About The Company
Turning marketing into a market-domination weapon, we created a new category - the marketplace for future customers. Businesses shop for leads as they shop for products in e-commerce: you see everything about a lead before you buy - full transparency, control, and predictable outcomes. We're the #1 lead marketplace in the USA, and we're accelerating.
Role overview
We are looking for a Product Owner to ensure that the most valuable product decisions are executed efficiently, shipped quickly, and delivered in the right order. You will own the "how and when" of the product, turning direction into reality while maintaining speed, clarity, and high delivery quality. You will work in close partnership with a Product Manager, who owns direction ("what and why"), while you own delivery flow, backlog quality, and release readiness.
Requirements
- 2+ years as a Product Owner making real scope decisions, on a team of 8+ engineers.
- You optimize for value shipped, not tickets closed, and can explain calls where you shipped less to deliver more.
- You can reason about cost of delay and effort vs value out loud, not just in story points.
- You read API contracts and talk about service boundaries without a translator; Node.js / microservices is a plus.
- Your specs are praised by engineers; we will ask to see real tickets you wrote.
- English B1/B2+.
- AI-first by default — if you are not already using AI to 3x your output, you will be behind our engineers.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You'll Be Doing
- Take product briefs and decompose them into shippable increments. A 3-week ticket is a planning failure, and it is yours.
- Own the backlog end-to-end: acceptance criteria, edge cases, definition of done, all in place before an engineer touches anything.
- Weigh every increment against its cost: engineering effort vs expected value and cost of delay. Cheap and high-value ships first; expensive and speculative waits.
- Prioritize with a visible score, not a feeling. Anyone can challenge it; you defend it with numbers.
- Own communication outward: founders, sales, support, and the PM always know what's shipping, what's next, and what changed, without anyone interrupting the team to ask.
- Keep the team unblocked and own the delivery numbers (cycle time, predictability, carryover, QA flow) as tools to spot problems early. Hygiene, not the mission.
- Push back on the PM when a brief is not buildable. That friction is the system working.
This is not for you if
- You see yourself as a delivery manager who moves tickets. The "what ships" decisions are yours to make, not yours to receive.
- Your main skill is running ceremonies.
- You sequence by gut rather than by value and cost.
- You want to own product direction. That is a different role.
What we expect from you (first 3 months)
- We don't do long onboarding. Access on day one, context in days, a real problem in week one. We hire people who create value with incomplete information, because that is the job every day after probation too.
- End of month 1: you know the codebase map and the team; the queue is fully yours, continuously ordered with a visible score; baseline flow metrics captured (cycle time and WIP), because you cannot improve what you did not measure.
- End of month 3 (the bar): cycle time visibly better than your month-1 baseline with before/after to show; founders fully out of the delivery loop (prioritization, scope, and ship decisions run without us); briefs turning into shipped product, in the right increments, without anyone pushing.

How we work with you: honest checkpoints at 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months. We judge trajectory, not perfection. Wrong fast and corrected beats slow and safe. If the fit is wrong, we both know by month 2 and say it out loud.
