We’re looking for a Product Owner to join our Mobility Essentials team to drive our vision, strategy, and roadmap. Umo Mobility and cFlex are our cloud-hosted, full-featured electronic fare payment system for Transit Agencies. We’re a pure agile team which means that experience with Agile, Kanban, or Scrum is a must. You will be working closely with our product management team, our customers, business owners, and other stakeholders to define and prioritize user stories with the Mobility Essentials team.

This role will focus on shaping and delivering an innovative experience to our agencies while improving the experience for their riders. You will be fully aligned with our product roadmap and strategic plan and drive product development with our team. Your ultimate goal is to maximize value delivered in the minimum amount of time.
