You translate platform vision and stakeholder needs into a well-prioritized, well-understood backlog and make sure the right things get built and delivered.\nYou own the backlog day to day: refining and prioritizing, clarifying requirements, accepting work, and keeping a coherent line from business need to delivered increment across development, operations, and quality. You are the on-site decision-anchor in India for the platform, closely aligned with the Munich Product Owner.\nSpecial (ramp-up phase): in addition to the steady Proxy Product Owner role, this position carries a time-boxed Transition Management responsibility while the Hub India delivery is being built up and platform responsibility is being established locally.

make and communicate transparent trade-offs.\nStakeholder Communication - keep business units, the Product Owner, and the teams aligned through clear, regular communication across time zones.\n Transition Management (time-boxed, ramp-up phase) - coordinate the build-up of ZA Hub India delivery and the establishment of local platform responsibility; drive knowledge transfer from Munich/existing parties; track transition milestones and risks; hand over into the steady operating model and wind this stream down once complete.\nMust have technical skill\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Informatics, Engineering, or a related field.\n10+ years in product ownership, business analysis, requirements engineering, or a proxy/associate product owner role.\nHands-on backlog management and writing user stories with clear acceptance criteria.\nStrong requirements elicitation and stakeholder management with both technical and business audiences.\nSolid agile delivery experience (Scrum/Kanban) - refinement, planning, reviews, acceptance.\nAble to make pragmatic product decisions and trade-offs within an agreed mandate.\nTechnical fluency to engage credibly with development and operations on an enterprise platform (APIs, integrations, environments, releases).\nExcellent communication and facilitation skills in a distributed setup across time zones.\nExperience with an ALM/issue-tracking tool (Codebeamer strongly preferred; or JIRA, Polarion, Azure DevOps).\nFluent in English (written and spoken); German is a plus.\nGood to have technical skills\nHands-on Codebeamer experience (configuration awareness, workflows, trackers, reporting).\nExperience as a proxy/associate PO bridging an onshore PO and an offshore delivery team.\nDomain knowledge in ALM/PLM and requirements management in an automotive context.\nKnowledge of BMW IT processes and the system landscape.\nExperience operating in a hybrid/cloud transformation (Azure/OCI).\nCertifications - CSPO/PSPO, SAFe PO/PM, or IREB (requirements engineering).\nFamiliarity with SAFe or scaled-agile delivery in distributed Germany-India setups.\nTransition / migration experience - building up an offshore delivery capability and establishing local responsibility (knowledge transfer, ramp-up, hand-over to a steady operating model).\nExperience coordinating across development, operations, and quality for end-to-end delivery.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4881,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Information Technology","Autonomous Driving"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T08:16:01Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-26T22:44:21Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bmw-techworks-india-proxy-product-owner-codebeamer-platform","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bmw-techworks-india-proxy-product-owner-codebeamer-platform.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T18:16:43Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8174,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4445239},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4445239"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbmw-techworks-india-proxy-product-owner-codebeamer-platform"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbmw-techworks-india-proxy-product-owner-codebeamer-platform"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbmw-techworks-india-proxy-product-owner-codebeamer-platform"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bmw-techworks-india-proxy-product-owner-codebeamer-platform\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbmw-techworks-india-proxy-product-owner-codebeamer-platform"}]}
