If you are a problem-solver who’s ready to push boundaries and achieve more than you thought possible-you'll find an exceptional career within an extraordinary business. 

We are seeking a highly motivated Product Owner to drive the strategic development of our agentic AI products. This individual will serve as the bridge between our business stakeholders and the engineering teams, translating strategic vision into actionable development tasks. Key responsibilities include defining, prioritizing and executing the product roadmap. 

As a Product Owner at Kyriba, you are the execution engine that translates product strategy into shipped features. You own the product backlog, partner daily with engineering teams, and ensure high-quality delivery of capabilities that delight customers and drive business outcomes.

This is a pure execution role focused on sprint-level delivery, not product strategy. You will work embedded with a development team, writing user stories, prioritizing sprints, and validating that what we build meets customer needs. Success means your engineering team consistently delivers high-quality features on time, with clear requirements and minimal rework.

Essential duties and responsibilities:

• Drive cross-functional product execution, including running agile ceremonies and overseeing all stages of the development process.

• Own the product backlog end-to-end - managing requirements gathering, creation of specifications, prioritization and continuous refinement - by balancing business value, technical feasibility, security and delivery risk.

• Facilitate cross-functional alignment among Product, Engineering, Release Management and Operations.

Requirements & Validation 

Gather detailed requirements

• Work with Product Manager to understand customer needs and context

• Create wireframes or mockups to clarify requirements (with design support)

• Validate requirements with stakeholders before development

Customer validation

• Support Product Manager in customer discovery and validation
