  • Collaborate with the Product Manager to define the product roadmap, sprint goals, and release plans.
  • Partner with UX/UI designers and engineers to ensure requirements are understood and implemented correctly.
  • Gather and analyze feedback from end-users, clients, and internal teams to drive continuous improvement.
  • Participate in sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives to support smooth agile delivery.
  • Validate completed features against acceptance criteria before release.
  • Support change management and training efforts by providing product insights and documentation.
  • Maintain awareness of industry standards, especially within government, justice, or enterprise workflow systems.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience as a Product Owner, Business Analyst, or related role in an agile software development environment.
  • Demonstrated experience in client-facing roles—leading discussions, managing expectations, and translating requirements.
  • Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies and backlog management best practices.
  • Ability to translate complex business needs into clear, actionable user stories.
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills; able to interact effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Proficiency with tools such as Jira, Confluence, or similar agile platforms.
  • Detail-oriented with strong organizational and prioritization skills.
  • Passion for improving systems that impact public service or operational efficiency.
  • Preferred: Experience in court management, justice systems, or government technology.


Benefits

  • An energized, upbeat environment that strongly fosters employee work-life balance.
  • A work culture that rewards goal-oriented professionals who enjoy meeting challenges head-on.
  • Great/flexible work culture - as long as you get the work done.
  • Amazing personal growth experience 
  • Working with a motivated and talented team.
  • More importantly, an opportunity to meaningfully contribute to bringing  cutting-edge   Tech solutions to life
