Job Description

As the Product Owner, you maximize product value by owning the backlog and guiding day-to day delivery decisions. You partner with Product Manager to steward the vision and translate strategy into a clear outcome roadmap and prioritized work. You are the primary bridge between stakeholders and the delivery team, ensuring each increment delivers measurable customer and business outcomes.

Duties and Responsibilities

Backlog Ownership

  • Maintain a single, ordered backlog (features, user stories, enhancements), balancing value, risk, and dependencies.

  • Define/evolve acceptance criteria and collaborate on Definition of Ready / Definition of Done / Definition of Delivery.

Requirements & User Stories

  • Elicit, refine, and validate requirements with stakeholders and users.

  • Write clear, testable user stories with example-based acceptance criteria; slice work into thin, valuable increments.

Planning & Delivery Support

  • Collaborate with the team on release and iteration planning (scope, milestones, acceptance criteria).

  • Respect iteration commitments; when priorities shift, negotiate changes for the next sprint.

Stakeholder Engagement

  • Act as the primary point of contact for stakeholders: communicate progress, gather feedback, and manage expectations.

  • Use fit-for-purpose artifacts (story maps, impact maps, value proposition canvas) to align decisions.

Acceptance & Validation

  • Review and accept completed PBIs against acceptance criteria; verify customer value and launch readiness.

  • Continuous Discovery & Learning

  • Champion the voice of the customer via interviews, observation, journey mapping, and feedback loops.

  • Convert insights into backlog changes, experiments/spikes, or de-prioritization when warranted.

Metrics & Risk

  • Track outcome and flow metrics (HEART, funnels/retention, cycle time), and use data to prioritize and make trade-offs.

  • Surface risks, constraints, assumptions early, and drive mitigation or experiments. 8. Scrum Events & Collaboration

  • Sprint Planning: Co-create the Sprint Goal, present and order PBIs with clarify scope and acceptance criteria.

  • Daily Scrum: Be available for clarification

  • Sprint Review: Present outcomes of the increment and collect stakeholder feedback, and align next steps and backlog changes.

  • Sprint Retrospective: Participate candidly, and propose experiments to improve flow and value.

  • Backlog Refinement (ongoing): Lead the content slicing, acceptance criteria and priority.

Job Requirements

  • Minimum 2 years’ experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager in Agile software environments.

  • Strong command of Agile/Scrum or Kanban, backlog management, and acceptance-criteria writing.

  • Proven record delivering increments from concept to launch with measurable outcomes.

  • Excellent communication, facilitation, stakeholder management, and able to align cross functional teams.

  • Comfortable with data and experimentation (hypotheses, A/B tests, cohorts/funnels).

  • Tools: Jira, Confluence/Notion, Figma, discord

  • Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.

  • MBA, Agile or product certifications (e.g., IIBA® CPOA, CSPO/PSPO) are a plus.
