About this role
Role overview
Own the direction and delivery of a content management product used to run college athletics websites. This customer-facing product role combines roadmap decisions, requirements writing, hands-on feature review, and release coordination. A key focus is redesigning the tools staff use to publish schedules, rosters, stories, and results, while supporting a transition to a next-generation platform.
Responsibilities
- Maintain the product roadmap and revisit priorities with product leadership as customer needs and strategy evolve. - Translate customer feedback and product goals into plans, Jira stories, and clear, testable acceptance criteria, using AI-assisted delivery tools in daily work. - Gather feedback from athletic communications staff and guide the admin redesign from requirements through release. - Test features in preview environments, check them against agreed criteria, and provide actionable acceptance or revision feedback. - Assess support escalations, clarify bug reports and requests, set priorities, and route work to developers. - Prepare support, marketing, and sales teams for releases, and use customer conversations and product data to inform decisions.
Requirements
- At least three years as a Product Owner, Product Manager, or Business Analyst on a SaaS or web product; multi-tenant CMS experience is especially relevant. - Strong track record managing an end-to-end Jira backlog and writing clear stories and testable acceptance criteria. - Regular hands-on experience with AI tools and sound judgment when reviewing their output. - Practical understanding of how websites are built and hosted, including HTML and CSS basics, APIs, data formats, and deployment workflows. - Strong writing skills for plans, tickets, release notes, and help content. - Comfortable working directly with customers and internal teams, prioritizing requests, and explaining decisions clearly.
Nice to have
