About the job

Requirements
  • A bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • At least 3 years of experience as a Product Owner, Product Manager, or similar product role within a software or SaaS organization.
  • Hands-on experience using generative artificial intelligence and large language model tools as part of day-to-day product work, with specific examples of how they improved workflows.
  • Experience using artificial intelligence to synthesize customer feedback, identify themes, support prioritization, generate or refine product requirements documents and product specifications, create user stories and acceptance criteria, and accelerate research or discovery.
  • Strong product judgment and critical thinking, including the ability to validate artificial-intelligence-generated output, detect weak assumptions or hallucinations, protect sensitive information, and separate useful signal from plausible-sounding noise.
  • Ability to work with Agile development teams and translate customer and business problems into clear, actionable requirements without over-prescribing the technical solution.
  • Ability to explain complex workflows, tradeoffs, compliance considerations, and product decisions to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Responsibilities
  • Define and communicate a clear product vision, roadmap, and priorities for Gun StoreMaster based on customer needs, business objectives, regulatory requirements, and technical opportunities.
  • Use artificial intelligence tools to aggregate and synthesize customer feedback from interviews, support tickets, sales conversations, surveys, product usage, and other sources, identifying recurring themes, pain points, and opportunities.
  • Build repeatable artificial-intelligence-assisted prioritization workflows that combine qualitative customer feedback with usage data, business impact, regulatory obligations, technical effort, and strategic value.
  • Turn product discovery into clear product requirements, specifications, user stories, acceptance criteria, workflows, edge cases, and supporting documentation, using artificial intelligence to accelerate drafting, challenge assumptions, and improve completeness.
  • Use artificial intelligence to accelerate market and competitive research, analyze emerging product trends, and investigate regulatory or industry changes, validating important conclusions with authoritative sources and subject matter experts.
  • Partner with engineering, design, quality assurance, support, sales, and other stakeholders throughout the Agile development lifecycle, maintaining a well-prioritized backlog and ensuring the team understands the customer problem and intended outcome.
  • Use artificial-intelligence-assisted prototyping, wireframing, data analysis, or other rapid discovery techniques to test ideas earlier and reduce the cost of learning before committing significant engineering effort.
  • Validate delivered features against customer needs, usability expectations, security requirements, and applicable compliance requirements, ensuring artificial-intelligence-generated analysis or documentation is reviewed rather than accepted blindly.
  • Create durable product knowledge by documenting customer insights, product decisions, assumptions, requirements, and reusable artificial-intelligence workflows so the organization can make faster and more consistent decisions over time.
Desired Qualifications
  • Experience with regulated software, compliance-heavy workflows, firearm retail, Federal Firearms Licensee operations, or Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives requirements is a strong plus; practical product ownership and the ability to learn the domain quickly are more important.
