Sr Product Owner - Asset Management - Remote

In this role, you will serve as the engine of product delivery-translating strategic visions and domain insights into crisp, actionable technical requirements for our engineering team. You will operate within a tight-knit core product squad alongside a Product Manager, a Rapid Prototype Designer, and a dedicated Subject Matter Expert (SME). While the Product Manager sets the overarching roadmap and strategic vision, you will own the day-to-day product backlog, sprint execution, feature clarity, and delivery quality to ensure the development team builds software that aligns precisely with business goals and user workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Backlog Management & Requirement Definition
  • Translate strategic roadmap items from the Product Manager and domain insights from the SME into clear, detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and workflow diagrams.
  • Build, groom, and prioritize the product backlog continuously to maintain a healthy queue of ready-to-work items for engineering.
• Development Team Interface & Execution
  • Serve as the primary, day-to-day point of contact for the engineering team, answering functional questions promptly to maintain dev velocity.
  • Facilitate or participate in core Agile ceremonies, including backlog refinement, sprint planning, daily standups, and sprint reviews.
  • Unblock development roadblocks by clarifying edge cases, defining validation rules, and making pragmatic tactical trade-offs in real time.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration & Quality Assurance
  • Partner closely with the Rapid Prototype Designer to ensure user stories align with visual prototypes and design specs prior to sprint commitment.
  • Review completed software builds against acceptance criteria to ensure delivered functionality matches design specifications and strategic intent.
  • Collaborate with the Product Manager to communicate sprint progress, evaluate scope trade-offs, and surface risks early.

Qualifications & Experience

• Experience: 3-5+ years as a Product Owner, Agile Business Analyst, or Technical Product Manager managing software deliverables in an Agile/Scrum environment.
• Agile Proficiency: Deep hands-on experience writing high-quality user stories, defining precise acceptance criteria (e.g., Given-When-Then / Gherkin format), and managing backlogs in tools like Jira, Aha!, etc.
• Technical & Design Literacy: Strong ability to interpret UI/UX design prototypes, flowcharts, and schema diagrams, translating them into technical implementation stories.
• Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; comfortable bridging the gap between business/SME domain concepts and technical engineering details.
• Problem-Solving: Proven track record of operating effectively within tactical problem spaces, making sound trade-off decisions, and keeping engineering teams focused and productive
