About StudentBridge:

StudentBridge helps colleges and universities attract and engage prospective students through powerful digital storytelling and data-driven engagement. We work with institutions across the country and operate as a fast-moving, collaborative team that values ownership, curiosity, and getting things done. As we continue to grow and evolve, we’re looking for a Product Owner to help drive clarity, alignment, and execution across our product development efforts.

Role Overview:

We’re looking for a Product Owner who thrives at the intersection of business strategy and technical delivery and knows how to turn ideas into shipped product. You’ll play a critical role in translating business needs into clear, actionable work and ensuring we’re building the right things at the right time. You’ll operate at the center of product delivery, aligning stakeholders, partnering closely with engineering, and keeping work moving with clarity and ownership. This is a hands-on role for someone who is proactive, detail-oriented, and comfortable driving outcomes, not just managing tasks.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct requirements refinement with leadership, translating business needs into clear, actionable user stories and acceptance criteria
• Conduct customer signal testing
• Own and maintain the product backlog, ensuring stories are well-groomed, prioritized, and sprint-ready
• Collaborate with UX, engineering, QA, and business stakeholders to align on scope, priorities, and release goals
• Serve as the first line of intake and triage for production support issues, prioritizing fixes alongside feature work
• Define and track acceptance criteria to ensure delivered features meet business objectives
• Manage stakeholder communication, escalating blockers and surfacing risks proactively.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies: sprint planning, standups, retrospectives, and reviews
• Support user acceptance testing (UAT) and sign-off for features entering production
• Work closely with marketing to ensure effective deployment.

Skills, Tools & Technologies:

• Product backlog management
• Requirements gathering and refinement
• User story writing and acceptance criteria definition
• Agile / Scrum methodology
• Stakeholder communication and management
• Cross-functional team collaboration
• Proficiency with Jira or similar tooling
• Technical fluency (APIs, system architecture, data flows)

Certifications, Education & Experience:

Preferred But Not Required

• CSPO — Certified Scrum Product Owner

• PSPO — Professional Scrum Product Owner (Scrum.org)

• SAFe POPM — SAFe Product Owner / Product Manager

• PMI-ACP — Agile Certified Practitioner

• A technical background: prior experience as a developer, QA engineer, business analyst, or in a technical support role is a significant advantage

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related technical field or equivalent practical experience

• Non-technical degrees will be considered when paired with strong demonstrated technical fluency and relevant product experience

Note: The responsibilities of this position are not limited to those listed above and the employee may be asked to perform additional duties. This job description may be changed at the discretion of the employer. The employee will be notified if such changes occur.
