Technical Product Owner (Vancouver, Canada, or remote)
In this role, you will own Ziva’s short-term roadmap by transforming the high-level vision for the product into detailed requirements that meet customer needs. It’s an exciting opportunity to facilitate communication between customers and the development team, and you will work cross-functionally with key stakeholders to define, plan, and coordinate releases. You will need to create actionable user stories for the development team and plan and prioritize the product feature backlog. Additional responsibilities include working with UI/UX designers to develop a production-ready UI and experience, participating in product positioning and pricing, and aiding in the promotion, marketing, sales, and deployment of the product. Finally, you will also develop and facilitate a beta test program for the product to collect actionable feedback from customers to help improve the product overall.
Ziva is looking for someone who is an outstanding communicator with strong presentation and leadership skills, possesses sharp analytical and problem-solving skills, and thrives in fast-paced environments. The ideal candidate has three or more years of experience working within a highly technical software environment and a demonstrated understanding of 3D graphics software. Knowledge of product management methods and tools and experience working in an Agile workflow are a must. Ideally, you should have experienced at least one full software development lifecycle. An interest in the game or film industry and/or experience working in these industries is a plus, as is knowledge of computer science and computer graphics.
