Job Description

Role: Product Owner
Location: Chicago, IL Hybrid (3 day onsite)
Duration: Contract

Responsibilities:
1. Product Lifecycle Ownership:

Own features end-to-end from discovery and definition through development, launch, and iteration.
Maintain and prioritize the product backlog in alignment with business objectives, customer needs, and technical constraints.
Define success metrics for each release and track outcomes post-launch to inform the next iteration.

2. Requirements & Communication:
Articulate product requirements clearly and unambiguously to engineering, design, QA, and business stakeholders.
Lead backlog refinement, sprint planning, and demos; act as the primary point of contact for the development team throughout the sprint.

Translate ambiguous business problems into concrete scope, acceptance criteria, and release plans.

3. Design Collaboration:
Work directly in Figma to review flows, annotate designs, create low-fidelity wireframes, and prototype concepts when needed.
Partner with designers to ensure user flows, edge cases, and interaction details are covered before development begins.

4. Jira & Story Writing:
Write clear, well-scoped user stories in Jira with strong acceptance criteria, context, and linked design and technical references.
Structure epics, stories, and sub-tasks so engineering teams can plan and deliver confidently without repeated back-and-forth.
Maintain a clean, prioritized backlog with consistent labeling, estimation, and release tagging.

5. AI-Accelerated Delivery:
Use AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Notion AI, or similar) to accelerate requirement drafting, story writing, competitive research, and stakeholder communication.
Identify opportunities to introduce AI-assisted workflows across the product team to improve throughput and quality.
Apply sound judgment when using AI output - validating, editing, and contextualizing results rather than copying them wholesale.

Required Qualifications:
8+ years of experience as a Product Owner, Product Manager, or equivalent role in an agile software environment.
Demonstrated understanding of the full product lifecycle: discovery, definition, delivery, launch, and iteration.
Proven ability to write clear, engineer-ready user stories and acceptance criteria in Jira.
Working proficiency in Figma - able to navigate files, leave structured feedback, and create basic wireframes or prototypes.
Hands-on experience integrating AI tools into day-to-day product work to improve speed and quality.
Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Experience working in Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid agile environments.

Nice to Have:
Prior contract or consulting experience; able to ramp quickly in a new domain.
Exposure to SaaS, B2B platforms, or AI/ML-powered products.
Familiarity with analytics tools (e.g., Amplitude, Mixpanel, GA4) and basic SQL.
Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) or equivalent certification.
