Schedule: Hybrid - onsite Tuesday through Thursday; virtual Monday and Friday

Location: Fort Worth, TX

If your product ownership experience has been centered specifically around mobile applications, this is the kind of role where that experience matters.

Swoon is partnering with a major U.S. airline on an Associate Product Owner opportunity supporting its mobile customer channel. This team owns the foundation behind the airline’s mobile applications and works across Product, Engineering, UX, Analytics, and Architecture to build and improve features used throughout the customer journey.

The team is specifically looking for someone who has personally owned mobile product work - not simply supported a broader digital product that happened to include an app.

You’ll be working across roadmap priorities, backlog management, user stories, technical dependencies, feature delivery, defects, and post-launch measurement. That means understanding both the customer experience and what has to happen technically behind the scenes to get a feature into production.

What you’ll get to work on:

• Own and prioritize mobile product work across the roadmap and backlog based on business objectives, customer needs, and measurable outcomes.
• Help deliver new features and capabilities across both iOS and Android applications.
• Translate product objectives into clear user stories and technical requirements that engineering teams can execute against.
• Partner closely with engineers, architects, UX, and Analytics to understand dependencies across APIs, backend systems, and other platforms supporting the mobile experience.
• Participate throughout the Agile delivery lifecycle, including backlog grooming, iteration planning, stand-ups, demos, story acceptance, and release activities.
• Work through the less glamorous but important side of product ownership as well - troubleshooting production issues, prioritizing defects, and balancing fixes against enhancements and larger feature initiatives.
• Define and track metrics around mobile releases to understand whether features are actually improving customer behavior and product outcomes.
• Evaluate mobile technologies and third-party tools, including potential SDKs, that could expand or improve application capabilities.
• Partner across other product teams whose customer experiences ultimately need to surface through the mobile channel.

You’ll be a strong fit if you have:

• 3+ years of relevant professional experience with hands-on product ownership responsibilities.
• Direct experience owning a mobile application or meaningful mobile product area, including roadmap/backlog ownership, prioritization, user stories, and delivery.
• A solid understanding of mobile application technology and experience working across both iOS and Android environments.
• Enough technical depth to work comfortably with Engineering and Architecture around APIs, backend integrations, system dependencies, and how mobile features actually get into production.
• Strong analytical experience and the ability to connect a feature launch to measurable outcomes rather than considering delivery itself the finish line.
• Experience working within Agile/software development environments and partnering closely with technical delivery teams.
• The ability to communicate clearly across technical and nontechnical groups and keep stakeholders aligned on priorities, progress, tradeoffs, and outcomes.

Experience with airline, travel, e-commerce, reservation/booking systems, or other products that depend on multiple interconnected systems would be especially relevant. Experience selecting or implementing third-party mobile SDKs is also a plus.

This is less of a general digital Product Owner role and more specifically focused on mobile product ownership. If your background is primarily web, internal enterprise applications, or project/program management without direct ownership of an iOS/Android product, this likely won’t be the strongest match.

The team works onsite Tuesday through Thursday, with Monday and Friday virtual. The interview process includes an initial virtual conversation followed by an onsite second round.
