  • Track sprint velocity, burndown metrics, and ensure timely delivery.
  • Proactively identify risks, blockers, and dependencies.
  • Work closely with Engineering, QA, UI/UX, and SRE teams throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Act as the voice of the customer and internal stakeholders.
  • Participate in product demos, reviews, and release readiness discussions.
  • Contribute to product discovery initiatives and feature validation.
  • Analyze user feedback and product metrics to guide decision-making.
  • Continuously improve backlog quality, clarity, and execution processes.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience as a Product Owner remote or Product Analyst in a product development environment.
  • Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies.
  • Proven experience managing product backlogs and sprint cycles.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication abilities.

Nice to Have

  • Highly proactive and self-initiating.
  • Comfortable handling ambiguity and fast-changing priorities.
  • Strong ownership mindset and accountability for outcomes.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Remote work flexibility.
  • Opportunity to work with a dynamic and innovative team.
