Product Owner – Forecasting & Process Documentation

Position Overview

We are seeking a Product Owner to lead the organization, documentation, and productization of a granular forecasting process. This role will play a critical part in transitioning a proof-of-concept into a scalable, well-defined product. The ideal candidate will bridge business and technical teams, ensuring stakeholder needs are clearly translated into actionable product requirements while maintaining comprehensive documentation.

Documentation will be a core and ongoing deliverable for at least the first six months, alongside shaping product direction and supporting development efforts.

Key Responsibilities

• Define, document, and refine goals, deliverables, and workflows for the granular load forecasting project
• Organize and productize existing processes developed during proof-of-concept phases
• Translate stakeholder input into clear product requirements and development priorities
• Collaborate closely with data scientists and technical teams to guide product evolution
• Lead stakeholder engagement, facilitate discussions, and align expectations across teams
• Centralize and maintain comprehensive project and process documentation

Typical Day

• Engage proactively with stakeholders to gather input and provide updates
• Lead discussions to align on priorities, scope, and expectations
• Translate business needs into structured product requirements
• Collaborate with data science teams on development direction
• Conduct focused, independent work on documentation and process structuring

Work Environment & Culture

This is a highly collaborative role requiring strong cross-functional interaction. While there is a significant individual contributor component (especially around documentation), success depends on continuous communication and coordination across multiple teams with competing priorities.

Required Qualifications

• 5–7 years of relevant experience (flexible based on candidate strength)
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Proven ability to create clear, structured documentation
• Experience translating stakeholder needs into product requirements
• Familiarity with JIRA in an enterprise environment

• Strong organizational and process-oriented mindset

Key Competencies
