, and why.
- While the title is Product Owner, the scope of this role is equivalent to a Product Manager in the traditional sense: owning the full product lifecycle from discovery and requirements all the way through to delivery, iteration, and eventual commercial positioning.
- This is not a coordination or admin role. The Product Owner is a strategic and operational leader who sits at the intersection of business, technology, and market.
- The platform spans five modules — Property Management, Waste Management, Contracting, Legal, and Finance & HR — and is being built with a go to market ambition for the GCC construction and real estate sector.
Product Vision and Roadmap
- Own the product vision across all five platform modules, ensuring every build decision is grounded in BGC's core objectives: Digitization, Visibility, and Data & Strategy.
- Define and maintain a prioritised, phased roadmap starting with Property Management (Phase 1, Jul to Dec 2026) and progressing through Waste Management, Contracting, Legal, and Finance & HR by end of 2027.
- Make scope, sequencing, and trade off decisions throughout delivery — knowing when to cut a feature to protect a timeline and when to hold the line on something strategically important.
- Translate high level business goals from senior leadership into a concrete product plan the development team can execute sprint by sprint.
Discovery and Requirements
- Lead structured discovery across BGC's departments through workshops, process walkthroughs, and stakeholder interviews, to surface pain points and translate them into functional requirements.
- Work closely with the Tech Business Analyst to convert findings into detailed functional specifications, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
- Validate delivered features against real operational needs before sign off. The Product Owner is the last checkpoint on whether the right thing was built, not just whether it was built correctly.
Backlog and Sprint Management
- Own and maintain the product backlog, ensuring stories are always well defined, prioritised, and ready for the development team to pick up without ambiguity.
- Participate in sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives, keeping delivery cadence tight and removing blockers that sit between business and tech.
- Track delivery progress across all five modules and report to the Chief Strategy Officer on roadmap status, risks, and decisions that require escalation.
Stakeholder Management
- Act as the primary link between senior leadership and the development team, translating strategic direction into product decisions and translating delivery realities back to leadership clearly and honestly.
- Manage expectations across BGC's departments, each of which has its own module on the roadmap and its own sense of urgency. Build trust with department heads by being specific about what is coming, when, and why it is sequenced the way it is.
Commercial and Go to Market
- As the platform matures through Phases 3 to 5, begin formal competitive benchmarking against GCC and global construction and real estate software, identifying differentiators and gaps.
- Define the platform's pricing logic, packaging tiers, and target market positioning in collaboration with the Market Researcher and senior leadership.
- As external clients are onboarded, own the external product roadmap, balancing BGC's internal build priorities against client requested features and making principled decisions about what gets built for everyone versus what remains a client specific customisation.
Requirements
- 3 to 6 years of experience in a product management, product ownership, or equivalent role delivering digital products or business software, with SaaS, ERP, or enterprise tools preferred.
- Demonstrable experience owning a product backlog, running sprint cycles, and making prioritisation decisions in a resource constrained environment.
- Strong ability to gather and document requirements from non technical business users and translate them into specifications a development team can work from.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, comfortable presenting to C level and working directly with developers in the same day.
- Fluent in English. Arabic is a strong plus given the GCC market focus
