The Person You are

At ATOSS, we hire for both character and skill, seeking individuals who embody resilience, a pioneering spirit, and the passion to grow.

• We value those who:
• Think like entrepreneurs – taking ownership, pushing boundaries, and driving impact.
• Challenge the status quo – bringing fresh ideas and bold execution to the table.
• Thrive in change – seeing growth as a lifelong journey, both professionally and personally.

We don’t just equip you for work—we prepare you for life.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Product Owner to partner closely with the Product Manager and translate product strategy, customer needs, and business priorities into valuable product outcomes.

While the Product Manager owns product vision, roadmap direction, and market strategy, you own the execution layer. You transform strategic priorities into clear initiatives, epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, and release-ready product increments. You ensure delivery teams have the clarity, context, and prioritization needed to build products that deliver measurable customer and business value.

As a key link between Product Management, Engineering, UX, and customer-facing teams, you create alignment, manage trade-offs, and drive successful product delivery in a fast-paced B2B SaaS environment.

The ideal candidate combines a strong technical background with extensive experience in agile product development and a proven track record of delivering complex software products from discovery through launch and continuous improvement.
