Product Owner

Semarchy is looking for a well-organized Product Owner to join its Product Success team. While this is a Product Ownership role, the scope is unique, blending deep technical work with transversal product management. Our team is composed of creative, motivated, and talented engineers who develop innovative applications for data management, data integration, and data governance. If you have a penchant for B2B technology solutions, we would like to hear from you.

About the Role

Semarchy has grown into an industry leader in the data management space. We are searching for a Product Owner to support our development teams by owning the backlog for our Platform Infrastructure as well as Cross-Module Shared Services. This role implies a split focus:

• ~30% Shared Services: Owning the functional definition of transversal features such as the Platform Welcome Page, Administration Console, and common tooling shared across all modules.

As the Product Owner for this domain, you will bridge the gap between business requirements and technical implementation.

• Shared Services Ownership: Define requirements and specifications for the Platform Administration, Welcome Page, and other transversal tools. Ensure a consistent experience across different modules.
• Specification Definition:
• For Infrastructure: Translate high-level goals into technical workflows, API specifications, and deployment scenarios.
• For Shared Services: Create functional specifications and work with UX/UI designers on interfaces for platform management.
• Release Quality: Define acceptance criteria for both infrastructure capabilities and shared service features.
• Documentation & Enablement: Help conceptualize and write technical documentation (installation guides) as well as functional guides for platform administrators.
• Stakeholder Liaison: Act as the link between technical engineering teams and non-technical stakeholders, helping Support and Sales Engineering teams understand both deployment capabilities and platform administration features.
• Champion the products to internal and external audiences, talking to customers, partners, and field personnel.

Qualifications

• 2+ years as a product manager or product owner in the B2B, SaaS, or technology space with a solid portfolio.
