Job Description

Product Owner III

Duration: 12 months
Location: Onsite - Charlotte, NC
Role Overview
We are seeking a Technical Product Owner (TPO) to support a Platform and Integration team delivering solutions across multiple business areas, systems, and data domains.

This team does not own a single centralized product. Instead, it enables a wide range of initiatives, including:

Platform enhancements
Application integrations
Data pipelines
Analytics enablement
Operational improvements

In this high-variability environment with shifting priorities, the Technical Product Owner plays a critical role in:

Shaping and prioritizing work
Facilitating Agile execution
Ensuring predictable flow from intake through delivery

This role requires strong technical fluency, execution leadership, and the ability to bring structure to ambiguity.

Key Responsibilities Work Intake & Demand Shaping

Serve as the primary intake point for new work requests across business and technical domains
Partner with stakeholders to clarify intent, outcomes, urgency, and constraints
Evaluate requests for value, risk, feasibility, and alignment with platform standards
Determine the appropriate delivery path (platform enhancement, integration, data pipeline, operational fix)

Backlog Ownership & Prioritization
Own and maintain a consolidated backlog across all supported areas
Continuously prioritize based on business impact, operational risk, dependencies, and capacity
Balance competing demand across:
- New initiatives
- Platform investments
- Technical debt
- Reliability work
Make prioritization trade-offs explicit when demand exceeds capacity

Planning & Story Development
Translate ambiguous requests into clear epics, features, and user stories
Partner with the Technical Lead to ensure work is technically sound and execution-ready
Ensure stories include:
- Context
- Acceptance criteria
- Non-functional requirements
- Constraints
Identify and document dependencies, risks, assumptions, and unknowns early
Drive backlog refinement to reduce ambiguity before sprint entry

Agile Execution Facilitation
Facilitate Agile execution end-to-end from intake through delivery
Lead backlog refinement, sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives
Ensure clear sprint goals, priorities, and commitments
Actively manage work-in-progress to prevent overload and thrash
Partner with Technical Leads and TPMs to remove blockers and resolve dependencies
Apply Agile practices pragmatically—providing structure without unnecessary ceremony

Stakeholder Collaboration & Communication
Collaborate with stakeholders across business, analytics, engineering, and operations
Set expectations around scope, sequencing, and delivery timing
Communicate priority shifts, risks, and trade-offs proactively
Help stakeholders understand platform constraints and integration complexity

Platform & Integration Focus
Own requirements for platform services, APIs, and integrations (not end-user features)
Advocate for reusable, scalable solutions serving multiple domains
Partner with engineering to define API contracts and integration standards
Ensure alignment with architectural direction, security expectations, and operational readiness

Technical Environment
The Technical Product Owner must be comfortable operating within the following ecosystem:
Backend & Platform Services

Amazon Aurora (PostgreSQL)
DynamoDB
Data & Integration Technologies
Kafka (event-driven and streaming systems)
Infrastructure & Delivery
Terraform (Infrastructure as Code)
CI/CD pipelines
Analytics & Consumption
Qlik
Data products and analytics integrations
Hands-on development is not required, but strong technical fluency is essential.

Required Qualifications
5+ years of experience as a Product Owner, Technical Product Manager, or similar role
Proven experience facilitating Agile execution (not just participating in ceremonies)
Experience working within platform, integration, or enablement teams
Ability to operate effectively in high-variability, high-ambiguity environments
Strong skill translating unclear requests into structured, executable work
Experience partnering closely with backend, platform, or data engineering teams
Excellent facilitation, communication, and stakeholder management skills

Preferred / Nice to Have Experience
Experience supporting multiple products or business domains simultaneously
Familiarity with AWS-based, cloud-native architectures

The TPM (if present) supports delivery tracking and coordination
All roles collaborate to ensure work is ready, feasible, and delivered effectively
AWS Glue
PySpark
AWS DMS
Streaming and batch data pipelines
