Ship Owner Representative Jobs in Georgia (NOW HIRING)

We move the world's workforce, building the technology that gets thousands of FIFO workers home safely, on time, every day. This role sits at the heart of that mission. The Principal Product Owner, Workforce Travel Solutions is a senior, hands-on delivery role with direct accountability for shaping and shipping the products that power workforce travel for customers in the mining, oil, and gas sectors. You will own the backlog, lead discovery, and drive execution for our One Touch initiative and a connected platform that automates the full travel chain from roster to return. This is not a strategy-only role. You will be in the detail: writing stories, running workshops with enterprise customers, making scope calls, and ensuring the squad ships outcomes that matter. You will also operate with more autonomy and customer exposure than a standard Product Owner, and you will play a meaningful role in shaping product direction alongside the Head of Product Development.
