Summary

On-site Product Owner in Colombo who owns the product backlog for a software product: gathering customer, market, and internal input, prioritizing releases with Product Managers and Engineering, writing requirements and specs, and coordinating cross-team delivery. A healthcare/care-management background is a strong plus.

  • Take ownership of the product backlog and keep it in line with the company's goals, what customers need, and where the market is heading.
  • Partner with Product Managers and Engineering to shape what the product should become, plan releases, and decide what gets built first.
  • Collect input from customers, internal teams, market trends, and competitors, and turn it into practical product decisions.
  • Keep releases moving forward by making sure requirements are clear, dependencies are tracked, risks are handled, and timelines are met.
  • Build strong relationships with customers and speak up for their needs, making sure their feedback actually shapes what gets built.
  • Keep stakeholders and Product Managers in the loop with regular, straightforward updates on progress, risks, and decisions.
  • Work with Professional Services, Sales, Support, Marketing, and Engineering to make sure new features and releases land well with users.
  • Write and maintain solid documentation — requirements, business cases, release plans, and feature specs.
  • Look for ways to make the product better — more useful, easier to use, and more valuable to customers.
  • Help with demos, customer presentations, and onboarding to support adoption and engagement.

Requirements

  • Degree in Business, IT, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a similar field.
  • 6+ years working as a Product Owner, Business Analyst, Product Analyst, or in a similar product role at a software company. Experience with international clients is a bonus.
  • Track record of managing backlogs, writing requirements, and prioritizing work in Agile teams.
  • Skilled at turning business needs into clear requirements and explaining them to both technical and non-technical people.
  • Excellent English communication, spoken and written, with the ability to break down complex ideas simply.
  • Strong at managing stakeholders, running discussions, presenting, negotiating, and building agreement across teams.
  • Detail-oriented, well-organized, and disciplined about managing time and follow-through.
  • Comfortable working alongside engineers, with good knowledge of Agile and modern software delivery.
  • Able to juggle competing priorities, catch risks early, and push projects through to completion.
  • Background in healthcare, clinical systems, or care management is a strong plus.
  • Certification in Product Ownership, Product Management, Agile, or Business Analysis is a plus.
  • Some technical understanding of software systems and their limitations is helpful.
