Product Owner

Equivant invites you to join as a Product Owner onsite in Florida, where you will help translate ambiguous stakeholder needs into concrete specs, maintain a focused backlog, and coordinate across engineering, design, and customer-facing teams to ship AI-enabled features. This role centers on clear written and spoken communication, rapid prototyping with AI-assisted tools, and a collaborative, cross-functional approach to product discovery and delivery.

Responsibilities

• Own and keep a well-groomed backlog of clear, detailed written specs for your product area, designed for direct execution by engineering and AI-assisted development tools.
• Practice spec-driven development by turning vague business needs into precise specifications that reduce rework and back-and-forth.
• Serve as the primary bridge among engineering, design, support, and customer-facing teams, translating technical constraints into plain-language updates and business requirements into structured needs.
• Collaborate with support, implementation, and sales to understand field performance and gaps, then synthesize feedback into clear written findings.
• Maintain product documentation, release notes, and internal knowledge resources.
• Utilize AI tools such as Claude Design and similar AI-assisted design/product tools to prototype, iterate, and validate UI/UX concepts before engineering begins.
• Evaluate proposed changes for UI/UX consistency, usability, and adherence to design standards.
• Identify opportunities to optimize workflows, reduce friction, and remove redundant steps for end users.
• Continuously explore how AI tooling can accelerate discovery, spec-writing, prototyping, and validation across the product lifecycle.
• Partner with engineering to scope and prioritize work involving backend configuration and system logic, delivering clear written requirements rather than hands-on implementation.
• Test and validate completed work against the spec prior to release.
• Support senior product owners and product managers on larger initiatives, roadmap planning, and stakeholder communication.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Communications, Business, or a related field.
• 1–3 years of experience in or around a SaaS product organization, such as a product owner, business analyst, associate PM, implementation specialist, or similar role close to the product.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Working knowledge of Spec-Driven Development.
• Hands-on familiarity with AI-driven product development.
• Working knowledge of UI/UX principles and standards.
• Experience identifying and driving workflow optimization.
• Comfort using tools like Jira, Confluence, or similar backlog and documentation systems.
• A collaborative mindset and a curiosity-driven approach, with a bias toward asking why before how.

Technologies

• Claude Design, Jira, Confluence

Nice to Have

• Exposure to enterprise or B2B SaaS products with configurable or rules-based logic.
• Basic SQL or data literacy to explore product usage and support investigations.
• Experience using AI coding or design assistants beyond Claude Design.
• Familiarity with wireframing or prototyping tools (Figma, Balsamiq, etc.).
