Take-Two Interactive Software•Austin, TX

About The Position

We are looking for a Product Owner who will manage a platform of tools across the company and dive into complex problems and how we solve them with different technologies. We’re looking for a problem-solver who gets excited by the ambiguity of product discovery, loves talking directly to internal customers, and enjoys building the path forward rather than following one.

Requirements

3+ years as a Product Owner, ideally for enterprise SaaS platforms (Slack, Atlassian, G-Suite, Figma, etc.).
Experience with agile workflows (Scrum/Kanban)
Experience applying prioritization frameworks (RICE, WSJF, etc)
Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and APIs (SCIM Provisioning, AWS, GCP, Rest, etc.)
Ability to write simple scripts and use AI tools to generate working prototypes to accelerate your work
You can understand and validate pain-points with customers and get to the root cause of them to understand problems deeply.
You are also able to push back gracefully when something is not a priority.
You prefer running an experiment to prove a hypothesis with data points rather than writing a 50-page requirements document.
You can manage expectations with senior leadership regarding timelines and cost, advocating for a “Roadmap of Problems” rather than a rigid “Gantt Chart of Features”.
You thrive using tools like Jira, Slack, Confluence, and Miro to create structure and clarity without letting process get in the way of progress.

Nice To Haves

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Business, or a related field
Familiarity with LLM Infrastructure and APIs (Gemini Enterprise, AWS Bedrock, etc.)
Ability to read architecture diagrams and understand the difference between RAG and an AI Agent
Experience working with Enterprise SaaS vendors
Experience working in the video game industry is a plus

Responsibilities

Own the problem, not just the solution
Conduct customer interviews with stakeholder teams to validate problem areas that will require prioritization.
Distinguish between “feature requests” (output) and “problems to be solved” (outcome).
Utilize prioritization frameworks (e.g. RICE) to prioritize your backlog, ensuring we are working on the highest value items first.
Master the Backlog and Workflow
Ruthlessly prioritize the backlog using data to say ‘no’ to low-value work.
Write clear, concise user stories that focus on clear success criteria.
Partner with the Tech Leads and tool vendors to push on innovative areas of products that deliver more value to our customers and scale our management of platforms.
Bridge the Gap (Stakeholder Management)
Act as the primary translator between leadership, our customers, and engineering teams.
Communicate progress using a variety of modes, including Demos, Reviews, Presentations, and Writeups.
Work with cross-functional teams to continuously deliver value and measure success.
Participate in Agile ceremonies as the voice of the customer.
