  • Review and assess sprint progress during sprint reviews, gathering feedback from the development team and stakeholders to adjust priorities and refine the product backlog as needed.
  • Product Launch and Sales / Marketing Support :

  • Collaborate with sales & marketing teams to develop and execute comprehensive product launch plans, ensuring alignment with overall business objectives and market strategies.

  • Demonstrated success utilizing Agile program management, estimation, and delivery methodologies.
  • Working knowledge of JIRA, Confluence, and the Microsoft 365 product suite.
  • Business Acumen :

  • Understanding of applicable metrics that ensure product profitability and cost‑effectiveness.
  • Deep understanding of customer behavior and requirements to drive user‑centric product development.
  • Leadership Skills :

  • Communication and Collaboration :

  • Ability to make data‑driven decisions and prioritize tasks effectively.
  • Experience in navigating complex challenges and finding innovative solutions.
  • Change Management :

  • Ability to manage and adapt to changes in project scope, timelines, and priorities.
  • Skilled in communicating changes and impacts to stakeholders and the governance board. You know when to alert and when to contain.
  • Certifications and Training :

  • 5+ years of experience in product management with a proven record of accomplishment.
  • Strong growth mindset with a commitment to continuous learning, professional development, and staying current with industry trends and best practices.
  • Relevant certifications such as Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO), Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO), SAFe Product Owner / Product Manager (POPM), Agile Certified Product Manager and Product Owner (ACPMPO) or PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI‑ACP) are highly desirable and demonstrate best practices and industry expertise.

  • Tools and technology provided (laptop, headset, monitors) to set you up for success.
  • A supportive environment that values your growth, success, and contributions to our customers’ achievements.
  • We welcome and encourage applications from all qualified individuals who can contribute to the continued diversification of our organization, including those from equity‑deserving groups that have been historically underrepresented in the workforce.
