About the Role

We are seeking a highly adaptable Product Owner to operate across a portfolio of mission-critical logistics and terminal operations products. This role supports multiple Scrum teams distributed globally and requires someone who can quickly ramp across domains, provide clarity, and drive execution in a dynamic environment.

You will serve as a “floater” Product Owner, stepping in where demand is highest across teams building systems that power marine and rail terminal operations. These include core operating platforms, billing systems, ERP-related functionality, traffic and track control systems, and data/analytics platforms.

This is a high-impact role where strong product judgment, communication, and execution discipline are essential to keeping teams aligned and delivering value consistently.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Partner with 10–15 Scrum teams across the U.S., Mexico, and Ukraine, adapting to shifting priorities and team needs

  • Own and drive product work across a suite of logistics platforms, including terminal operating systems, rail/intermodal solutions, billing systems, and operational tooling

  • Translate complex operational and business requirements into clear, actionable user stories and acceptance criteria

  • Manage and prioritize multiple product backlogs, ensuring alignment with business goals and technical dependencies

  • Lead Scrum ceremonies (standups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, retrospectives) to drive team effectiveness and delivery

  • Collaborate closely with engineering, QA, and cross-functional stakeholders to unblock teams and maintain delivery momentum

  • Balance short-term execution needs with longer-term product and platform considerations

  • Bring structure and clarity to ambiguous or evolving requirements across multiple product areas


What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience as a Product Owner supporting multiple Scrum teams simultaneously

  • Strong command of Agile methodologies, including Scrum and SAFe frameworks

  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across distributed and cross-cultural teams

  • Demonstrated ability to write high-quality user stories and define clear acceptance criteria

  • Strong backlog management skills, including prioritization across competing initiatives

  • Experience leading and facilitating Scrum ceremonies in fast-paced environments

  • Ability to quickly ramp on new domains and contribute with minimal onboarding


Nice to Have

  • Experience working with logistics, supply chain, transportation, or terminal operations systems

  • Exposure to billing platforms, ERP systems, or operational control systems

  • Familiarity with data platforms, reporting, or dashboarding tools

  • Experience working in globally distributed team environments


Additional Details

  • This is a contract role with the opportunity to work across a diverse and evolving product ecosystem

  • The role requires flexibility, as you will shift between teams and priorities based on business needs

  • Teams are distributed across Seattle, Mexico, and Ukraine, with a mix of fully local and cross-regional collaboration
