Product Owner

We are looking for a skilled Product Owner to join us in our office in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE.

We don’t follow formats. We shape them. We build what works, launch it fast, and make sure it hits.

• Manage Product Backlog: Formulating the list of backlog items and prioritizing them as per the critical business objectives;
• Define Sprint Objectives: The product owner defines the suggested sprint objective, which will serve as a base to determine the sprint goal;
• Review and approve the work done by the development team: The product owner inspects the product increment made by the development team in each iteration, from design preparation to production release verification;
• Provide effective communication to the stakeholders of the project: The Product Owner is the central communicator between the development team and the stakeholders; they need to be clear and concise communicators to ensure there is approval of the stakeholders for all major decisions and strategies;
• Backlog Refinement: Ability to prioritize, enhance, and finalize the items with the team before the sprint planning;
• Create and Maintain Change Requests Associated with the Product: Predominantly an Operational task. The Product Owner will gather and prioritize operational changes and include them within the Product Backlog for future sprint iteration;
• Define Acceptance Criteria for their Product: The Product Owner must know what they want their product features to achieve. Having strongly defined acceptance criteria is vital to ensure that the Product performs to the expected standard. A/C's should always be confirmed with Stakeholders and will be used as a baseline for QA to test against;
• Gather Functional and Non-Functional Requirements: The Product Owner will ensure that all requirements are gathered and that they meet the Product Manager's expectations;
• Maintain Requirements: Requirements may be adjusted during the project lifecycle; this is to be expected in a dynamic environment such as ours. If a requirement is adjusted, then this must be reflected at the appropriate level (Epic, Story);
• Verify Requirements: Once the requirements, functional and non-functional, have been gathered from the stakeholders, the Product Owner will confirm and agree that the requirements are fit for purpose and use;
• Create and Maintain Epics, Stories, Use and Edge Cases: Although the creation of these artifacts may be done by another team, the Product Owner holds accountability for the quality of their content;
• Participate in OKR planning: Working closely with stakeholders and participating in quarterly OKR planning for the product, including estimating their achievement.

• At least 3 years as a Product Owner or similar role (Business Analyst, System Analyst);
• Technical Understanding: Solid knowledge of: Requirements lifecycle & backlog management; Product architecture & development; Scrum / Agile methodologies; UX principles; Basic coding or design experience - nice to have, but not mandatory; Mobile app product - nice to have, but not mandatory.
• Soft Skills: Communication: Excellent English and the ability to clearly convey product vision, report insights, and align teams; Analytical Thinking: Strong problem-solving skills - able to collect data, identify issues, and make sound decisions fast; Decision-Making: Confident in evaluating options and implementing solutions that drive product success; Organization: Skilled at managing processes, leading efficient meetings, and keeping teams aligned; Leadership: Inspire and guide cross-functional teams (without direct management); Conflict Resolution: Mediate issues calmly and constructively to maintain progress and collaboration.
