Senior Product Owner

Sr Product Owner

AGDATA is seeking an experienced Sr Product Owner to work closely with product, data science, engineering, and operations teams to extend our Channel & Marketing Activation product line. A major part of this role is ensuring analytics are embedded directly into activation workflows so data moves from Foundation → Trust → Insight → Action and drives decisions, next-best actions, and measurable program outcomes. You are not afraid of ambiguity, dealing with nebulous requirements, and get excited about difficult challenges. You must be able to look at the big picture from both business and technology perspective, possess strong analytical, design, and problem-solving skills.

At AGDATA, you will work on platforms that power data-driven decision-making for global agriculture and animal health clients. You will have the opportunity to influence foundational capabilities, modernize data and analytics practices, and operate as a true product owner with end-to-end accountability.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria that clearly articulate user intent, business value, and analytical logic/assumptions.
• Own and prioritize the backlog for continual delivery where delivery means in user's hands.
• Partner with stakeholders to define how users can incorporate activation metrics (e.g., program adoption, offer effectiveness, channel performance) and ensure they are measurable and actionable within product experience.
• Partner with application engineering to deliver analytics capabilities iteratively and reliably, balancing rigor, usability, performance, and scalability.
• Work day-to-day with data/analytics engineers and data scientists to develop and evaluate hypotheses, acting as the voice of the user for metrics and insights.
• Translate analytical complexity into clear, user-friendly product decisions and ensure insights are explainable, defensible, and trusted.
• Act as a change agent—moving teams from static reporting to embedded, insight-driven experiences—while continuously gathering feedback to refine adoption.

Key Focus Areas

• Analytics product strategy
• Identify opportunities to help our customers identify ways to increase revenue through programs, custom offers, and targeted incentives
• Translate business problems into measurable analytics outcomes and roadmap priorities.
• Champion experimentation, learning, and iteration in how analytics are delivered and consumed.
• Embedded analytics in activation workflows
• Ensure analytics are embedded directly into activation workflows (program setup, offer targeting, execution, and follow-through), not delivered as disconnected BI artifacts.
• Advocate for intuitive UX, consistent metric definitions, and clear analytical storytelling so users can understand performance and take action.
• Design thinking
• Ensure analytics are explainable, defensible, and trusted by users.
• Continuously gather user feedback and usage data to refine insights and improve adoption.
• Conduct design workshops with users to validate workflows, prototypes, and in-product insights.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience
• 5–8+ years of experience in Product Management or Product Ownership roles.
• Experience owning analytics, or insight-driven product capabilities.
• Experience in data-driven or analytics-heavy application environments.
• Analytical & technical skills
• Analytical Frameworks

• SQL
• Python (including libraries such as Pandas) and/or R
• Data analysis and exploration techniques
• Familiarity with:
• BI, data discovery and visualization tools (PowerBI, Azure Fabric)
• Metrics frameworks and KPI design
• Data modeling and transformation concepts
• You do not need to build models, but you must be able to:
• Engagement with data scientists and analysts
• Understand analytical approaches and constraints
• Translate analytics needs into clear product direction
• Skills & mindset
• Customer-centric with a passion for turning data into insight and action.
• Curious, collaborative, and comfortable asking "why" and "what does this tell us?"

• Agile, adaptable, and comfortable operating in environments with ambiguity and change.
