Job description

The Product Owner at Ever.Ag will manage the product lifecycle, prioritize customer needs, and advocate for users while collaborating with teams to develop effective software solutions in the crop insurance domain. The summary above was generated by AI

Product Owner - AgencyRoot Remote + 15% Travel (US-based; excluding CA, HI, and AK)

The Opportunity

If you’ve spent years working in crop insurance and found yourself thinking there has to be a better way to do this - this role was built for you.

Ever.Ag is looking for a Product Owner who brings deep crop insurance industry knowledge and a genuine passion for building software that makes agents’ and customers’ lives easier. You won’t be translating someone else’s vision - you’ll be shaping it. On a lean, collaborative team where product sits at the center of everything, your fingerprints will be on what gets built, when it launches, and how it lands with customers.

This is a role for someone who loves the puzzle: listening carefully, thinking critically, and finding elegant solutions to problems that don’t have obvious answers. If you’re excited - not intimidated - by how AI is changing software development, even better!

What You’ll Do

You’ll own the full product lifecycle for your assigned projects - from idea to backlog to launch and beyond. Day to day, that looks like:

  • Setting and defending priorities in the product backlog based on customer needs, business commitments, and product vision
  • Translating customer and stakeholder input into clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and functional requirements
  • Collaborating closely with developers and architects to scope, refine, and estimate work - and making sure what ships actually delivers the intended value
  • Building mockups and prototypes to bring ideas to life before a single line of code is written
  • Presenting demos to internal and external audiences and documenting new features through release notes, learning guides, and user documentation
  • Testing delivered features to confirm they meet acceptance criteria and supporting user acceptance testing
  • Staying current on your product’s capabilities and serving as the internal go-to expert
  • Advocating relentlessly for the customer - even when that means pushing back, * Small team, big impact. You’ll be one of three people on the product team - your work won’t get lost in layers of bureaucracy.
  • A seat at the table. Product is central to what AgencyRoot does. You’ll work directly with leadership, customers, sales, and development - not in isolation.
  • Real variety. No two projects look alike. Some will move the revenue needle; others will quietly save the company money or make operations more efficient. Both matter here.
  • AI is on the roadmap - in a real way. We’re actively rethinking how the product development cycle works in the age of AI, and we want someone who wants to help define that, not resist it.
  • A team that actually talks to each other. The full AgencyRoot team connects weekly - collaboration here is genuine, not a buzzword.

Who you will be working for Ever.Ag offers innovative AgTech solutions and services that empower agriculture, food, and beverage supply chains to feed a growing world.

Requirements

  • Crop insurance industry experience is required. You understand the workflows, the terminology, the regulatory landscape, and the pain points. You can speak the language of an agent or adjuster - and you use that knowledge to build better software.
  • 5+ years in a Product Owner or Business Analyst role supporting software development teams required
  • Strong ability to listen, synthesize, document, and communicate across technical and non-technical audiences
  • Comfort working through ambiguity - you don’t need a perfect playbook to do great work
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office required; experience with Jira and Confluence is a plus
  • A bachelor’s degree or equivalent combination of experience and training
