Product Ownership 

• Work with internal stakeholders to gather and refine requirements, with a focus on accounting workflows and reporting needs. 

• Translate business and accounting requirements into user stories, acceptance criteria, and workflow designs. 

• Maintain a clear and prioritized product backlog in alignment with business goals. 

• Collaborate closely with offshore development teams to ensure understanding of requirements and accurate solution delivery. 

• Facilitate solution meetings with stakeholders and development teams, serving as the decision-maker on accounting-related product requirements. 

• Define and document acceptance criteria and participate in validation/testing of features. 

• Ensure that features meet stakeholder expectations and deliver business value. 

• Proactively identify gaps or risks in requirements and propose solutions.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Strong accounting background. 

• Practical knowledge of GAAP accounting standards and how they apply to product workflows.

• Experience as a Product Owner, Business Analyst, or similar role in agile software development. 

• Strong decision-making ability with the initiative to lead and drive outcomes. 

• Ability to collaborate with multiple product owners and developers in a fast-paced, distributed team environment.
