About Us

At ANZ, we're shaping a world where people and communities thrive, driven by a common goal: to improve the financial wellbeing and sustainability of our millions of customers. About the Role

As the Product Owner – Microsegmentation, you will define the vision, roadmap, and delivery of segmentation capabilities helping prevent lateral movement and protect critical assets across on-prem and cloud platforms.

The Product Owner constantly prioritises tasks and squad(s)backlog(s)with the customer at the heart of their decision making.
