Search Product Owner

Search Product Owner

Springfield, MO

Responsibilities

• We are seeking an experienced Product Owner to support the delivery of search and catalog discovery capabilities on a B2B digital platform serving professional automotive repair shops and commercial buyers. This is an execution-focused role that sits within the delivery team, partnering with the Discovery PM, engineering architects, and internal product and QA teams to translate roadmap intent into sprint-ready stories, manage the backlog, and ensure high-quality delivery.
• The Search PO is the day-to-day delivery anchor for the search and catalog workstream — owning backlog hygiene, story quality, sprint readiness, and stakeholder coordination at the feature level. The ideal candidate is a disciplined, detail-oriented PO who can bridge product intent and engineering execution in a fast-paced Agile environment.

Key Responsibilities

Backlog & Story Ownership

• Own and manage the sprint backlog for the search and catalog discovery workstream — covering parts search, vehicle selection, catalog lookup, product listing pages, product detail pages, pricing and availability, part interchange, kits, and stock order workflows.
• Break epics and features into well-structured, sprint-ready user stories with clear acceptance criteria, edge cases, and definition of ready and done.
• Facilitate backlog grooming sessions with engineering (API and frontend tracks), architects, QA, and internal stakeholders — ensuring stories are technically unambiguous before sprint entry.
• Maintain traceability from business requirements through to stories, test cases, and release notes.
• Keep the backlog current, prioritized, and aligned to the Discovery PM's roadmap direction at all times
