Information TechnologyWe are looking for a Senior Product Owner to drive execution across our digital platform teams. This is a hands-on role, not a stakeholder-management-only position: you will own the backlog, write genuinely technical user stories, and orchestrate work across Backend, Frontend, Integration (MuleSoft), and DevOps teams to turn business asks into shipped software.
You will lead projects and processes of diverse scope, working independently with limited supervision, and serve as the connective tissue between customers, business stakeholders, and distributed engineering teams.

• Translate business and customer requests into clear, actionable work for engineering - decomposing them into well-structured epics, features, and user stories in partnership with our Agile teams
• Write technical and API-level user stories with the depth engineers need to build against; this is a core requirement of the role, not a nice-to-have
• Own and drive backlog refinement, sprint planning inputs, and prioritization within an Agile framework
• Coordinate delivery across a horizontally structured technical organization (Backend, Frontend, MuleSoft/Integrations, DevOps), managing cross-team dependencies and sequencing work so it lands in the right order
• Drive execution day to day - unblocking teams, tracking progress, and holding the line on scope and quality
• Coach and review the work of less experienced product professionals, raising the bar for story quality and product practices across the team
• Support continuous improvement and automation initiatives across the delivery process
• Apply advanced analytical and technical problem-solving to develop new solutions to existing problems and procedures
• Build and maintain strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders through clear communication and effective negotiation
• Perform other duties as assigned

What You'll Bring

• Proven experience as a Product Owner or similar role on technical products, with demonstrated ability to write technical and API user stories
• Experience working across horizontally structured engineering organizations (Backend, Frontend, integration platforms such as MuleSoft, and DevOps)
• Strong track record working with remote and offshore development teams across time zones
• Deep fluency in Agile practices, including backlog ownership, refinement, and story decomposition (epics features stories)
• Ability to lead projects of diverse scope independently, with limited supervision
• Strong communication and negotiation skills with both technical teams and business stakeholders
• Experience coaching or mentoring junior product or delivery professionals
• Willingness to travel as needed, including internationally

Working Style

• This role suits someone who is energized by execution: comfortable in the details of a dependency map, confident challenging a vague requirement, and happiest when a complex piece of cross-team work ships on time because they made it happen.

• Typically requires a minimum of 5 years of related experience with a bachelor's degree; or 3 years and a master's degree; or a PhD without experience; or equivalent work experience.
