Technical Product Owner

Role Description

Bold Orange is seeking a Technical Product Owner who is passionate about leading client engagements, driving delivery outcomes, and owning the intersection of product intent and technical execution.

The Technical Product Owner will lead and document requirement discovery, guide backlog strategy, and serve as the connective force between client goals, product direction, and engineering execution. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality marketing technology solutions that meet and exceed client expectations.

You will be responsible for managing and prioritizing the technology solution backlog, translating client needs into actionable epics, features, and user stories, and partnering with technology partners and engineering teams to ensure clarity, feasibility, and delivery readiness.

The ideal candidate is a client-facing, agile-minded leader who is comfortable guiding decisions, navigating ambiguity, and taking ownership of delivery outcomes. You will help shape marketing technology solutions that empower clients to achieve their business objectives and deliver meaningful customer experiences.
