Product Owner II

As Product Owner for the LabOS Prototype Platform, you will own LabOS itself and run the prototype product-development lifecycle for the AI ContentLab across 4p-6 prototypes at once. You will manage several small prototypes at once, not a portfolio of full-scale products. Each one is built for fast evaluation with a small, focused user group, and needs clear scope and discipline, but not production-level scale, support, or release overhead. You will take each prototype from proof of concept through structured evaluation to a clear outcome: a production handoff, a pivot, or a well-documented sunset. Lab leadership sets portfolio priorities; your job is to make sure every prototype is built, tested, measured, and decided on with discipline. You will report to the Director, Program Management, AI ContentLab., * LabOS Platform Ownership

• Own the backlog and roadmap for the LabOS platform itself, including the portal, access and single sign-on, onboarding, the launcher, and shared services.

• Keep a current inventory of every hosted prototype, with its status, owner, and stage in the lifecycle. Prototype Development and Testing

• Drive development and testing across multiple prototype applications at the same time.
• Write clear user stories and acceptance criteria; run sprint ceremonies and backlog refinement.

• Coordinate user testing and UAT with creative and production stakeholders. Facilitate onboarding sessions for new users.

• Stakeholder Feedback Loop
• Work with stakeholders and program leads to capture, document, and prioritize feedback, feed it to the development team, and close the loop on what changed.

• Conduct routine demos on product features and upcoming enhancements. Evaluation Governance

• Define success criteria and metrics for each POC up front, and set a time box for every evaluation.
• Make sure an architectural review is scheduled and completed for each prototype under evaluation.
• Document outcomes and make a clear recommendation to continue, pivot, move to production, or stop, knowing when a POC has run its course.
• Review and weigh in on scope documents with program leads and engineering, flagging scope creep, risks, and dependencies early.

• Track usage, adoption, and costs across prototypes, with regular dashboards and status reports for Lab leadership. Production Handoff

• Prepare handoff packages for production (requirements, architecture review outcomes, test results, known issues, usage and cost data, user feedback, operating notes) and support the transition to receiving teams.
