Job Description

This is a remote position.

Experience Level

We're looking for a seasoned Product Owner with at least 2–4 years of experience owning a product backlog end-to-end within an Agile delivery environment. You should be a "delivery craftsperson" who can demonstrate a track record of turning ambiguous, cross-team requirements into shipped, working software — with particular comfort operating inside platforms where your product's success depends on coordination with teams you don't manage.

Role Overview

As a Product Owner, you will own the backlog and delivery cadence for one product within a tightly interconnected platform, where your product's roadmap depends on — and feeds into — several sibling products. You'll act as the point of alignment between engineering teams, supporting product managers, and client stakeholders, translating business and compliance needs into backlog items ready for a development team to execute against.

A key part of the role is holding the line on requirements quality: defining clear acceptance criteria before work enters a sprint, and sequencing competing demands — new features, maintenance of live services, and production support — that your team carries simultaneously. Because your product does not operate in isolation, a large part of the job is coordinating dependencies across teams that don't report to you.

Key Responsibilities

- Backlog Ownership & Requirements Definition: Own and prioritize the product backlog; define acceptance criteria for accuracy, completeness, and readiness before stories are marked sprint-ready.
- Cross-Team Dependency Coordination: Sequence and negotiate delivery across multiple dependent engineering teams (platform, integration, infrastructure, and adjacent product teams),



since most features require multi-team scheduling rather than single-team execution.
- Delivery Prioritization Under Competing Demands: Balance recent feature development, maintenance of live production services, and active production support within the same backlog, without letting one silently starve the others.
- Domain Ramp-Up: Build working depth in the specific technical and regulatory domain tied to your assigned product — this may include healthcare EDI transaction standards, web-automation/data-extraction reliability, credential and access-security models, or regulated payments and remittance processing, depending on placement.
- Stakeholder & Requirements Governance: Partner with the supporting Product Manager and client-side stakeholders to close open requirement decisions before development starts, hold sign-off discipline, and manage rework risk from late-stage scope changes.
- Data & Interface Quality Ownership: Where your product's output feeds downstream systems, own the interface contract (field definitions, data completeness, naming) to prevent avoidable rework further down the chain.

Requirements

What We're Looking For

- Proven Product Ownership Experience: Track record owning a backlog end-to-end in an Agile environment, ideally within a platform where products are tightly coupled rather than independent.
- Domain Adaptability:



Comfort ramping quickly into unfamiliar technical or regulatory domains — some assignments require near-immediate fluency (e.g., regulated payments, EDI standards), while others allow for a longer runway.
- Cross-Functional Coordination Skills: Demonstrated ability to sequence work and resolve competing priorities across multiple engineering teams that don't report into the same chain.
- Analytical Rigor: Ability to write precise, testable acceptance criteria and reason through data quality or completeness gaps before they become delivery blockers.
- Strong Stakeholder Communication: Comfortable representing product status and trade-offs to both engineering teams and client-facing stakeholders, in plain, non-technical language when needed.
- Judgment Under Ambiguity: Able to recognize when a decision needs escalation versus independent ownership — particularly important for the more regulation-heavy assignments, where working without senior support isn't advisable early on.
