Job Description

This is a remote position.

We are looking for a Software Product Owner who can successfully lead software development projects, manage client relationships, and drive strategic vision.

This role goes beyond traditional project management. You will be a trusted advisor to clients, helping to shape their technology strategies, validate product assumptions, and align project goals with business outcomes. The ideal candidate will have strong account management skills, a technical background in software development, and the ability to translate business needs into actionable development tasks.

This is not a traditional task-tracking project management role. We are looking for someone who can think strategically, provide technology leadership, and drive project success from both a business and execution perspective.

You’ll work closely with internal teams, including developers and designers, while also serving as the primary point of contact for clients.

Responsibilities
  • Own client relationships, acting as the main point of contact.
  • Help clients shape their product vision, validate assumptions, and recommend technology solutions based on business goals.
  • Maintain product backlog.
  • Develop and implement technology strategies for clients.
  • Define project scope, budgets, and timelines.
  • Lead and manage software development projects from inception to delivery.
  • Conduct gap and risk analysis to identify potential project challenges.
  • Ensure that technical feasibility, business value, and client constraints are balanced effectively.
  • Create and manage detailed project tasks and technical documentation.
  • Facilitate project meetings with both internal teams and clients.
  • Ensure team alignment with delegated tasks and project goals.
  • Track project financials to ensure profitability and resource efficiency.
  • Develop mitigation plans for risks and ensure early resolution of project roadblocks.
  • Support business development efforts by contributing to project scoping and proposals.
  • Foster long-term client relationships, ensuring continued engagement beyond project completion.

Requirements

Personal Competencies
  • Exceptional communication and collaboration skills.
  • Ability to foster strong relationships with clients and team members.
  • Strong client account management capabilities.
  • Must be able to translate business goals into a phased roadmap and prioritize features based on value vs. effort.
  • Comfortable challenging client assumptions and providing alternative solutions when needed.
  • Should be able to identify early warning signs of scope creep, misalignment, or technical feasibility issues.
  • Excellent organizational and multitasking skills.
  • Ability to work independently and lead teams.
Required Knowledge & Experience
  • 7+ years of experience as a Product Owner, ideally in an agency or consulting environment.
  • Experience managing client relationships and accounts.
  • Experience working with US-based clients.
  • Experience leading discussions on architecture trade-offs, scalability, and technical risks.
  • Experience negotiating scope adjustments with clients while protecting timelines and budgets.
  • Technical knowledge of software development processes.
  • Experience working with developers, designers, and stakeholders.
  • Familiarity with Agile and Scrum methodologies.
  • Proficiency with project management tools like Jira, Asana, or Trello.
