Quick Overview
Job Description
- We are looking for an experienced Product Manager / Proxy Product Owner to be EPAM's onsite product lead for a life-sciences cold-chain IoT platform.
- The client, a global leader in cold-chain monitoring for pharmaceutical and life-sciences shipments, is consolidating capabilities from several legacy products into one unified platform built on its existing Azure-based IoT platform. The 1-year program targets an MVP launch in November 2027. The MVP covers new capabilities and functional requirements shipment setup, product and lane profiles, live monitoring and alarming, investigations and reporting, regulated audit trail and e-signatures, and product release and stability decisions.
- One cross-functional team delivers in two-week sprints aligned with the client's PI planning and quarterly releases, against an agreed, milestone-based scope. The client's Product Team keeps final priority and acceptance decisions; you keep the backlog ready and the product moving every day.
- Act as the onsite proxy Product Owner: manage the day-to-day backlog on behalf of the client Product Owner and make product decisions within the agreed mandate.
- Lead the product side of discovery: confirm the MVP requirement baseline, capability sequencing and dependencies, Definition of Ready/Done and the acceptance matrix.
- Turn the product vision and roadmap into prioritized epics and features; with the Business Analysts, keep user stories and acceptance criteria in Jira ready at least one sprint ahead.
- Facilitate PI planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews and demos with client stakeholders and the EPAM team.
- Protect the agreed scope: assess new requests, trade-offs and impacts, and route changes through change control.
- Prepare milestone acceptance with the client's product, architecture and quality/compliance owners, and drive fast decisions on blocking questions.
- Shape key user journeys with the UX/UI Designer and the client design team: shipment setup, alarm handling, investigations, release and disposition.
- Support pilot customer readiness: onboarding setup, migration priorities, UAT and launch.
- Define product KPIs and executive dashboard measures with the client.
- Use AI-assisted product practices with client-approved tools for analysis, story drafting and acceptance-criteria review.
- 7+ years in product management or product ownership for B2B SaaS or enterprise platforms, including 3+ years as PO/PM in Agile teams (Scrum, SAFe).
- Proven experience as a client-facing proxy PO or product lead working with distributed / offshore delivery teams.
- Strong backlog management in Jira and Confluence: epics, user stories, acceptance criteria and prioritization (e.g., WSJF, MoSCoW).
- Experience defining an MVP and managing scope in platform consolidation or modernization programs.
- Excellent stakeholder management, workshop facilitation and communication with business, technical and executive audiences.
- Good understanding of cloud SaaS concepts APIs and integrations, multi-tenancy, roles and permissions, data and reporting to discuss trade-offs with architects.
- Domain knowledge of life sciences / pharma supply chain, cold chain, logistics or IoT monitoring.
- Experience with GxP-regulated software
