Sr Product Owner - ArcGIS Hub

Overview

At Esri, we make the world's most powerful software that accelerates decision-making by unlocking the crucial context of location. ArcGIS Hub is an engagement platform that organizes people around events, projects, idea boards, and initiatives using data-driven collaboration tools.

Our customers are solving some of the world's most complex problems such as climate change, supply chain resilience, public health, and social equity. We build technology to support their work and help define our collective future. Our customers are the inspiration for everything we do. **

About The Role**

Interested in working on a product with scale that enables thousands of customers to create change in their community?

ArcGIS Hub is a web platform that empowers customers to connect with their communities, share data, and collaborate using location-based tools. With over a hundred million impressions last year alone, it is fast becoming the de facto product of choice for organizations to collaborate on and showcase their work.

While we are a highly collaborative team, feature development for ArcGIS Hub is segmented into the following product areas:

• Collaboration establishes the framework for how people organize around their near-term and aspirational goals
• Discovery breaks down barriers by bringing people and content together through search, suggestions, and high-quality information
• Engagement delivers action and insights through discussions, events, maps, and other forms of visualizations
• Sites enable customers to establish the digital playground for all of this to occur, including the ability to brand and share

We are seeking a Product Owner who is able to break down complex problems into clear actions to drive product development. You will work cross-functionally to guide feature development from conception to launch by connecting the technical, user experience, and business worlds.
