Product Owner

• The Product Manager sets priorities gathers business requirements and defines the why and the what at a business level.
• The Product Owner (this role) translates those requirements into delivery-ready work manages the backlog and lifecycle coordinates releases and communicates capacity and status the how and the when.

• Translate prioritized business requirements from the Product Manager into clear well-scoped user stories tasks and acceptance criteria the team can act on without ambiguity.
• Maintain a healthy ordered backlog: keep upcoming work refined estimated and ready ahead of each sprint.
• Run backlog refinement and ensure every item has a clear definition of done before it enters development.
• Be the go-to person for clarifying scope and requirements during development resolving questions quickly to avoid blocking the team.

• Own the movement of work through the full lifecycle: quote/sizing sprint/development test/UAT scheduled release.
• Facilitate sizing and estimation with developers and help produce quotes/estimates where work has a client or commercial dimension.
• Coordinate sprint planning track in-flight work and surface blockers and risks early.
• Partner with the testing team to ensure clear testable acceptance criteria and a smooth well-defined UAT process.

• Plan and organize releases: group work into coherent releases sequence them sensibly and manage dependencies between items.
• Communicate team capacity throughput and realistic timelines to the Product Manager and stakeholders and set expectations when demand exceeds capacity.
• Maintain a clear current view of what is in progress what is scheduled and what is at risk.
• Coordinate release timing readiness checks and go/no-go decisions with development and testing.

• Identify when work affects clients and plan releases to minimize disruption timing sequencing and communication of changes.
• Coordinate change communication so internal stakeholders (and where relevant clients) know what is changing and when.
• Raise the bar on UAT discipline and release readiness for anything client-facing where the cost of defects is higher.

• Scope and shepherd integration and ETL work involving client-specific APIs and systems writing clear specifications against external interfaces and data.
• Actively manage external-dependency risk: work that relies on a clients API environment data quality or availability carries timeline risk that must be planned for and communicated.
• Coordinate with clients and internal engineers to confirm integration requirements data mappings and acceptance expectations before build.

• Write metric-based acceptance criteria (e.g. accuracy confidence thresholds exception/escalation rates) rather than simple pass/fail criteria.
• Treat data as a first-class dependency training/test data labeling data quality and privacy/governance not just code.
• Account for higher uncertainty in sizing: AI work is more discovery- and spike-driven so estimates are softer and expectations must be set accordingly.
• Plan for probabilistic output: stronger human-in-the-loop review during UAT and a done that may include ongoing monitoring (e.g. model drift retraining).

• Minimum 3 to 5 years of experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager with hands-on experience working in Agile/Scrum environments.
• Experience as a Product Owner delivery lead project/program manager or similar role responsible for moving work through a development lifecycle.
• Strong skills in writing clear requirements and acceptance criteria and breaking large needs into well-scoped schedulable work.
• Demonstrated ability to plan and coordinate releases and communicate capacity and timelines to stakeholders.
• Comfort working with a small development and testing team in an agile/iterative environment.
• Enough technical literacy to scope integration/ETL and API-based work and have credible conversations with engineers.
• Excellent written and verbal communication and a detail-oriented organized working style.

• Experience in B2B SaaS document processing or accounts payable / invoice automation domains.
• Familiarity with client-facing delivery and managing change in a way that minimizes client disruption.
• Exposure to AI/ML product work and comfort defining metric-based success criteria for it.
• Hands-on experience with data integration APIs or ETL pipelines.
• Familiarity with agile tooling for backlog sprint and release tracking.

• Work enters development with clear testable acceptance criteria and developer questions during a sprint drop noticeably.
• Releases are planned sequenced and communicated predictably with fewer surprises and minimal client disruption.
• Stakeholders have a clear trusted view of team capacity and realistic timelines.
• AI and integration projects are scoped with appropriate expectations around uncertainty and external dependencies.
