[Hiring] Product Owner II @TrueComp

Role Description

TrueComp is a growth-stage govtech SaaS company expanding its product organization across our workforce analytics suite, including TrueComp Intelligence and Labor Costing. The Product Owner II is a mid-level, hands-on product role that works across the full product suite, partnering with onshore and India-based engineering teams and reporting directly to the Chief Product Officer.

This is an AI-forward role. TrueComp uses Claude and Claude Design throughout the product lifecycle, and the Product Owner II will take a product vision from concept to delivery:

• Building AI-assisted prototypes and UI/UX designs
• Writing PRDs
• Creating epics and user stories
• Managing backlogs and agile teams through release

We are looking for someone who sees AI as a core part of how product work gets done, and who pairs that fluency with strong product judgment and disciplined agile execution.

Qualifications

• Three to five years of experience as a Product Owner, Product Manager, or comparable role in an agile software development environment, with a record of independently owning a backlog and delivering outcomes
• Demonstrated, hands-on use of AI tools such as Claude across the product lifecycle, including prototyping, design, PRD authoring, and user story creation
• Experience taking an idea from concept through PRD to a refined, sprint-ready backlog
• Proficiency with Jira for story writing and backlog management, and experience with comparable roadmap and project management tools (Aha! and Asana preferred)
• Demonstrated ability to decompose ambiguous business problems into clearly scoped, deliverable increments of work
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex requirements to technical and non-technical audiences
• Experience collaborating with engineering teams across the full software development lifecycle, and flexibility to work with offshore teams in India, including meetings outside standard U.S. business hours
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience

Requirements

• Experience working with offshore development teams, ideally collocated teams based in a single location such as India
• Government technology experience, including familiarity with public sector customers
• Experience in B2B SaaS, particularly at a high-growth organization
• Domain experience in human resources technology, compensation, workforce planning, budgeting, or data and analytics products
• Working knowledge of UX principles and design systems, and experience with product analytics tools such as Pendo

Tools and Technology

• AI: Claude and Claude Design for AI-assisted discovery, prototyping, UI/UX design, PRDs, and user stories
• Product and project management: Aha! for product management and roadmaps; Jira for backlog and story management; Asana for project management

First-Year Expectations

• First 30 days: Build working relationships with the onshore and India-based engineering teams, product leadership, and key internal stakeholders; complete onboarding to TrueComp’s product suite, tools, and AI-assisted product workflows; begin shadowing customer engagements.
• First 60 days: Take ownership of the backlog for your assigned product area; lead sprint planning and agile ceremonies independently; deliver a first PRD supported by a Claude Design prototype, and see its stories through to production.
• First 90 days: Run the full cycle from prototype to PRD to groomed backlog to release with minimal supervision; demonstrate measurable improvements in team velocity and delivery predictability; contribute to roadmap planning conversations with product leadership.
• First year: Own the delivery outcomes for your assigned product areas, serve as a go-to resource on AI-enabled product practices for the broader team, and contribute to the product vision and roadmap.
