Product Owner

The Product Owner is responsible for defining, prioritizing, and driving product enhancements and solutions that support Agora Data’s business objectives and user needs. This role works closely with business stakeholders and technical teams to understand problems and opportunities, translate needs into clear requirements, prioritize development work, and ensure solutions are successfully delivered.

The Product Owner serves as a key connection between stakeholders and development teams throughout the product lifecycle—from identifying a need or opportunity through requirements gathering, development, testing, implementation, and continued improvement.

Success in this role requires strong business judgment, an understanding of product and development processes, and the ability to translate complex needs into actionable requirements while balancing business value, user impact, technical considerations, dependencies, and available resources.
