About The Position

The Product Owner is responsible for managing the product backlog for a dedicated development team and driving features from initial definition through development, release, and client launch. In this role, you will partner closely with engineering, QA, operations, implementation, and client-facing teams to prioritize work, define requirements, and ensure successful product delivery.

Requirements

3+ years of experience as a Product Owner, Product Manager, Business Analyst, or Technical Project Manager on software development teams.
Demonstrated experience owning a backlog for an active development team and shipping releases on a recurring cadence.
Strong requirements-writing skills, with the ability to move between business narrative and detailed acceptance criteria.
Hands-on experience with Agile delivery and product management tools (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps, ClickUp).
Proven ability to coordinate cross-functional launches spanning engineering, QA, operations, and external stakeholders.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with credibility in front of both engineers and senior business stakeholders.
Comfort operating with incomplete information, making decisions, and adjusting as new information emerges.
Ability to adapt and prioritize in a fast-paced environment and take initiative.

Responsibilities

Own and prioritize the CareTria product backlog; write clear user stories with acceptance criteria that are ready for the team to estimate and commit to.
Serve as the day-to-day product point of contact for the development team; lead backlog refinement, sprint planning, standups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives, and accept or reject completed work against acceptance criteria.
Drive features through UAT, release, and production support; define release scope and readiness criteria, run go/no-go decisions, and own release notes and internal enablement so operations and client teams are ready before launch.
Coordinate user acceptance testing with internal operations and client stakeholders, including test planning, defect triage, and sign-off.
Gather and validate requirements with operations, account management, implementation, and client stakeholders; represent CareTria capabilities in requirements workshops, configuration reviews, and demos.
Balance client-specific commitments against platform scalability, advocating for configurable solutions over one-off builds, and communicate scope decisions and their rationale clearly.
Maintain a roadmap and delivery view; report status, risks, and timeline changes to leadership and client teams on a regular cadence, surfacing issues early rather than escalating late.
Partner with Quality/Regulatory, Compliance, and Information Security so that requirements and delivered functionality reflect applicable regulatory, privacy, and security obligations.
