You will operate with high autonomy, owning backlog prioritization to ensure the team is always focused on the highest-value work.

We are seeking a professional with a strong sense of ownership who navigates ambiguity and advances their expertise independently, without requiring step-by-step direction.
At MNP, you will work alongside a collaborative team of creative thinkers and problem-solvers. You will gain hands-on experience, tackle meaningful challenges, and grow your skills in an environment where your voice is valued, and your development is a priority.

  • Own the authorship of requirements and user stories, utilizing engineering as support for technical feasibility.
  • Partner with engineering throughout sprint cycles to clarify intent and conduct User Acceptance Testing (UAT).

Analysis & Independence

  • Build end-to-end prototypes at different fidelities to validate concepts and facilitate stakeholder decisions.
  • Work independently to produce decision-ready artifacts, demonstrating the personal accountability to improve processes and deliverables without being prompted for each step.
  • Proactively escalate blockers or misalignment with sufficient context for rapid resolution.

Skills and Experience:

  • 5+ years of experience as a Product Owner or Senior BA in a product-led environment.
  • Proven ability to produce decision-ready analysis and end-to-end prototypes.
  • Technically competent with the ability to partner with engineering on technical requirements.
