Location: Baton Rouge, Louisiana (3 days a week in the mid-city office minimum)

About Us:

Envoc is a passionate, innovative team driven by a love for problem-solving and building meaningful software that helps businesses and the community flourish. We are a 21-year-old, left- and right-brained creative innovation technology company with a startup mentality—blending creativity, innovation, and technology to push boundaries and deliver exceptional experiences. We are committed to our core values. Are you one of us?

We're looking for the next Envocean, a mid-to Senior-Level Scrum Product Owner who can help guide our products to new heights.

Role Overview:

Are you bored at your current position? Are you underutilized? Do you have talents and skills that are not being stretched?

If you peruse our website (envoc.com), you will see we do many diverse, innovative, and exciting projects. We need a Scrum Product Owner to manage and grow our portfolio of ongoing products—both internal innovations and client-facing solutions. In this role, you will lead multiple product teams and mentor product owners, developers, and scrum masters.

This is not just another Product Owner role. You’ll be at the forefront of managing exciting new internal and external innovations, helping clients transform their ideas into reality, and driving the future direction of Envoc’s solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the Product Vision: Manage the product backlog and roadmap for multiple ongoing projects, ensuring alignment with company goals, client needs, and market trends. Our Solutions Architects have already done the heavy lifting, and our UI/UX prototyping team already has a good idea of what we are creating. Core Value: Be the Innovator
• Lead Multiple Teams: Oversee the delivery of both internal products and client-driven innovations, ensuring quality, timeline, and budget expectations are met. Core Value: Be the Professional
• Mentorship: Provide leadership and mentoring to other Product Owners, developers, and Scrum Masters, helping them hone their skills in agile methodologies and product management. Core Value: Giving Wisdom Away
• Stakeholder Collaboration: Engage with internal teams and external clients to gather requirements, refine product goals, and communicate progress effectively. Core Value: Be Personally Accountable
• Innovation Champion: Be the driving force behind internal innovations, constantly pushing for creative solutions to complex problems that impact our team, clients, and the wider market. Core Value: Be the Innovator
• Continuous Improvement: Drive the adoption of best practices within the teams, encouraging iterative improvements and fostering a culture of feedback and learning. Core Value: Live a Lifestyle of Learning
• Client Success: Ensure that products being developed for clients exceed expectations and deliver impactful business value.
• Agile Expert: Facilitate sprint planning, backlog grooming, and other agile ceremonies while helping to uphold and refine Scrum practices across the organization.

What We're Looking For:

• 3-7+ years of experience as a Product Owner or in a similar role, managing software development projects in an agile environment.
• Proven success managing multiple products simultaneously in a fast-paced, agile environment.
• Experience working with both internal and client-facing products, balancing innovation with business needs.
• Strong understanding of Scrum and other agile methodologies, including experience mentoring teams on these practices.
• Excellent communication skills with a knack for simplifying complex technical issues and making decisions quickly.
• Demonstrated leadership in guiding and developing other product owners, scrum masters, and development teams.
• Ability to translate business objectives and customer needs into well-defined user stories and product roadmaps.
• Technical fluency—you don’t have to code, but you should be comfortable discussing architecture, APIs, and integrations.
• Experience with agile project management tools (e.g., Jira, Azure DevOps, Trello) and product management tools (e.g., Aptio TargetProcess).
• Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) or Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO) certifications are a requirement; however, if you commit to getting one within the first 30 days of your employment, we will accept that!
