Senior Product Owner

We are looking for a Product Owner to join a healthcare-focused product team and support the development of enterprise governance, risk, compliance, and policy management solutions.

In this role, you will work closely with a Senior Product Manager, business stakeholders, subject matter experts, designers, and engineers to turn product objectives and regulatory needs into clear development requirements. While the Senior Product Manager is responsible for the overall product vision and roadmap, you will focus on the day-to-day product execution: maintaining and prioritizing the backlog, preparing requirements, supporting sprint activities, and ensuring that delivered features meet business expectations.

Responsibilities:

• Convert product roadmap initiatives and stakeholder input into actionable user stories, acceptance criteria, and workflow documentation.
• Maintain and continuously prioritize the product backlog, ensuring the development team has a well-defined pipeline of work.
• Clarify business requirements, functional scenarios, and edge cases to support effective implementation.
• Act as the primary product contact for the engineering team, providing timely guidance and clarifications throughout development.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies, including backlog refinement, sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and sprint reviews.
• Help resolve delivery blockers, define expected system behavior, and support practical scope decisions.
• Collaborate with the Senior Product Manager to ensure requirements are consistent with product direction, UX designs, and technical architecture.
• Validate completed features against agreed requirements and acceptance criteria.
• Communicate delivery progress, highlight dependencies and risks, and support discussions around scope and priorities.

Requirements:

• 4–5+ years of experience as a Product Owner, Agile Business Analyst, or Technical Product Manager in a software development environment.
• Strong practical understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies and product delivery processes.
• Proven experience creating detailed user stories and acceptance criteria, including Given-When-Then / Gherkin scenarios.
• Hands-on experience managing and prioritizing product backlogs using tools such as Jira or Aha!.
• Ability to understand UX/UI designs, wireframes, process flows, and data/schema diagrams and translate them into clear development requirements.
• Practical experience creating UX prototypes and wireframes to explore and validate user workflows.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with both business stakeholders and technical teams.
• Ability to make informed day-to-day decisions, manage competing priorities, and keep development activities moving forward.

Nice to Have:

• Previous experience in a hybrid Product Owner / Designer or Product Manager role within a B2B SaaS environment.
• Familiarity with GRC solutions, healthcare policy management, or regulatory compliance processes.
• Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO) or Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) certification.
• Exposure to HRIS integrations such as Workday, Oracle, or UKG.
• Knowledge of healthcare accreditation and regulatory frameworks, including TJC, DNV, or CMS.
