Product Owner Temps Plein

On behalf of our client, a Vancouver-based digital consulting firm specializing in custom digital products and platforms, we are seeking a Product Owner to join a highly collaborative, design-led delivery team. Our client partners with ambitious organizations to architect, design, and build complex digital products - including web platforms, mobile applications, and AI-enabled solutions. Their teams work in close, embedded collaboration with clients, leading discovery, validating early, and making thoughtful trade-offs to ship high-quality, maintainable products.
This role is based in the Greater Vancouver Area and follows a hybrid model (minimum three days per week in-office).
As a Product Owner, you will support product clarity from early discovery through delivery, operating at the intersection of user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility. You will help translate ambiguity into actionable product direction for both clients and delivery teams.
You will play an active part in product thinking, discovery, UX decision-making, and client conversations — ensuring that product strategy and design intent are preserved throughout execution.
This role is well suited to someone who thrives in client-facing consulting environments and enjoys shaping how software is experienced, not just how work is tracked.
Define and prioritize requirements based on user value, business impact, risk, and delivery constraints
Make and communicate trade-off decisions around scope, sequencing, and quality
Ensure acceptance criteria and desired outcomes are clearly defined prior to development
UX & Design Collaboration
Contribute to UX and UI direction from concept through delivery, ensuring usability, accessibility, and coherence
Define user flows, interaction patterns, and interface direction that balance user needs with technical realities
Work closely with designers and engineers to ensure design intent is preserved through implementation
Provide ongoing product and design guidance during implementation
Identify risks early and collaborate with the team on mitigation strategies
Communicate progress, decisions, and risks clearly and proactively
Continuous Improvement & AI Fluency
Exposure to project management fundamentals (timelines, dependencies, risk management, stakeholder reporting)
~ UX/UI background — comfortable collaborating closely with designers and contributing to flows or wireframes when needed

Strong understanding of Agile practices (Scrum, Kanban) applied pragmatically
Experience collaborating closely with engineers on feasibility, trade-offs, and delivery planning
Design & Quality
Solid foundation in user-centered design principles (information architecture, interaction design, accessibility)
Experience building or contributing to accessible products aligned with WCAG standards
Strong judgment in applying AI responsibly to enhance quality and efficiency (not replace critical thinking)
Contract-to-hire (4 months), then conversion to full-time
