Senior Product Owner

Senior Product Owner

Location: Remote

Contract: PJ (full-time)

Level: Senior

We’re building a virtual office platform for remote and hybrid teams. It brings together persistent rooms, real-time presence, audio/video (WebRTC), chat, screen sharing, collaborative boards, and immersive spaces to boost connection, productivity, and team cohesion — all in one place.

We’re seeking a hands-on Senior Product Owner who owns the product end-to-end (discovery → definition → delivery → post-launch) and acts as the daily bridge between stakeholders and developers. Beyond roadmap and prioritization, you will test the product, hunt bugs, propose improvements, and run competitor research to turn insights into shipped value.

What You’ll Do

- Daily communication (English): Lead daily standups in English with developers and stakeholders; drive alignment, clarify scope, and ensure follow-through to delivery.
- Backlog & delivery ownership: Plan OKRs/roadmap; break initiatives into epics/stories; manage risks, dependencies, timelines, and quality.
- Jira & Confluence discipline (non-negotiable):
- Keep Jira 100% accurate (statuses, owners, dates, links).
- Create extremely well-documented tickets: clear problem statement, context, scope/out-of-scope, acceptance criteria, functional & non-functional requirements, edge cases, steps to reproduce, logs/screens, links to Figma and related docs.
- Enforce Definition of Ready/Done and maintain Confluence specs/decisions up to date. (Developers should never complain about unclear tickets again.)
- Ensure planned dates for Stage and Production are set on relevant Jira issues and reflected in views/boards.
- Discovery & definition: User interviews, usability tests, JTBD mapping; author PRDs/specs with crisp acceptance criteria.
- Quality & testing: Perform exploratory testing, reproduce issues, triage, and file actionable bug cards.
- Continuous improvement: Track activation/engagement/retention, run A/B experiments, and prioritize UX/performance/stability improvements.
- Competitor research: Benchmark features/flows and translate findings into opportunities and prioritization.

Reporting & rituals:

- Daily stakeholder report (every business day) consolidating, per developer:
- What was completed today.
- The current task and ETA for completion.
- The next 3 tasks with planned start/end dates.
- Tasks that moved to Stage today (and which developer).
- Tasks that moved to Production today (and which developer).
- Mirror this view in Jira dashboards/filters with Stage/Prod target dates visible.
- Maintain AI-generated minutes of every daily with summaries stored in Jira (and linked in Confluence).
- Friday report includes the weekly summary and the monthly developer performance evaluation when applicable.

Must-Haves:

- 5+ years in Product Ownership / Product Management (senior) with a track record of shipping and iterating successfully.
- Fluent English — capable of leading daily standups in English, writing specs, and aligning requirements with international stakeholders.
- Software development experience (prior engineering role strongly preferred) or equivalent technical background — comfortable discussing architecture, APIs, data models, and reading code/PRs at a high level.
- Proven follow-through: nothing falls through the cracks; you drive clarity to outcomes.
- Tooling (required): Jira, Confluence, Figma, Slack, Google Sheets.

Nice to Have:

- Exposure to WebRTC/A/V concepts, performance tuning, or growth loops.
- Certifications: CSPO, Pragmatic, Agile.
