As a Product Owner, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Global Payroll technology. You will manage the entire product lifecycle, from discovery to execution, and work closely with development teams, business stakeholders, and clients to ensure our product meets the highest standards.

- Sprint Planning & Execution: Collaborate with the Scrum Master to set sprint objectives, track progress, and manage any changes or adjustments with stakeholders.
- User Feedback & Testing: Gather client feedback through interviews and surveys, conduct User Acceptance Testing (UAT), and ensure new features meet business and customer needs.
- Go-to-Market Execution: Plan and execute go-to-market strategies, including preparing internal teams and managing release communications.
- Stakeholder Training & Support: Provide training and support to internal teams on new product features, and assist in the sales process.
- Data-Driven Decision Making: Analyze product data to identify opportunities for improvement and develop hypotheses for new features or product enhancements.
- Metrics Ownership: Define and monitor metrics to measure product success and business impact.
- Continuous Improvement: Proactively identify opportunities to accelerate product development and improve existing products.
What will make you stand out:
