At Emtrain, we're on a mission to make healthy, respectful workplaces the norm. Over the past ten years, we've worked with culture-forward companies like Cisco, Linkedin, Workday, Twilio, Udemy, Docebo, Degreed, and many others! Building from our base, we're launching a next-generation technology solution for companies who realize that team dynamics is their growth engine and the heart of their value proposition and brand. We are woman-founded and women-led, with offices in San Francisco and Sacramento. As our company grows, so does our need to add sharp, ambitious, and talented people to our team.
We are on the lookout for a skilled and self-driven Product Owner with a strong User Experience background to join our team of creative thinkers, problem solvers, and decision-makers who are dedicated to developing user-centric requirements and design specifications for our platform.
Adaptability is key to success in this role. Priorities shift frequently and team members are required to wear multiple hats and tackle new challenges as they arise. We function more like a tight-knit team navigating a small sailboat than a large crew staffing an ocean liner.
When it comes to design, we need someone who values pragmatic and effective solutions over aesthetics. Our goal is to find and articulate the simplest solution that can meet business requirements and user needs without placing unnecessary demands on our engineering team.
Responsibilities:
- Leverage your product ownership and UX skills to develop clear and actionable user stories and mockups for features that meet strategic business goals and customer needs.
- Collaborate with colleagues on the product and engineering team as well as business stakeholders to ensure software solutions meet business and client needs.
- Collaborate with other members of the product team to ensure that the product backlog is kept up to date and prioritized.
- Gather and evaluate feedback from client-facing teams to inform product enhancements, then participate in prioritization of those enhancements in alignment with existing roadmap initiatives.
- Serve as a representative of the product team in client and partner meetings.
- Mentor junior product owners, offering guidance on skill development and providing constructive design and story reviews.
- Actively participate in all Agile development practices, including backlog prioritization, sprint planning, stand-ups, showcases, and retrospectives.
- Enhance team knowledge and skills by staying abreast of emerging technologies, methodologies, and trends, and sharing insights with colleagues.
- Demonstrate a strong sense of urgency and entrepreneurial spirit to drive business and product outcomes, demonstrating exceptional attention to detail.
Requirements:
- 2+ years as a Product Owner on agile product team(s)
- 3+ years of interaction and user flow design experience for web applications - UI/visual design skills are a plus, but not required.
- Passion and experience designing for an excellent user experience while taking into account technical opportunities and constraints.
- Experience in ensuring software accessibility, including adherence to WCAG guidelines and proficiency in creating inclusive digital experiences for users of diverse abilities.
If you are obsessed with high-quality platforms that drive positive change for our customers and their employees and have a passion for great user experiences and a desire to collaborate with engineers to bring them to fruition, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity to work with a culture-forward company.
In addition to our competitive salaries, we provide the following benefits:
Stock Options
Unlimited PTO
Health Insurance
Dental Insurance
Vision Insurance
