We’re looking for someone with a strong foundation in product ownership and telephony technology, typically gained through 4–5 years of experience in a B2B SaaS environment. Experience in the automotive space is a plus, but not required. What matters most is your ability to work within Agile (Scrum) frameworks, manage and prioritize product backlogs, and translate business needs into clear, well-written user stories. You bring a thoughtful, analytical approach to problem-solving, with a keen eye for detail and quality. If you’re a proactive, entrepreneurial self-starter who enjoys collaborating across teams and balancing multiple priorities, this is the right fit for you. Familiarity with tools like Jira, Azure DevOps, or Asana is helpful as you partner closely with engineering and business stakeholders.
