Senior Product Owner - Cloud & Engineering Platforms

At GSK, we unite science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together. We are a global biopharma company with a special purpose – to unite science, technology and talent to get ahead of disease together. We’re proud to be leading a healthcare revolution, and we’re looking for people who can help us deliver on our ambition.   Role Overview The Senior Product Owner - Cloud owns the backlog and roadmap for the Cloud platform, and all Cloud services translating what GSK teams need into prioritised work and maximising the value the platform delivers to the teams that consume it. The role works daily with engineering to deliver increments and accept completed work, links every backlog item to strategy and OKRs, and measures adoption and outcome rather than output. Products span cloud, network, digital workplace and AI Hub domains, and the specific product is set on appointment.    The role sits inside the platform team and holds genuine product decision rights over backlog order and acceptance. Platform strategy and the multi-year roadmap sit with the Platform Manager, domain demand and sequencing sit with the Domain Portfolio Manager, technical design and standards sit with the Platform Architect, and the reliability bar sits with Reliability Engineering. This is an insourced role under the DPTF sourcing decisions, so it is not delivered through a managed service partner.     In this role you will • Own and prioritise the product backlog by value, risk and reliability, applying lean portfolio principles rather than fixed project plans.  • Link every backlog item explicitly to GSK D&T strategy and domain OKRs, and measure the outcome with a named metric.  • Translate consumer needs and business outcomes into clear requirements and user stories that engineering can act on without further interpretation.  • Work daily with the engineering team through refinement, planning and review, and accept completed increments against agreed criteria.  • Balance new capability against the reliability bar, agreeing SLOs and error budget impact with Reliability Engineering before committing to work.  • Use AI tooling to accelerate discovery, backlog refinement and requirement drafting, and record where AI-assisted output has been reviewed before acceptance.  • Measure product adoption, self-service uptake and value delivered, and iterate the roadmap on that evidence rather than on stakeholder volume.  • Steer delivery with flow metrics such as throughput, cycle time and work in progress, and act on them rather than reporting them.  • Manage consumer demand and stakeholder expectations, saying no with a reason where an item does not compete on value.  • Manage supplier-delivered components within the product, holding partners to the same acceptance criteria and reliability standards as internal work.  • Contribute the product view into the domain roadmap held by the Platform Manager and the portfolio view held by the Domain Portfolio Manager.  • Hold the boundaries with the Platform Manager on platform strategy, the Platform Architect on technical design and standards, and Reliability Engineering on the reliability bar.       Why you?
