About The Position

We are looking for a Product Owner (full-time, remote) who seamlessly blends the skills of a Business Analyst and a Project Manager. In this role, you will be the bridge between business stakeholders and the delivery team — responsible for both defining what gets built and making sure it gets delivered on time, at quality, and within scope. You will own the full product lifecycle: from discovery and requirements gathering, through sprint planning and execution, to delivery and retrospective. You will be expected to ask the right questions, keep the team unblocked, and translate business goals into actionable, well-structured work. Possible project types include Design projects (UX/UI design, branding, marketing materials), Development projects (websites, web platforms, mobile apps, integrations), and Support projects.
