The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value delivered by the team, ensuring alignment to business objectives, and continuously refining the team backlog to meet customer and market needs.

You will partner closely with Product Managers to understand strategy and vision, and then translate that into actionable backlogs and stories that guide Agile development teams. You will ensure requirements are clearly defined, prioritized, and continuously refined, helping teams deliver high-quality solutions in alignment with customer and business outcomes.

• Feature Definition: Translate high-level features and epics into detailed user stories with acceptance criteria. Ensure stories are testable, valuable, and feasible.
• Customer-Centric Decision Making: Use customer insights, feedback, and data to inform priorities and trade-offs.
• Dependency & Risk Management: Identify dependencies across teams, escalate blockers, and support trade-off decisions to meet commitments.
• Continuous Improvement: Champion Agile practices, support team collaboration, and contribute to a culture of curiosity, respect, and accountability.
• Metrics & Outcomes: Define and track relevant product metrics, ensuring delivered features achieve desired business and customer outcomes.
• Release Readiness: Support feature validation, documentation, and release activities to ensure successful delivery to customers.

• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams, including engineering, QA, UX, and business stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to balance business priorities and technical trade-offs.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; able to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
