About The Position

As a Product Owner at Amira, you will be responsible for guiding the success of 1–2 products and leading the associated scrum teams. You will serve as the “voice of the product,” ensuring clarity of priorities, quality of delivery, and cross-team alignment. While you won’t have direct reports, you will lead by influence—energizing and coordinating engineers, QA, and design to deliver impactful products at startup speed. This role requires deep product knowledge, strong documentation, and relentless accountability for delivery. You will thrive if you are hands-on, detail-oriented, and excited to collaborate across the company and with external partners to bring high-quality solutions to market.
