About The Position

BIP Capital is seeking a full-time Product Owner dedicated entirely to AI-focused initiatives, spanning at least three of BIP Capital's internal platforms. In this role, you will own backlog prioritization for AI features, write detailed user stories and acceptance criteria, manage incoming service desk requests related to AI work, and partner closely with engineering and cross-functional stakeholders. This role offers a unique opportunity to build meaningful working relationships across engineering and leadership while developing hands-on expertise in AI product development within a complex, regulated domain. You will operate in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment and contribute directly to BIP Capital's ability to deliver reliable, well-built AI features across the firm. The role requires a mix of interpersonal and analytical skills. As a Product Owner, you will support AI product delivery across three core areas: AI Feature Delivery, Backlog & Stakeholder Management, and Service Desk & Operational Support.

Requirements

BS or BA preferred, in computer science, business, or a related field; equivalent work experience is welcomed.
3+ years of experience as a Product Owner or in product management, specifically with software, platform, or web-based products.
Demonstrated, hands-on experience building AI-native products or features, not simply using AI tools like Claude or ChatGPT for personal productivity.
You should be able to speak to specific AI features you've scoped, written stories for, and shipped with an engineering team.
Jira is the primary tool; Confluence is a plus. Experience with Rally or equivalent Agile platforms is acceptable.
Strong familiarity with the software development lifecycle is expected.
Comfortable working within complex domains, including finance or venture capital concepts.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with proven ability to communicate effectively with senior leadership and stakeholders, and to adjust smoothly as priorities and direction evolve.
Friendly, curious, and emotionally intelligent. You build rapport easily, especially with engineers, adapt to various personalities and bring energy that improves team dynamics.
Comfortable operating within shifting priorities and frequent pivots.
Open to feedback and quick to adapt, you see ambiguity as a normal part of a fast-paced environment.
Ability to gather and interpret information to support product decisions and backlog prioritization.
