Digital Technical Product Owner

Description

The company makes an FDA-approved medical device for adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who cannot tolerate CPAP or do not get consistent benefit from it.

The Digital Technical Product Owner maximizes the value delivered by one or more agile product teams. You turn product strategy from the Product Manager and stakeholders into a clear, actionable backlog, keep work ready, make timely team-level decisions, and confirm completed work meets agreed acceptance criteria. You work daily with engineering, systems, architecture, quality, regulatory, cybersecurity, privacy, data, operations, vendors, and business stakeholders to deliver scalable, reliable, secure, and compliant digital capabilities.

Responsibilities

• Own, order, and keep refining the team backlog so it serves product outcomes, roadmap priorities, quality, technical sustainability, and operations.
• Turn product goals, user needs, business rules, regulatory needs, and technical constraints into well-defined backlog items, user stories, acceptance criteria, and context, working with the team rather than writing requirements alone.
• Make sure backlog items are understood, sliced, sequenced, and ready for delivery.
• Make day-to-day priority, scope, and clarification decisions within set product direction and decision rights.
• Balance new capabilities, defects, technical debt, cybersecurity, quality, compliance, maintenance, and operational work using visible priorities.
• Accept or reject completed work against agreed acceptance criteria and confirm it supports the intended outcome.
• Give the team product context, sprint or iteration goals, priorities, and quick clarification during delivery.
• Take part in planning, refinement, reviews, and retrospectives, and work with the Scrum Master or delivery lead on flow and team effectiveness.
• Work with design, engineering, testing, systems, architecture, data, and quality partners to find dependencies, resolve ambiguity, and reduce delivery risk.
• Manage intake, triage urgent requests and defects, and make trade-offs visible to the Product Manager and stakeholders.
• Coordinate priorities and dependencies across teams and keep one transparent record of committed and upcoming work.
• Support release planning, readiness, validation, deployment, and post-release monitoring.
• Represent user and customer needs and keep work tied to the problem, expected outcome, and product strategy.
• Work with the Product Manager and design or research partners on discovery, solution validation, and turning findings into delivery-ready work.
• Collect feedback from users, stakeholders, support channels, analytics, and product operations to guide backlog decisions.
• Demonstrate completed capabilities and communicate delivered value, open decisions, risks, and next steps.
• Build applicable quality, regulatory, privacy, cybersecurity, accessibility, clinical, safety, and data requirements into backlog items and acceptance criteria.
• Keep traceability and support required product development records, reviews, approvals, and change controls in the quality management system.
• Help the team consider nonfunctional requirements such as reliability, performance, observability, security, supportability, and maintainability.
• Support defect triage and post-market improvements as assigned.
• Use delivery and product data to find bottlenecks, quality trends, and ways to improve flow and delivered value.

• 5+ years of progressive experience in product ownership, business analysis, software delivery, engineering, design, quality, program management, or a related digital product role.
