Job Description

We are looking for an Associate Product Owner to support Portfolio Strategy & Operations within a domain. This role focuses on day-to-day delivery mechanics - backlog readiness, coordination, documentation, and operational rigor-so the team can deliver consistent, high-quality data products.

You will partner with Senior Product Owners, delivery teams (Analytics Engineering, BI/Insights, Data Science, NLP), and business stakeholders to translate needs into well-defined work, support releases, and help drive adoption through feedback loops.

Responsibilities

• Own backlog hygiene and readiness: draft epics/user stories, clarify acceptance criteria, and ensure work is delivery-ready for execution sprints.
• Coordinate delivery mechanics: support refinement, planning, demos, and working sessions; track actions, dependencies, and risks (RAID).
• Collaborate closely with technical teams (Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, BI/Insights, Data Science/NLP) to clarify requirements, manage dependencies, and ensure solutions are feasible, high-quality, and delivered on time
• Support demand shaping by gathering inputs, documenting workflows, and preparing problem statements and success measures for Sr PO review.
• Coordinate release readiness and change enablement artifacts (release notes, training inputs, UAT coordination, rollout checklists).
• Capture post-release feedback and product health signals; maintain an improvement backlog and support iteration cycles.
• Support AI/GenAI pilots and adoption readiness (test plans, user feedback capture, documentation) to help move intelligent capabilities from prototype to practical use.

Qualifications

Required:

• Demonstrated ability to translate business needs into structured requirements, epics, or user stories with clear acceptance criteria.
• Experience supporting data/analytics projects or products - working with datasets, KPIs/metrics, reporting/BI, and partnering with technical teams to deliver data-driven solutions
• Experience coordinating cross-functional work (product operations, business analysis, project/program support, analytics delivery, or similar).
• Strong interest in data, analytics, and AI-enabled products; comfortable learning new tools and concepts quickly.
• Excellent organization and communication skills; ability to coordinate stakeholders and keep work moving.
• Comfort working in an agile environment and using common delivery tools (e.g., Jira/Confluence or equivalents).

Preferred:

• Working knowledge of SQL and ability to validate outputs with analysts/engineers
• Experience with BI & Data Science tools (e.g., Power BI, Data Bricks, AWS) and/or analytics engineering concepts (e.g., dbt, semantic layers).
• Familiarity with AI/GenAI concepts or tools (e.g., prompting, copilots, NLP), and interest in responsible AI practices.
• Experience supporting business process improvement or shared service workflows in any function.
