About The Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Product Owner to manage multiple client projects simultaneously. In this role, you will be the primary point of contact for our clients, translating their needs and vision into actionable requirements for our internal project management and technical teams. This role demands a unique blend of technical aptitude, communication skills, and the ability to drive projects forward independently.

Unlike typical Product Owner roles focused on detailed design and user flows, this position will concentrate on highly technical projects. You will be working with clients who are often operational, technical, and/or product-minded, but who rely on their internal teams to drive the product strategy and overall roadmap. You will serve as a crucial bridge between the client's vision and our technical execution.

This position requires someone who is more than just an "order taker." While the client provides the general direction, you must proactively engage in back-and-forth communication, collaborating to clarify requirements, uncover underlying needs, and prioritize effectively. You will be expected to contribute to the problem-solving process, leveraging your technical understanding to guide the client toward the best solutions.

Note: This role is similar to what some companies might call a Technical Product Manager or a Product Owner with a strong technical focus.

Responsibilities:

• Client Management: Serve as the primary point of contact for multiple clients, building strong relationships and managing expectations
• Requirements Gathering & Analysis: Elicit, analyze, and document client requirements, ensuring clarity and feasibility
• Technical Translation: Translate client needs into detailed specifications and user stories that can be understood and implemented by the development team
• Project Management: Manage the scope, schedule, and budget for multiple concurrent projects, ensuring on-time and within-budget delivery
• Collaboration & Communication: Facilitate clear and consistent communication between the client, project management, and technical teams
• Prioritization: Work with the client to prioritize features and tasks based on business value, technical feasibility, and resource availability

• Technical Understanding: Develop a strong understanding of the technical aspects of each project, enabling you to participate in technical discussions and guide decision-making
• Product Roadmap Contribution: Contribute to the client's product roadmap based on technical feasibility and insights gained from the development process
• Risk Assessment: Identify and assess potential technical risks, proposing mitigation strategies
