Employees must live within a commutable distance of the Centennial area with the ability to be onsite daily* Who You'll Work With Our teams help organizations of all kinds redefine what's possible, give shape to the future - and get there. We focus on high-impact projects, meeting our clients where they are to uncover business needs and deliver results. Our teams go beyond the expected to help clients move confidently through ambiguity and risk and drive more transformative outcomes. The Technical Product Owner is a hands-on technology, AI, and Agile delivery expert dedicated to their project and client. Our job is to make sure our clients build the right thing at the right time, and build it right. AI tools, agents, and workflows are embedded into our delivery practices - accelerating discovery, documentation, analysis, backlog management, and team alignment. We are passionate, adaptive experts who continually practice and hone our craft. What You'll Do As an Technical Product Owner, you'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers, architects, designers, and data specialists inside high-velocity delivery pods, and partner directly with client product owners and technology leaders to translate business intent into clear product direction, lead Agile delivery teams as they adopt AI-enabled ways of working, and keep strategy, scope, delivery health, and value connected from concept through launch and iteration. Core responsibilities include: * Defining and managing project governance including cadence, Agile events, and delivery reporting that surfaces the data clients need to decide. * Partnering with Product Owners to define the product, pressure-test assumptions, and produce clear specifications, user stories, and acceptance criteria tied to OKRs - reframing conversations from solutions to outcomes when needed. * Owning the product lifecycle from concept through launch and beyond - collecting feedback, measuring impact, and planning the next iteration. * Maintaining the project's context hub - a shared source of truth across strategy, decisions, requirements, risks, and technical context - and using AI tooling (e.g., MCPs, agents) to keep it current and accessible. * Leading delivery teams through managing issues and risks, facilitating meetings, and providing clear project status updates. * Collaborating with engineering leaders, validating the technical approach, strategy, and deliverables, and documenting the toolchain the team relies on. * Applying and adapting prompts, templates, and repeatable AI workflows that support requirements, documentation, analysis, and backlog management. * Testing ideas through lightweight prototypes and using feedback to sharpen product direction. ## Related Videos - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Modern DevOps for IoT Devices and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1805-wearedevelopers-live-modern-devops-for-iot-devices-and-more) - [User 1st!
