5+ years of experience in a Product Owner or hybrid PO / BA role.

Strong understanding of Agile / Scrum methodologies; CSPO certification is a plus.

Experience with Salesforce and cloud migration projects is highly desirable.

Basic technical aptitude (e.g., understanding of database updates, stored procedures).

Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Experience in healthcare technology is a bonus, but not required.

Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.

Team & Project Details :

Team : Portals Team, focused on VA provider portal and related applications.

Project Scope : Mix of modernization (e.g., cloud / Salesforce migration by 2026) and stabilization (e.g., server / database upgrades).

Culture : Agile, collaborative, and transformation-focused. Candidates must be flexible, team-oriented, and comfortable working within predefined priorities.

Interview Process :

Step 1 : Initial screening with Urmila (and possibly another team member).

Step 2 : Panel interview with broader team.

Additional Notes :

The role is not a traditional Project Manager or Scrum Master position.

The Product Owner will not own full prioritization; priorities are set by the Value Stream Manager.

Candidates must be comfortable with a collaborative environment, working closely with IT and business teams.

Pacific Coast time zone alignment is preferred to match team schedules.

Flexibility for early meetings (7-8 AM PT) and late deployments (up to 10 PM PT) is required.
