is expected to bring strong judgment, disciplined prioritization, attention to
delivery quality, and the ability to keep teams aligned on scope, progress, and

* Own and maintain the product backlog, ensuring epics, features, user stories,
and acceptance criteria are clear, prioritized, and aligned to product
strategy, customer needs, and company goals.
* Lead scrum practices for the team, including backlog refinement, sprint
planning, daily collaboration, sprint reviews, and retrospectives in
partnership with engineering and scrum team members.
* Partner with engineering, design, QA, and stakeholders to translate business
needs into actionable requirements, sequencing work to maximize value
delivery and team focus.
* Make day-to-day prioritization decisions across new feature development,
technical enablers, customer commitments, and production issues, balancing
business value, urgency, and feasibility.
* Drive defect management processes, including triage, prioritization,
root-cause follow-up, and communication on severity, impact, and resolution
status.
* Support release planning and readiness by coordinating scope, validating
completion against acceptance criteria, and ensuring clear communication of
release content, timing, risks, and downstream impacts.
* Serve as the primary point of clarity for the delivery team by answering
requirement questions, removing ambiguity, and helping the team make timely
decisions during the sprint.
* Use product, operational, and customer feedback data to inform backlog
priorities, continuous improvement opportunities, and post-release
adjustments.
* Communicate sprint progress, backlog tradeoffs, release updates, and delivery
risks clearly to stakeholders across product, technology, and business teams.
* Help strengthen team ways of working by improving backlog hygiene, sprint
predictability, release discipline, and cross-functional coordination.

WHAT YOU NEED:

* Bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, computer science, information
systems, or a related field.
* 3+ years of experience in product ownership, product management, business
analysis, or a related role supporting agile software delivery, preferably in
a B2B environment.
* Hands-on experience managing and prioritizing product backlogs, writing user
stories, and defining acceptance criteria for delivery teams.
* Working knowledge of scrum practices and experience participating in sprint
planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, and retrospectives.
* Experience coordinating defect triage and resolution processes in partnership
with engineering and QA teams.
* Experience supporting release planning, release readiness, and stakeholder
communications for software deployments.
* Ability to evaluate competing priorities using customer impact, business
value, technical constraints, and delivery risk.
* Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills with the
ability to work effectively across technical and business teams.

PREFERRED SKILLS

* Strong understanding of agile delivery principles and the ability to maintain
a healthy, value-driven backlog.
* Ability to break down complex initiatives into clear stories, define done
criteria, and support consistent sprint execution.
* Experience partnering closely with engineering and QA to manage defects,
production issues, and release quality.
* Comfort communicating release scope, sprint outcomes, dependencies, and risks
to stakeholders in a concise and actionable way.
* Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and follow-through across
multiple workstreams and timelines.
* Experience helping teams improve delivery processes, backlog discipline, or
scrum maturity is a plus.
