Business Product Owner
Own product outcomes for client platforms and SparkSolutions products like Crumbly: translate business pain points into prioritized roadmaps, write crisp requirements, and make the calls that keep products focused on measurable value.
About the role
The hardest part of this role is subtraction. There is never a shortage of reasonable requests, and the product owner is the person who decides what does not get built this quarter and can explain why without leaving the room resentful. Strong opinions about outcomes, held loosely as evidence arrives.
You will work across both client platforms and our own products, which means switching between serving somebody else's business goals and setting our own. Expect to be close to real users and real usage data, and to be judged on whether adoption moved rather than whether the backlog was tidy.
What you'll do
- Own product backlogs, roadmaps, and release planning
- Translate stakeholder needs into clear, testable requirements
- Prioritize ruthlessly against business outcomes and effort
- Work daily with engineering and design through delivery
- Measure adoption and outcomes; feed learning back into the roadmap
What you'll bring
- 3+ years as a product owner, product manager, or business analyst
- Experience turning ambiguous business problems into shipped software
- Strong analytical skills and comfort with product metrics
- Excellent facilitation and written communication
Nice to have

- Background in a domain we serve — retail, hospitality, or professional services
