Product Owner
3B Staffing LLC
Title: Product Owner
Location: Chicago, IL (hybrid, minimum 2 days/week in office)
Type: 12-month contract, renewable, with potential conversion to full-time
Reports to: VP, Global Product Development Description:
Our client is looking for a Product Owner to bring rigor and structure to a workforce engagement platform built for restaurant owner-operators, recently acquired and now part of a growing technology portfolio serving one of the largest restaurant systems in the country. The product already works. It has real production stores, a loyal user community, and a founder who built it from inside the industry. What it needs now is a single, accountable owner to turn that foundation into a disciplined roadmap and a predictable delivery cadence. What you'll do:
Own the product roadmap, priorities, and timelines, deciding what gets built, what waits, and what doesn't happen
Translate owner-operator requests into the underlying problem, and build solutions that scale across stores, not just one
Own a healthy, well-groomed backlog, partnering with a dedicated Business Analyst to turn intent into buildable requirements
Run the staged release process from prototype through alpha, beta, and general availability
Bridge design, brand, and creative teams with engineering to protect design intent through production
Partner daily with a stable, long-tenured engineering team, an engineering lead, and a dedicated Scrum Master
Become the definitive product SME, equipping the commercial team to sell and feeding field learnings back into prioritization
Give leadership clear, honest visibility into what's shipping, what's at risk, and what tradeoffs are being made What you bring:
Demonstrated experience owning a software product end to end: roadmap, backlog, and delivery
Track record shipping software in an Agile environment, working directly with engineering through the full delivery cycle
Strong prioritization judgment and the ability to say no in terms stakeholders accept
Skill at uncovering the real problem behind a requested feature
Excellent written communication
Comfort working across design, creative, and commercial functions, including distributed and contract team members
Modern product/delivery tooling experience (Jira, Confluence, Figma, or equivalent)
Ability to build credibility quickly with a founder and a long-tenured team who know the product deeply
Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience Nice to haves:
Restaurant, retail, or franchise industry familiarity
Experience supporting a sales team as the product expert
Experience running alpha/beta programs with live customers
Experience with post-acquisition product integration or a scaling inflection point
Experience working with data/analytics teams on product metrics
