Job description
Randstad Digital is seeking a highly tactical, detail-oriented Product Owner to head a massive, net-new custom application build focused on Labor Management of the Future. This platform will drive real-time logistics, complex scheduling workflows, and critical "day-of" operational changes for train platforms. Working under the guidance of the Director of Product, you will be the tactical powerhouse responsible for taking raw, sketched-out concepts from leadership and autonomously refining them into detailed user stories and managed backlogs. This is a role for a digital product purist who thrives in the details of custom UI/UX and complex transaction processing, rather than high-level strategy or infrastructure project management. Tactical Responsibilities
- Detailed Requirements Engineering: Take raw, loose, or sketched-out concepts from leadership and "roll up your sleeves" to write exhaustive user stories, complex user workflows, and precise acceptance criteria.
- Design-to-Engineering Translation: Partner closely with design teams to own the translation of proprietary web/mobile UI/UX mockups into functional engineering backlogs.
- Backlog "Heavy Lifting": Autonomously manage the day-to-day grooming and prioritization of the Jira backlog. Ensure every story is "Ready" for development with zero ambiguity.
- Workflow & Transaction Optimization: Dive deep into the technicalities of real-time scheduling logic, labor rules, and large-scale transaction processing to map out seamless user journeys.
- Technical Liaison: Serve as the primary, day-to-day point of contact for the engineering team to clarify edge cases in requirements and validate that the built features meet the "Definition of Done."
- Agile/SAFe Participation: Support Sprint ceremonies and PI Planning by providing the detailed data and documentation needed to estimate effort, track velocity, and maintain a clear engineering runway.
Requirements
- Experience: 3 5+ years of experience as a digital Product Owner in an Agile environment. We are looking for a product purist who excels at the execution side of product ownership.
- Proven Custom Build Portfolio: A track record of successfully shipping scaled, proprietary web or mobile application builds where you owned the translation of design mockups into development-ready requirements.
- UI/UX Obsession: Deep experience optimizing highly complex user workflows, front-end usability, and large-scale transaction processing.
- Domain Flexibility (Cross-Industry Talent Welcome): While transportation experience is a plus, it is not mandatory. We highly encourage talent with backgrounds in Logistics, Supply Chain, Complex E-Commerce, or High-Volume Transaction Processing platforms to apply.
- Tools: Expert proficiency in Jira and Confluence for writing "bulletproof" user stories and maintaining organized documentation.
