This Technical Product Owner (TPO) for the Contact Center Knowledge Management Platform is responsible for defining, prioritizing, and delivering capabilities that enable agents, supervisors, and customers to access accurate, timely, and relevant knowledge through Salesforce-based solutions. The TPO serves as the bridge between business stakeholders, Contact Center Operations, Knowledge Management teams, and technical delivery teams to ensure the platform supports operational excellence, customer experience, compliance, and continuous improvement objectives.

The Technical Product Owner (TPO) is the tactical owner of a team’s backlog and capacity. While the Technical Product Manager (TPM) sets strategic direction at the capability level, the TPO ensures the team delivers the highest-value work in alignment with capability priorities. Acting as the single-threaded owner of the team backlog, the TPO bridges business, technology, and delivery execution, consolidating responsibilities traditionally split between a Product Owner and Scrum Master.

The TPO champions MDF principles by fostering transparency, enabling disciplined delivery, and ensuring predictable flow of work. They shield the team from external disruptions, maintain clarity on priorities, and ensure commitments align with proven capacity

Key Accountabilities

• Backlog Ownership & Grooming
• Translate prioritized capability epics (from TPM ) into clear backlog items (features, user stories, technical enablers)
• Define acceptance criteria in partnership with the Technical Lead (TL) and ensure backlog items are “ready” for development
• Maintain a healthy backlog sequenced based on value, risk, and dependencies
• Reject or escalate any “backdoor” requests that bypass MDF intake

• Capacity & WIP Alignment

• Lead backlog refinement, sprint planning, and iteration reviews
• Ensure team goals tie back to capability and enterprise priorities
• Lead all Scrum Master activities, including facilitating ceremonies and promoting agile practices

• Execution Alignment
• Partner with the Technical Lead (TL) on delivery—the TPO owns the “what/why,” at the feature level while the TL owns the “how"

• Stakeholder Engagement
• A point of contact for business stakeholders

• Accountabilities
• A single, transparent backlog for the team that reflects enterprise priorities

• Completed work delivers measurable business outcomes—not just features
