The role also uses AI tools to improve product planning and backlog management.

Responsibilities

• Author well-structured epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria; leverage AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatPRD, Rovo) to produce and refine backlog artifacts efficiently and at scale
• Design and maintain reusable prompt templates for recurring PO tasks — story generation, acceptance criteria drafting, refinement prep — so AI-assisted output is consistent and team-ready
• Lead the planning of product release plans and set expectations for delivery of new functionalities
• Confirm that executed stories comply with Neumo’s Definition of Done
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering, marketing, sales, and customer support, to ensure successful product releases
• Engage with customers and stakeholders to gather, validate, and translate requirements into actionable backlog items
• Facilitate agile ceremonies (sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives) and drive continuous improvement
• Ensure product decisions align with user needs, business goals, and technical capabilities
• Work closely with senior leadership to inform product strategy and provide updates on product progress and milestones
• Monitor and report on product performance, quality, and usage metrics
• Perform other duties as assigned

• Familiarity with technical concepts including APIs, middleware, services, and SQL
• Proficiency in prompt engineering as applied to product work — structuring context-rich, role-specific prompts that generate well-formed epics, stories, and acceptance criteria, and iterating on prompts to achieve alignment with Definition of Ready/Done
• Strong written communication skills and client presence; able to translate effectively between technical and business audiences
• Ability to create epics, user stories, user journeys, wireframes, and basic diagrams to convey ideas
• Able to juggle multiple competing priorities
