About the role

  • We’re seeking a Product Owner to guide the discovery, delivery, and adoption of enterprise supply-chain and transportation platforms
  • You’ll translate business strategy into outcomes, own and order the product backlog, and ensure each increment delivers measurable value to operations and customers
  • The role blends logistics/TMS domain fluency with strong product execution in an Agile environment
  • The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing value and for effective backlog management (vision, ordering, clarity), working closely with engineering, design, QA, data, and integration teams
  • You’ll be part of a cross-functional product team supported by a Scrum Master; you own the vision, prioritization, and acceptance of increments
  • Translate product strategy into actionable user stories with clear acceptance criteria and supporting context
  • Maintain and prioritize a well-groomed backlog in Jira, balancing technical dependencies, user needs, and business priorities; keep 1–2 sprints of “Ready” work
  • Own value and ordering—make timely scope and priority calls; accept or reject increments against acceptance criteria and Definition of Done (DoD)
  • Act as the voice of the customer during development; define acceptance tests and validate increments to ensure valuable, usable outcomes
  • Validate releases through UAT, operational testing, and post-deployment feedback loops
  • Serve as the central point of contact between delivery teams and business stakeholders across operations, sales, and customer service.

Requirements

  • 3+ years in a Product Owner or Product Manager role delivering software products or platforms
  • Domain fluency in supply chain and transportation (planning → execution → visibility → financials), with practical experience supporting or evolving TMS/visibility or adjacent systems
  • Demonstrated skill in user story writing, backlog ordering, acceptance/validation, and Agile delivery with cross-functional teams
  • Strong stakeholder facilitation and communication; comfortable with executives, operations, and engineers
  • Data literacy: able to define metrics, read dashboards, and use insights to shape priorities
  • Proficiency with Jira/Confluence (or similar Agile delivery tools)
  • Experience coordinating work across multiple business units and multiple systems (TMS, visibility, WMS, ERP, CRM)
  • Familiarity with EDI/API concepts and logistics data flows; comfort partnering on data quality and eventing
  • Exposure to scaled delivery (e.g., PI/quarterly planning, dependency management) and outcome-based roadmaps
  • Certifications (e.g., CSPO/PSPO, SAFe PO/PM) are a plus.
