Key Responsibilities
Backlog Ownership & Prioritization
•        Maintain a clear, outcome-aligned backlog for the scrum team, ensuring each item is well-defined, technically feasible, and tied to a specific customer or business problem.
•        Translate customer needs, stakeholder input, and data insights into user stories and acceptance criteria.
•        Keep at least three sprints of groomed, prioritized work consistently prepared so the team can plan ahead without interruption.
•        Make day-to-day decisions that unblock engineering and maintain delivery velocity.
•        Ensure the team understands the “why” behind priorities and how work contributes to tax billing outcomes and biller operational efficiency.
Execution & Delivery
•        Lead sprint planning, backlog refinement, and sprint reviews with precision and preparation.
•        Ensure shipped features meet acceptance criteria, quality standards, and intended use cases.
•        Partner with engineering and UX to deliver incremental improvements rather than large, risky releases.
Experimentation & Analytics
•        Monitor released features, track key performance indicators, and drive corrective actions when results fall short.
•        Use product analytics, behavioral data, and qualitative input to understand how tax billers and their payers interact with the platform.
Customer & Workflow Understanding
•        Develop deep understanding of tax billing workflows, biller pain points, and payer usage patterns.
•        Represent customer needs during product discussions and decision-making.
•        Participate in customer interviews, usability sessions, and frontline team conversations to stay grounded in real-world experience.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
•        Work with business stakeholders, engineering, design, data, and support teams to ensure alignment and smooth execution.
•        Partner with the Product Manager to keep the roadmap, vision, and team-level priorities tightly connected.
•        Collaborate with operations and enablement teams to support adoption and rollout of new tax vertical capabilities.
Requirements
Education

Experience
•        3–5 years as a Product Owner, Business Analyst, or related product role in a SaaS environment.
•        Hands-on experience with Agile/Scrum teams; CSPO or similar certification preferred.
•        Familiarity with government or tax billing systems and workflows is a plus.
Skills
•        Strong backlog management and sprint execution skills; deeply familiar with Agile/Scrum team operation.
•        Proven ability to articulate customer problems, define user stories, and translate requirements into actionable work.
•        Analytical thinker who uses data to justify priorities and evaluate the impact of shipped features.
•        Clear communicator with the discipline to document decisions, acceptance criteria, and changes precisely.
•        Technical curiosity and the ability to understand system behavior, constraints, and trade-offs without needing to code.
•        Strong attention to detail and a habit of ensuring features meet expected outcomes—not just delivery dates.
