About the Role The Publishing Solutions Product Owner for the Biblio (AKA Oxford Publish) system is accountable for strategic direction, development and the regular upgrade programme. This role is critical in ensuring that Biblio is effectively owned and managed from a business point of view, and that changes match and anticipate business need. Alignment of business priorities and technology outcomes is a vital part of the role in managing the Biblio application roadmap and backlog as well as part of projects and programmes as required. The role holder will work closely with business owners to understand business priorities and direction, working with the Publishing Solutions Analyst and Technology colleagues to ensure that requirements are translated into features and changes that will enable the most effective delivery of business priorities and add maximum value. Biblio is upgraded every 10 weeks or so, and the role holder will work closely with the developers and the business to ensure that new features are understood and UAT is completed. The role holder must be an agent of change who is able to deliver in a pragmatic, personable way; an effective communicator who can work with stakeholders at all levels of the business to understand both technology and business perspectives and bridge the gap between the two. The role is responsible for supporting the business from a training and process support perspective, ensuring users are trained (through the Biblio Trainer) in any new functionality.
