• Translate business needs into structured product requirements, user scenarios, and acceptance criteria, accounting for user roles, access permissions, process stages, notifications, and reporting.

• Define, maintain, and communicate the product roadmap while managing the full product delivery lifecycle, from discovery and planning to implementation and outcome evaluation.

• Coordinate developers, designers, QA specialists, and business stakeholders to ensure effective collaboration and timely delivery.

• Work with the IT department to audit existing tools, systems, and integrations, identifying opportunities for improvement or replacement.

• Provide the business owner with estimates, insights, and data needed to support business planning and decision‑making.

• Prepare and coordinate the transition plan from existing tools to the new platform, including relevant implementation and adoption activities.

• Analyze platform usage and user feedback, evaluate usability, and measure the impact of product solutions on process efficiency.

• Regularly report to the business owner on progress, outcomes, deviations, risks, and decisions requiring approval.

Requirements:

• At least 5 years of experience as a Product Owner or in a similar product management role.

• Proven experience managing the complete product lifecycle, from identifying business needs through implementation and results evaluation.

• Ability to translate requests from non‑technical stakeholders into clear, actionable requirements for development teams.

• Experience working with products involving complex workflows, configurations, data models, or access‑control systems.

• Strong expertise in product roadmap development, backlog and task management, and prioritization across multiple stakeholder groups.

• Practical experience with Agile and Scrum methodologies.

• Proven ability to coordinate cross‑functional teams and build alignment without direct managerial authority.

• Understanding of web systems, APIs, and integrations, as well as user experience and interface design fundamentals.

• Ability to work with data, define success metrics, and communicate findings and outcomes clearly.

• Strong ownership, autonomy within agreed responsibilities, accountability for results, and a proactive approach to identifying risks and proposing solutions.

• Experience in HRTech, FinTech, business process automation, or internal corporate systems is an advantage.

• Familiarity with modular platforms covering multiple functional areas is a plus.

• Experience replacing enterprise systems, migrating data, or introducing new products to end users is desirable.

• Understanding of personal data protection principles and role‑based access management is beneficial.

Benefits:

• Fully remote working arrangements, with the option to work from hubs in Kyiv or Warsaw.

• 20 paid days off per year, in addition to public holidays and sick leave.

• Medical insurance with access to leading healthcare providers.

• Coverage for psychological support through the Pleso platform.

• Monthly flexible benefits allowance that can be used for personal interests, hobbies, sports, and other eligible expenses.

• Individual learning and development budget for courses and professional training.

• Corporate English classes, workshops, and access to an online learning library.

• Mentorship programs, training opportunities, and structured career development supported by Performance Reviews.
