Job Description
Senior Product Owner (Agile)
Fully Remote, Full-time
Road Dawg We are building an intelligent ultra personalized travel companion app powered by advanced AI, designed to make every journey feel more intuitive, personalized, and truly rewarding. We're creating this for people just like us, those for whom travel isn't just a hobby or occasional escape, but a core part of who we are. It's in our DNA, the open road calls, the itch to explore new places runs deep, and the best stories come from real miles logged, unexpected detours, and moments that only happen when you're out there living it.
We want teammates who live that lifestyle, who draw from their own adventures to infuse the app with an authentic vibe and intuition that resonates with fellow travelers. If road trips, spontaneous getaways, discovering hidden gems, or turning long drives into meaningful experiences are woven into your life, not just something you read about, you'll bring the empathy, insight, and passion that turns good features into something users feel was built exactly for them. This role is about building for people like you.
The Role As our lead Senior Agile Project Manager, you'll take full ownership of agile delivery, project execution, and cross-functional coordination that powers everything we ship at Road Dawg. You'll design and implement our project management and agile framework from the ground up, establishing rhythms, tools, and processes that keep a fast-moving early-stage team aligned, iterating quickly, and delivering high-impact features. Working closely with product, design, engineering (iOS, Android, backend, AI, DevOps), and leadership, you'll turn ambitious vision into predictable, high-quality releases while navigating the unique complexities of an AI-powered consumer app. This is ideal if you thrive in greenfield environments, love bringing structure to ambiguity, and excel at enabling talented engineers and creatives to ship delightful experiences without unnecessary bureaucracy.
Key Responsibilities Lead and evolve our agile processes: sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives, and continuous improvement practices tailored to a startup pace.
Own the end-to-end product roadmap, backlog prioritization, release planning, and dependency management across all engineering disciplines.
Facilitate clear communication and alignment between technical teams and non-technical stakeholders, translating complex AI and mobile requirements into actionable plans.
Track progress, risks, blockers, and metrics; provide transparent visibility through dashboards, reports, and regular updates.
Establish lightweight yet effective tools and workflows (Jira, Confluence, Slack automations, etc.) that scale with us from 0 to 1 and beyond.
Manage AI-specific delivery challenges: balancing experimentation cycles, model evaluation, on-device/cloud integration testing, and coordinated mobile releases.
Identify and remove impediments, drive decision-making, and help the team stay focused on what matters most to travelers.
Mentor and coach the growing team on agile best practices while continuously adapting our process to fit our unique travel + AI context.
Required Qualifications 6+ years of hands-on Agile Project Management experience in early-stage tech or consumer app environments (mobile, AI/ML, or travel-related experience is a strong plus).
Deep expertise facilitating Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid agile frameworks in fast-paced, cross-functional teams.
Proven success owning agile delivery from scratch (0-to-1) or scaling processes in startups, you know how to bring structure without slowing innovation.
Strong proficiency with Jira, Confluence, and modern collaboration tools, ability to create clear roadmaps, backlogs, and reporting that actually get used.
Solid understanding of software development lifecycles, especially AI/ML workflows, mobile app releases, and backend integration.
Excellent facilitation, communication, and stakeholder management skills, you can translate between engineers, designers, and leadership with ease.
Natural product sense and genuine passion for building consumer experiences that feel magical.
Preferred Qualifications Experience in travel, mobility, location-based services, or personalization-heavy products.
Certified Scrum Master (CSM), SAFe, or PMP (or equivalent real-world mastery, we value results over certificates).
Familiarity with AI project delivery (experimentation tracking, model versioning, evaluation cycles).
Exposure to multi-platform delivery (iOS + Android + backend).
Personal travel adventures that give you intuition for what makes a great travel app.
What We Offer Full remote flexibility with async-first collaboration and occasional virtual/in-person syncs.
Meaningful ownership: your technical decisions will define the product experience.
Opportunity to work at the intersection of AI and real-world travel by shipping features that make a tangible difference.
Supportive, high-autonomy environment with smart teammates.
