About the job

Requirements
  • 3 to 5+ years of experience as a Product Owner, Product Manager, or in a similar delivery-focused product role in B2B SaaS.
  • Demonstrated experience producing structured specifications developers can build from without extensive clarification.
  • Working AI fluency, including daily use of Claude, Copilot, or similar tools and the ability to describe specific workflows built.
  • Experience running customer discovery, including interviews, feedback synthesis, and translating qualitative input into prioritized work.
  • Ability to clarify ambiguity and independently produce specifications, user stories, release notes, and stakeholder updates.
  • Comfort with mockup and prototyping tools such as Figma or Balsamiq, with a point of view on UI and UX quality.
  • Strong experience defining requirements for complex, workflow-driven, or legacy-rich platforms.
Responsibilities
  • Run a structured client feedback program involving interviews, Client Services and Sales intake, and theme synthesis to inform roadmap discussions.
  • Translate agency, operational, and internal stakeholder needs into detailed, unambiguous requirements.
  • Ensure workflows reflect production use, including billing, case management, and regulatory reporting processes.
  • Identify edge cases, configuration impacts, dependencies, and data implications early in the lifecycle.
  • Surface underutilized features and pain points through usage data and client conversations.
  • Produce functional specifications complete enough to serve as direct input to development while materially reducing clarification exchanges between product and engineering.
  • Build and refine AI-assisted specification workflows that advance the team's AI-Directed practice.
  • Contribute to the evolution of the AI-Directed Development Lifecycle by refining workflows, tooling, and team practices.
  • Translate client problems into clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and interactive mockups.
  • Maintain and evolve UI and UX standards as legacy functionality is modernized into Vue.
  • Vet designs with internal stakeholders and incorporate feedback through visible iteration.
  • Own and maintain the ProviderSoft product backlog in alignment with platform priorities and roadmap direction.
  • Triage incoming cases and prioritize them against client value, delivery cost, and operational stability.
  • Triage and influence prioritization of technical debt and maintenance work alongside new capability development, partnering with engineering leadership on the balance.
  • Drive triage efficiency so most cases are tagged, valued, and routed within two weeks of creation.
  • Maintain backlog readiness for predictable sprint planning and delivery execution.
  • Serve as the primary day-to-day product contact for the ProviderSoft delivery team and remove blockers by resolving requirement gaps and priority conflicts.
  • Facilitate test-plan creation, with QA generating test cases from specifications before development where possible.
  • Perform user acceptance testing after development, validating against acceptance criteria and real-world workflows.
  • Ensure release notes, documentation inputs, and internal enablement materials are complete and accurate.
  • Partner with Client Services on change communications so clients understand what is shipping and why.
  • Monitor post-release adoption and feedback, coordinating follow-up work as needed.
  • Treat documentation as a first-class deliverable; specifications and updates feed a functional documentation pipeline supporting AI-assisted development, defect resolution, and onboarding.
  • Contribute requirements and clarity for initiatives spanning legacy and modernized parts of the platform.
  • Help evolve ProviderSoft in alignment with long-term UI, architecture, and ecosystem goals while respecting current client realities.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience leading or championing AI-Directed development practices within a product or engineering team, including evolving workflow design, tooling choices, and team adoption.
  • UX and design depth beyond mockups, including design systems thinking, user research methods, and accessibility awareness.
  • Working fluency with product analytics, including feature adoption, usage telemetry, and funnel analysis.
  • Healthcare, EdTech, or regulated-industry SaaS experience.
  • Experience working in or near a legacy modernization effort and writing specifications spanning old and new architecture.
  • Experience working with hosted enterprise operational software serving diverse customer operating models.
