We’re seeking a tactical Product Owner who is solely focused on the delivery of our product roadmap. 

At SimplePractice, we have 30,000 private practice clinicians using our best-in-class platform to run great businesses and deliver great care to clients. Due to our unique position as the innovator in our market and our fanatic commitment to customer feedback we’ve built a backlog of over 30 validated projects that will solve some of the most challenging problems for private practice owners in the health and wellness space. The only challenge we face is that our current team can’t write stories and requirements fast enough. That’s why we’re growing our smart, selfless, and disciplined product team in order to execute on our ambitious product roadmap. 

In this role, you will go beyond just define requirements. You’ll be the biggest supporter for making your projects a success by...

• collaborating with all internal teams and working closely with design to define requirements that deliver immediate customer value while also advancing the long term vision for the platform,
• collaborating with engineering on milestone break downs, rollout plans, and scope negotiation in order to refine requirements and designs that communicate the final scope of projects to build,
• participating in kick offs with the engineering squad,
• supporting the engineering team during development to answer questions and find solutions to challenges that arise during development in order to ensure the project’s success,
• managing all aspects of project rollouts (testing, support team training, help center articles, release notes, marketing collaboration, etc…)

This role will work closely with our CTO, CEO, and VP of Engineering. Demonstrate great work, great judgement, and adapt to our unique, high functioning development process and you’ll quickly earn a tremendous amount of responsibility, autonomy, and professional opportunity.
