Product Owner - Remote Eligible

Product Owner

We are looking for a strategic, detail-oriented Product Owner to lead the roadmap and development of our enterprise and customer-facing search platforms. The ideal candidate will have experience working with search technologies (e.g., Elasticsearch, SOLR, MongoDB), cross-functional teams, and a proven ability to prioritize features that drive business value.

As a Product Owner, you will be the bridge between our technical teams and business stakeholders—defining product requirements, improving data quality and search relevancy, and delivering intuitive, performant search experiences for both internal users and external customers.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the product backlog and roadmap for enterprise and public-facing search platforms
• Work closely with engineering, UX, and business stakeholders to define requirements and prioritize features
• Translate business goals into detailed user stories, epics, and acceptance criteria
• Partner with cross-functional teams (12–15+ stakeholders) to guide search platform implementation and evolution
• Drive continuous improvement in search accuracy, performance, and data quality
• Collaborate with data analysts and data science teams to align product decisions with KPIs and user feedback
• Facilitate stakeholder demos, retrospectives, and planning sessions
• Stay informed of industry trends in search, AI, and platform architecture

Preferred Qualifications:

• 5+ years of product ownership or product management experience, ideally in search or platform roles
• Strong familiarity with Elasticsearch, MongoDB, and exposure to SOLR
• Experience working on B2B and B2C platforms, especially those with complex user journeys
• Proven track record leading data-driven decision making and defining success metrics (OKRs, KPIs)
• Deep understanding of Agile methodologies and tools (Jira, Confluence, etc.)
• Excellent communication skills, with a history of successful stakeholder alignment and feature prioritization
• Experience with enterprise SaaS products, digital platforms, or internal tooling is a plus
• Familiarity with AI tools and LLM-based solutions is a strong plus
