We expect you to:

Have at least 6 years of experience creating and developing digital products, with real examples of ambiguous problems that you have posed and solved. We will greatly appreciate examples in your CV.

Know the fundamentals of product design (UX/UI), customer journeys, user research, and prototyping, using Figma as a design tool.

CDO at Telefónica builds the digital products and platforms that drive Telefónica's future growth. Our main role is to anticipate the future and shape it. We fulfill this mission by identifying potential threats and anticipating how to leverage possible opportunities.

We are a team focused on key and strategic projects, prioritized alongside Telefónica's Operating Businesses (OBs) and measured by results, not by tasks performed. We work with a high-impact culture that you will recognize from day one: we give our best, we challenge our limits, and we grow together.

How will you contribute with your skills to the purpose of the role? 💼

You will operate in highly ambiguous environments, where problems are not fully defined and solutions must be built from first principles. Structuring complexity and making informed decisions in a timely manner is essential.

You will make fast decisions with autonomy, with few precedents and without established playbooks. This demands strong ownership, resilience, and a clear bias toward execution and impact.

You will alternate between executive conversations and very practical product and technical challenges, working with multidisciplinary teams.

What will your mission be? 🎯

You will anticipate customer problems before they become evident and convert customer knowledge into clear product decisions that others can follow.

You will define the vision and direction of your product alongside your technical and design leads, and you will align stakeholders around it before making significant bets.

You will lead discovery before delivery: you will pose the problem, question hypotheses, test them, and decide with incomplete information.

You will be responsible for the value case of your product area: you will judge which opportunities deserve effort now and which will generate compound value later, and you will negotiate priorities and roadmaps with partners.

You will lead execution in ambiguous environments. You will convert difficult trade-offs into a clear narrative and a level of quality against which the team can benchmark their work, and you will create and defend your Product Initiation Document (PID) and your Product Requirement Document (PRD).

You will maintain and prioritize the backlog alongside your Engineering Manager and teammates from the Data & AI team, and you will understand technical opportunities and limitations.

You will identify where technology, data, and AI create real value for the customer and define what quality means in AI-based experiences.

You will use your product data, together with our Digital Analytics team, to provide insights for every decision.

You will resolve conflicting positions between teams, bringing them to the level where the decision must be made, and you will escalate with context and a proposal when it falls above your scope.

You will raise the level around you: you will subject your own decisions and drafts to debate, you will review the work of less experienced colleagues and mentor them.

You will make problems your own before anyone assigns them to you, and you will know how to judge well which ones to take on and which to delegate to those best positioned to decide.
