About this role
CPI Security's Product Owner role sits at the intersection of business strategy and software delivery. You'll own the product backlog and work directly with stakeholders, customers, and the development team to ensure that what gets built aligns with both business objectives and user needs. This means writing and refining user stories, grooming the backlog, facilitating Agile ceremonies, and making prioritization calls that balance technical debt against feature requests and business value.
