About The Role

As a Product Owner, you will be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of product workstreams, acting as the bridge between Product Managers and the development teams. While the Product Manager focuses more on leading the relevant product vision and strategy and generating impactful roadmaps, your role will be to ensure flawless execution of that body of work in conjunction with your Product Engineering team. That includes owning requirements and Acceptance Criteria, grooming the backlog and helping deliver quality software to market.

Additionally, you will own and lead well defined projects, as agreed with the Product Manager, to deliver incremental value toward the Product and Technology department’s goals. Ultimately, the Product Manager and the Product Owner collaborate to deliver world class outcomes for our business.
