Contract

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Senior Technical Product Owner / Digital Product Lead to direct the digital product strategy, platform architecture, and roadmap execution for a leading national multifamily property management and development firm.

In this role, you will own the product lifecycle from initial discovery and user journey mapping through technical backlog grooming, sprint delivery, and post-launch optimization. You will serve as the strategic bridge connecting executive real estate operations stakeholders with technical engineering squads to deliver best‑class resident experiences and operational efficiencies.

Key Responsibilities

• Product Strategy & Roadmap Ownership: Define and manage multi‑quarter digital roadmaps that balance resident digital experience, on‑site leasing/operational needs, and key business drivers (retention, digital conversion, NOI).
• Technical Backlog Management: Translate high‑level business goals into detailed functional requirements, technical user stories, acceptance criteria, and API/data flow specifications within Jira.
• Agile Governance & Delivery Leadership: Partner closely with engineering leads, UI/UX designers, and QA teams to run sprint ceremonies (planning, refinement, retrospectives, release sign-offs), ensuring high‑velocity, reliable software delivery.
• PropTech Ecosystem & Integrations: Oversee complex integrations between public‑facing websites/resident portals and core property management backends (e.g., Yardi, RealPage, Entrata, CRM systems, payment gateways, and identity providers).
• Stakeholder Alignment: Serve as the trusted product authority for cross‑functional leadership across Marketing, Property Operations, IT, and Asset Management—communicating technical trade‑offs, scope boundaries, and delivery timelines clearly.
• Product Analytics & Continuous Optimization: Track digital engagement metrics, leasing funnels, and resident feedback to iterate features and improve overall platform performance post‑launch.

Candidate Qualifications

• Experience: 12–15+ years of digital product ownership or technical product management experience delivering enterprise‑grade web and mobile applications.
• Real Estate / Multifamily Domain Expertise: Proven experience within Real Estate, Property Management, or PropTech (e.g., multifamily housing portals, leasing platforms, property operations software).
• Technical Acumen: Strong working knowledge of modern architectures, API integrations (REST/GraphQL), cloud platforms (AWS/Azure), data flows, and CMS ecosystems.
• Agile Mastery: Hands‑on expertise with Agile/Scrum frameworks, backlog prioritization frameworks (e.g., WSJF, MoSCoW), and enterprise Jira/Confluence workflows.
• Executive Presence: Proven ability to manage competing enterprise stakeholder priorities, negotiate scope boundaries and lead distributed delivery teams.
