What we’re looking for
Agate is looking for a high-ownership Product Owner who can bring discipline, clarity, and execution control to complex customer delivery work.
This is not a passive requirements role, a maintenance role, or a “take notes and hand them to engineering” role. The Product Owner owns the bridge between customer needs, internal delivery priorities, and development-ready work.

Our ideal candidates will be energized by that. They see disorder and instinctively create structure. They ask hard questions, force clarity, protect engineering focus, and keep delivery moving.
This role sits inside Professional Services delivery, not abstract product strategy. You will be knee-deep in the work: customer implementations, platform configuration, backlog readiness, sprint planning, acceptance criteria, QA alignment, and delivery execution.
The right person can operate in a fast-moving, imperfect environment where priorities shift, information is incomplete, and results still matter. You will not wait for perfect inputs. You will create clarity, drive decisions, and own outcomes.
