Product Owner

About the Role

We are a custom business application consultancy looking for a Product Owner to serve as the connective tissue between client stakeholders and engineering in advancing product goals.

This is an on-site position in Spring Hill, Tennessee.

This role is responsible for creating clarity in ambiguous environments. You will lead client-facing discovery, help shape product direction, and work closely with engineering to ensure that what is proposed is feasible and right for the client in the long term.

Our operating model as a consultancy relies on product owners who can partner closely with clients and confidently represent product decisions. You will be empowered to make decisions within your domain and expected to communicate those decisions clearly and professionally with stakeholders.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a systems thinker who can intuitively design solutions that simplify and enhance business processes. They make difficult but intelligent choices for prioritization in the interest of our clients’ success while simultaneously managing their expectations. This person is a highly-effective communicator and feels comfortable in both business and technical conversations. They are able to zoom out to understand enterprise-level constraints and zoom in to identify issues with data structures and workflow logic. This candidate is motivated by solving challenging problems and rapidly absorbs domain knowledge to help them do so.
