The ideal candidate will have big ideas and strategies that foster an environment of collaboration and creativity. We need someone who has an entrepreneurial mindset for distilling business value and goals into roadmaps and refined product backlogs. Most important, we need a product owner who can help us build better products that people love to use. 

Regardless of role, we expect excellent interpersonal and communication skills across all hires at Collins Aerospace.
