Location: Columbus, Ohio (Onsite)

Role Overview

We are seeking a Product Owner to support a complex enterprise platform environment. This individual will be responsible for owning intake, prioritization, and execution alignment across multiple workstreams.

This is not a traditional Business Analyst role. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working in an unstructured environment, making prioritization decisions, and driving clarity across competing stakeholder demands. This role will play a key part in guiding work through evaluation, shaping direction, and ensuring delivery stays focused on high‑value outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the intake and evaluation of incoming requests, determining what should move forward, be deprioritized, or declined
• Drive backlog prioritization based on business value, platform impact, and delivery feasibility
• Act as the decision point for prioritization and sequencing of work across multiple initiatives
• Provide direction on scope clarity, feasibility, and expected outcomes
• Navigate and organize unstructured workstreams, helping bring clarity to ambiguous requests
• Partner with business, PMO, and technical teams to ensure alignment on priorities and execution
• Identify risks, gaps, and dependencies and take ownership in driving resolution
• Support platform evolution efforts, including ongoing migration to a SaaS‑based environment

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in a Product Owner or Product Manager role within enterprise environments
• Demonstrated experience owning backlog prioritization and trade‑off decisions
• Experience managing competing stakeholder intake and driving prioritization outcomes
• Ability to operate effectively in ambiguous or evolving environments
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage across business and technical teams

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting enterprise platforms (CRM, OMS, energy/utilities, etc.)
• Experience with Microsoft Dynamics or similar platforms
• Experience supporting platform transformation or modernization initiatives
• Background working in environments focused on improving delivery performance and execution
