[Hiring] Product Owner @KAYGEN

Role Description

This role will own product direction for a broad, fast-moving personalization platform, translating business goals into clear priorities, epics, and stories across multiple engineering teams for the Next Best Action Platform.

• Need a working understanding of the platform's architecture and how the solution fits together — data, streaming, decisioning, rules, orchestration, and the business-facing interface.
• Own and prioritize the product backlog for a broad platform spanning multiple functional areas.
• Maintain a working understanding of the end-to-end solution — data, streaming, decisioning, rules, orchestration, and UI layers.
• Break down broad or ambiguous business asks into well-scoped stories mapped to the right engineering team.
• Write clear acceptance criteria and definitions of done that engineering teams can execute against.
• Partner closely with engineering leads across teams to sequence work, manage dependencies, and keep delivery aligned with the roadmap.
• Use Claude and other AI tools directly as part of day-to-day work — drafting stories, analyzing requirements, exploring the codebase or documentation, and speeding up planning and decision-making.
• Communicate priorities, trade-offs, and progress clearly to both technical teams and business stakeholders.
• Continuously refine the backlog as the platform expands into new use cases and business areas.
• Represent the voice of the business in sprint planning, reviews, and roadmap discussions.

Qualifications

• Strong product ownership fundamentals — backlog management, story writing, prioritization, stakeholder communication.
• Solid technical fluency — able to read architecture diagrams, follow technical discussions, and ask informed questions about data, streaming, ML, rules, or orchestration components.
• Practical, day-to-day use of Claude (or comparable AI tools) to increase personal productivity and speed up planning, documentation, and analysis.
• Ability to map business requirements to the right team and component in a multi-team, multi-layer architecture.
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and turning broad, loosely defined asks into scoped, actionable work.
• Clear written and verbal communication across both technical and non-technical audiences.
• 4+ years of product owner or product manager experience, ideally on a platform with multiple integrated technical components.
• Demonstrated experience working directly with engineering teams across different technical domains (e.g., data/ML, backend services, front-end/UI).
• Hands-on comfort with AI tools as part of a personal workflow, not just occasional or superficial use.
• Experience in personalization, marketing technology, or decisioning platforms is a strong plus.
• Healthcare, insurance, or other regulated-industry experience is a plus but not required.
• Experience operating in a large, multi-team program where work must be correctly routed across teams.

Requirements
