We are seeking experienced Contract Technical Product Owners to support discovery and delivery for business-critical web and mobile products.

This is a contract, hourly, project-based role. We are building a bench of product leaders who can be engaged as client opportunities arise. Work is not guaranteed on a continuous basis; engagements will vary in scope and duration depending on client needs.

When engaged, you will:

• Lead product delivery across client engagements, from discovery through release
• Facilitate discovery workshops to define goals, requirements, and success metrics
• Translate business needs into roadmaps, user stories, and actionable backlogs
• Prioritize work and make tradeoff decisions based on value, risk, and timelines
• Serve as a client-facing product lead, providing updates and recommendations
• Manage and refine backlogs in Jira with clear, development-ready requirements
• Facilitate agile ceremonies and support predictable, high-quality delivery
• Partner with engineering, design, and QA teams to ensure strong outcomes
• Identify risks early and drive resolution
• Support pre-sales and early-stage discovery as needed

• 6+ years of experience in product ownership, technical product management, or delivery
• Proven track record leading software projects from discovery through launch
• Strong ability to ramp quickly and operate independently in new environments
• Comfortable with ambiguity; able to bring structure and clarity to complex work
• Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Experience with Jira and modern product/delivery tools
• Solid understanding of software development and technical tradeoffs

• Experience as a consultant, contractor, or fractional product leader
• Comfortable balancing strategic discovery with hands-on execution
• Organized, proactive, and responsive in a remote environment
• Motivated by flexible, project-based work
