About The Position

We are seeking an experienced Senior Technical Product Manager / Platform Product Owner to help lead the modernization and evolution of our core platform during a major application rewrite and SaaS transformation initiative. Our organization is actively evolving a legacy/internal platform into a scalable SaaS-oriented product. This role will play a critical part in helping define product direction, coordinate execution, align stakeholders, and guide incremental delivery throughout a complex modernization effort. This is a highly collaborative role within a fast-moving environment. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating across both strategic and tactical responsibilities: defining priorities, translating business needs into actionable engineering work, coordinating across teams, and helping drive execution in an environment with limited process overhead. This is not a purely administrative Scrum role. We are looking for someone who can think critically, communicate clearly, navigate ambiguity, and help guide a platform transformation from planning through delivery.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in Product Management, Product Ownership, Business Analysis, or a similar software-focused role
• Experience working closely with engineering teams in Agile or iterative development environments
• Prior experience contributing to or leading a major application rewrite, modernization effort, SaaS transformation, or platform migration strongly preferred
• Strong communication skills with the ability to bridge technical and non-technical conversations effectively
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and making pragmatic decisions with incomplete information
• Ability to work effectively in a startup or lean-team environment with high ownership expectations
• Experience coordinating across distributed or offshore teams is a plus
• Familiarity with Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, or similar tooling
• Experience working on SaaS products or platform-oriented applications strongly preferred
• Familiarity with phased migration strategies, platform scalability concerns, and operational modernization efforts is a plus

Nice To Haves

• Pragmatic, organized, and technically fluent enough to collaborate effectively with developers while still understanding broader business priorities and operational realities.
• Understands that successful rewrites and SaaS transformations require thoughtful prioritization, phased delivery, stakeholder alignment, operational awareness, and realistic execution planning — not simply rebuilding everything at once.
• Comfortable stepping into an evolving environment and helping establish process, clarity, and momentum where needed.
• Capable of balancing immediate business needs with long-term platform strategy while helping engineering teams maintain sustainable delivery practices throughout a multi-phase modernization effort.

Responsibilities

• Own and prioritize the product backlog for a core business platform undergoing modernization and SaaS transformation
• Work directly with developers, QA, stakeholders, leadership, and external contributors to define priorities and execution strategy
• Translate business goals and operational requirements into actionable technical requirements, user stories, and delivery plans
• Help drive and coordinate a large-scale application rewrite and platform modernization effort
• Assist in shaping the evolution of the platform from a legacy/internal application into a scalable SaaS offering
• Partner closely with engineering teams to balance feature delivery, technical debt reduction, migration planning, operational stability, and long-term architecture goals
• Coordinate work across a small internal engineering team and distributed/offshore contributors
• Help establish structure, clarity, and alignment within a fast-moving startup environment
• Facilitate sprint planning, backlog refinement, demos, and delivery coordination as needed
• Identify delivery risks, dependency issues, operational gaps, and migration concerns early
• Assist with roadmap planning and prioritization decisions based on business value, customer impact, and technical realities
• Collaborate on phased delivery strategies that allow modernization efforts to progress incrementally without disrupting ongoing operations
• Contribute to discussions around platform scalability, operational workflows, and long-term product evolution

Benefits

• High ownership and visibility
• Opportunity to directly influence the future direction of the platform, architecture, and product strategy
• Fast-moving environment with meaningful impact on both technical and business outcomes
