You will work cross-functionally to define use cases and user stories and acceptance criteria and will ‘own’ accepting these stories as part of the definition of done. You will own, prioritize, and groom the product backlog for your team and will collaborate with product managers, prospects, customers, and other stakeholders.

To be successful, you will need to be a great communicator and collaborator. You will work closely with product management, engineering, and user experience teams to develop product specifications and help engineering leads to articulate priorities and manage delivery trade-offs for each increment/release.

In addition to being an experienced Product Owner, our ideal candidate brings a fresh perspective, ideas for process improvement, resources, and artifacts, and is very comfortable challenging the status quo. It is also important to note that while we aspire to specialize as much as possible, we are still a small, scrappy team, where team members often carry additional responsibilities including things like technical support, quality assurance, technical project management, UX research, and more.
