The POS / Back Office / E-Payment domain is a critical operational technology area covering in-store point of sale systems, back office processing, and electronic payment capabilities across Makro Thailand. The Senior Product Owner will take ownership of this domain — currently underserved with only a Tech Lead and Junior PM — and evolve into the primary domain SME and product owner for this space.
In addition to the Thailand scope, this role will lead the Makro Philippines POS / Back Office initiative, where vendor has been onboarded and discovery sessions are underway. The person in this role will be the primary PIC for vendor governance and requirements alignment for the Philippines programme.

● Lead the Makro Philippines POS/Back Office initiative — drive vendor governance, requirements alignment, and discovery with Vendor
● Define and prioritize features and system enhancements in close collaboration with Store Operations, Finance, and IT teams
● Write PRDs, manage the product backlog, and deliver features in close partnership with the tech team
