Full Job Description
About The Role

As the Technical Product Owner, you are responsible for day-to-day delivery execution. This role is squarely focused on turning business needs into clear, actionable engineering work and ensuring that work ships predictably and at quality. You are the primary owner of tickets, requirements, sprint flow, and delivery coordination-not long-range roadmap ownership.

You act as the connective tissue between stakeholders and engineering, ensuring the team always knows what to build, why it matters, and when it is done.
