Product Owner (Middle-East)

The Role

You are the single point of accountability for Asite for Architects. The outcomes we are hiring you to deliver:

• A product backlog driven by evidence, not opinion. It will be sequenced against a live view of architects’ needs, competitor gaps, and commercial impact.
• You will stand out as the ‘voice’ of architects through proactive collaboration to ensure they are providing structured feedback, weighted feature priorities, case-studies and a joint-marketing commitment.
• An Architect Persona, Business & Use-Case Playbook for use by Sales and Marketing. You will help sharpen positioning and shorten sales cycles.
• A product narrative that Asite's leadership can sell with that clearly differentiates against key competitors.

What you'll do

Backlog, delivery & GO-LIVE readiness

• Requirements capturing, assessment and prioritisation

• The backlog and sprint development cadence

• Also manage Salesforce Agentforce integration, 3D Repo Lite CDE templating, AI content, Intercom self-onboarding, and the post-launch roadmap

• Dependency management across internal and external product owners, with user acceptance, sign-off gates and a weekly "what could break the launch" risk register.

Competitive intelligence

• A rigorous, continuous evidence-based view of where Asite for Architects stands versus the platforms architects actually use: Autodesk Construction Cloud, Newforma, Bentley ProjectWise, Revizto, Procore and Morta among them; covering workflows, usability, technical fit, pricing and packaging.

Architect persona & use-case playbook

• Structured conversations with at least 8-10 architects across practice sizes and geographies, mapping workflows, annual software spend, jobs-to-be-done, pains, buying triggers and objections.

• A living playbook: personas, use cases, objection handling and talk tracks that Product, Sales and Marketing reuse without rewriting.

Qualifications

• 3+ years as a Product Owner or Product Manager in B2B SaaS (ConTech, PropTech, AEC software or AI-enabled platforms strongly preferred).

• Demonstrable ownership of a SaaS launch end-to-end. References will be checked.

• Genuine customer-discovery experience: You have personally run structured user interviews, synthesised findings, and shipped product changes off the back of them.

• Competitive analysis instinct: You can dismantle a competitor's product and pricing without being told what to look for.

• Fluency in agile delivery: Jira or equivalent, sprint planning, backlog grooming, acceptance criteria, release management.

• Working knowledge of AI/LLM product surfaces: search, summarisation, agentic workflows.

• Ideally having worked at architectural practices or with architects

• Excellent written and spoken English is non-negotiable. You will be interviewing architects and writing for senior stakeholders.

• Time-zone overlap with the UK working day and willingness to flex to GCC hours when required.
