Senior Product Owner

Iversoft

4h•$20,000 - $24,000

About The Position

At Iversoft, the Senior Product Owner works closely with client stakeholders and our internal team to ensure that what we build is executable, strategically aligned, and delivers maximum value. This individual will collaborate with UX Designers and Solutions Architects to translate the client’s technical strategy into a clear, prioritized, and actionable delivery plan. This is a 2–3 month subcontractor engagement, with the possibility of long-term extension. The project is expected to kick off in late March or early April and run for approximately 6-8 weeks. Contractors will be provided with a Scope of Work (SOW) and will be asked to prepare fixed bids that will be reviewed as part of the selection process. Any work deemed out of scope by Iversoft or the Subcontractor, will result in a change request being issued to the end-client, with an opportunity to revise pricing accordingly. The proposed budget for this engagement is anticipated to be between $20,000-$24,000 CAD.
