Senior Technical Product Owner - Canada

We are seeking a Senior Technical Product Owner to lead delivery and discovery for business-critical web and mobile products while strengthening the internal systems that power how Bellwood works.

This is a unique opportunity to work alongside an experienced team that excels at building high-quality products for clients at scale. You will serve as the primary product and delivery lead across client engagements, translating business goals into clear, executable plans for engineering and design teams. In addition to client work, you will help elevate Bellwood’s internal processes, tools, and platforms to improve how we plan, deliver, and collaborate.

• Create and manage all user stories in Jira, ensuring acceptance criteria are clear and development-ready
• Proactively manage and refine the backlog to align with evolving priorities
• Facilitate scrum ceremonies including refinement, planning, stand-ups, kickoffs, and retrospectives
• Monitor team velocity and capacity to plan realistic, predictable sprints
• Partner closely with engineering, design, and QA to ensure high-quality delivery
• Validate features in staging environments and coordinate deployments with stakeholders

• Support pre-sales and discovery conversations with prospective clients as needed

• Own, maintain, and continuously enhance Bellwood’s core delivery and operations platforms (Jira, Tempo, Jazz, Lattice, Rippling, and related tools), driving process efficiency, system reliability, and operational excellence between client engagements.

• Document and scale best practices for discovery, estimation, and delivery
• Improve reporting, forecasting, and visibility into team capacity and performance

• Has led complex software projects from discovery through launch
• Is comfortable making decisions and owning outcomes, not just gathering requirements
• Thrives in ambiguous environments and brings structure and clarity to chaos
• Communicates confidently with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Understands software architecture and technical tradeoffs well enough to partner deeply with engineers
• Has strong experience with Jira and modern delivery tooling
