Product Owner-Supply Chain (Edgewing)

Product Owner - Supply Chain (Edgewing)

Join BAE Systems and become a pivotal part of our mission to protect what matters most. As a Product Owner within our Edgewing JV, you will be instrumental in shaping the future of defence technology.

The Product Owner ensures that supply-chain solutions align to programme objectives, adhere to architectural, regulatory, and compliance standards, and integrate cleanly with enterprise platforms such as identity, data services, core engineering, and wider domain systems. You’ll drive clarity, alignment, and informed decision-making across stakeholders to ensure that supply-chain capabilities are delivered with quality, predictability, and measurable value.

Core Duties:

• Curate, prioritise, and manage the product backlog across supply chain domains—including procurement, inventory management, warehousing, logistics, and planning.
• Monitor supplier and delivery team performance, ensuring outputs align with milestones, non-functional requirements and contractual obligations; drive corrective actions where quality, compliance, or performance risks arise across supply chain capabilities.
• Partner with Testing, QA, and delivery teams to ensure robust test strategies—including functional, non-functional, integration, and UAT—supported by full traceability from requirements to test cases, execution, and outcomes across supply chain workflows and end-to-end processes.
• Collaborate closely with Business Analysts, Architecture, and Security to refine requirements, validate scope, and design robust, compliant solutions and integration patterns (including SAP S/4HANA, identity and access models, and master data flows), ensuring seamless delivery across multidisciplinary supply chain, SAP, data, and integration teams.

Essential Skills:

• Demonstrable product ownership experience delivering supply chain capabilities within a major programme.
• Working knowledge of supply chain platforms and processes along with an understanding of regulatory/compliance requirements.
• SAP S/4HANA and integration patterns (e.g., master data flows, identity/access models, logistics and warehouse integrations, performance and resilience considerations).
• Team leadership experience.
