The Technical Product Owner will own the day-to-day product direction for RBCloud, working directly with customers and the business to translate needs into a clear, prioritized backlog. This is a hands-on role that bridges customer and business input with engineering execution, paired with enough process and reporting discipline to keep delivery predictable and stakeholders informed.
This role requires strong backlog and prioritization discipline paired with enough technical fluency to work credibly with engineering. You will own story writing, prioritization, and acceptance criteria, coordinate release readiness across support, sales, and customer success, and serve as the primary business and customer advocate throughout the development process.
Primary Responsibilities:- Own and maintain the RBCloud product backlog: story writing, prioritization, and sprint planning in partnership with Engineering
- Define and maintain user stories, acceptance criteria, and definitions of done to enable consistent, high-quality delivery
- Serve as the primary business and customer advocate within the development process, ensuring the team stays aligned to the highest-value work
- Work directly with customers and business stakeholders to gather requirements, validate priorities, and close the loop on feedback
- Coordinate release readiness across support, sales, and customer success
- Facilitate core product meetings - backlog grooming, sprint planning, release planning
- Maintain a roadmap that reflects current priorities and is easy for stakeholders to track
- Track delivery metrics (throughput, cycle time, capacity) to spot risk early and report progress to the business
- Partner with cross-functional teams (sales, finance, support) to support alignment where it directly unblocks delivery
Skills & Competencies- Comfortable working directly with customers and translating their input into clear technical requirements
- Strong backlog and prioritization discipline; experience writing stories and acceptance criteria that engineers can execute against without heavy back-and-forth
- Enough technical fluency to have credible conversations with engineering about tradeoffs, sequencing, and feasibility
- Clear, direct communicator - comfortable running meetings and giving stakeholders a straight answer
- Organized and process-minded
Minimum Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in Business, Technology, or related work experience
- 4+ years as a Product Owner, technical PM, or similar role working directly with an engineering team
- Direct experience owning a backlog and writing stories/acceptance criteria
- Comfortable engaging directly with customers or business stakeholders
