About The Position

We are seeking an experienced Product Owner to lead delivery within an AI-native POD engagement for a technology client in the restaurant and hospitality sector. This is a fully embedded, client-facing role based on-site in Plano, TX. The PO will own the full product delivery cycle within the POD — from outcome definition through sprint execution — and will serve as the primary interface between ISHIR's delivery team and the client's senior stakeholders and SMEs.

Requirements

6+ years as a Product Owner or Product Manager within a software product company — not purely a services or project management background
Demonstrated ability to own a backlog end-to-end without BA support
Strong client-facing presence — comfortable presenting to and aligning with senior technology and business stakeholders
Experience working in fast-paced, iterative agile environments with two-week sprint cadences
Active use of AI-assisted planning and documentation tools — Notion AI, Linear AI, or equivalent.
Comfortable using AI for story generation, acceptance criteria drafting, and sprint documentation as a standard workflow, not an experiment

Nice To Haves

Domain experience in restaurant technology, hospitality, payments, or retail
Familiarity with Jira, Linear for backlog and sprint management
Exposure to agentic or AI product delivery — understanding what it means to build with and around AI systems

Responsibilities

Translate client business outcomes and KPIs into a structured, prioritised backlog with clear acceptance criteria
Lead sprint ceremonies — planning, standups, reviews, and retrospectives — with minimal oversight
Work directly with client SMEs to gather domain context, validate priorities, and communicate progress at a senior level
Ensure every sprint delivers shippable, production-ready output — not prototypes or work-in-progress
Document and transfer AI-native delivery practices to the client organisation as part of the engagement mandate
