Job Description

We’re looking for an Associate Product Owner to support the Product Owner in translating product direction into clear, actionable work for our software delivery teams. You’ll help define requirements, write user stories, maintain a healthy backlog, and assist with sprint execution in an Agile environment.

This role is ideal for someone early in their product/BA career who is structured, detail-oriented, and eager to learn how to build and ship SaaS products in the Payments and Compliance space.

Core Responsibilities

• Translate product needs into clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and development-ready tasks.
• Support backlog management: organize items, keep statuses updated, track dependencies, and prepare work for refinement/planning.
• Partner with developers and QA to clarify requirements, answer questions, and reduce rework through better definition upfront.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies (refinement, planning, review, retro); capture decisions and follow up on action items.
• Maintain product documentation (requirements notes, business rules, etc.)
• Assist with release execution tasks such as scope confirmation, UAT coordination support, and release notes drafting.
• Communicate effectively with Vietnam and US stakeholders to gather inputs, confirm understanding, and keep work moving.

Technical Skills

• At least 2-year experience in Product Owner role.
• Experience in fully delivering one feature from business requirement to production.
• Solid knowledge of product development cycle process.
• Ability to write clear, structured documentation (user stories, acceptance criteria, step-by-step behaviors).
• Strong attention to detail and comfort working with multiple small tasks across teams.
• Strong English skills to communicate with global stakeholders.
• Familiarity with Agile basics (Scrum/Kanban): sprints, backlog, refinement, definition of done/ready.
• Comfortable using tools such as Azure DevOps/Jira, Confluence, and Microsoft 365 (or equivalents).

Things that separate you from the rest:

• Experience working with SaaS products or B2B platforms.
• Exposure to payments, security, compliance, or fintech domains.
• Basic technical literacy: APIs, logs, data fields, file formats, or SQL basics.
• Experience supporting cloud-related initiatives (e.g., Azure) in any capacity.

Education:Relevant training or certifications in product management, business analysis, or a related field.
