Product Owner – Asset Management - Canada

In this role, you will serve as the engine of product delivery translating strategic visions and

domain insights into crisp, actionable technical requirements for our engineering team. You will

operate within a tight-knit core product squad alongside a Product Manager, a Rapid

Prototype Designer, and a dedicated Subject Matter Expert (SME). While the Product

Manager sets the overarching roadmap and strategic vision, you will own the day-to-day

product backlog, sprint execution, feature clarity, and delivery quality to ensure the

development team builds software that aligns precisely with business goals and user

workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Backlog Management & Requirement Definition
  
  

Translate strategic roadmap items from the Product Manager and domain insights from

the SME into clear, detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and workflow diagrams.

Build, groom, and prioritize the product backlog continuously to maintain a healthy queue

of ready-to-work items for engineering.

• Development Team Interface & Execution
  
  

Serve as the primary, day-to-day point of contact for the engineering team, answering

functional questions promptly to maintain dev velocity.

Facilitate or participate in core Agile ceremonies, including backlog refinement, sprint

planning, daily standups, and sprint reviews.

Unblock development roadblocks by clarifying edge cases, defining validation rules, and

making pragmatic tactical trade-offs in real time.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration & Quality Assurance
  
  

Partner closely with the Rapid Prototype Designer to ensure user stories align with

visual prototypes and design specs prior to sprint commitment.

Review completed software builds against acceptance criteria to ensure delivered

functionality matches design specifications and strategic intent.

Collaborate with the Product Manager to communicate sprint progress, evaluate scope

trade-offs, and surface risks early.
