About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Data Product Owner to own and evolve Calero’s SaaS Management Platform. This is a data-intensive role where success hinges on usage and financial modelling—ensuring data is accurate and drives real business decisions.
You will act as the primary customer advocate: listening intently to users, reviewing data driven scenarios, synthesizing feedback, and collaborating with engineers to deliver solutions that solve genuine problems.
Key Responsibilities
Product Ownership & Delivery
- Own and refine the product backlog, aligning features with business priorities, customer needs, and technical feasibility.
- Translate customer requirements into clearly defined problems, broken down as user stories, epics, and acceptance criteria with clear value focus.
- Drive ruthless value slicing — deliver features in small, high-impact increments to enable early feedback and reduce rework.
- Maintain predictable delivery and transparent road mapping, ensuring alignment between sprint outputs and roadmap commitments.
Data & Modeling Leadership
- Define and validate financial data models, ensuring figures (e.g., allocations, pricing, usage metrics) are accurate, consistent, and actionable.
- Hands-on configuration of automation/integration tools (e.g., Make, n8n, Zapier) to prototype and test data workflows; comfortably read and interpret API specs to validate feasibility.
Customer & Stakeholder Engagement
- Be the deep customer advocate and business user proxy:
- Deeply understand "Jobs To Be Done" in contract management, pricing, usage, and allocations.
- Demonstrate and test product capabilities as a business user would, ensuring they solve real problems.
- Lead customer workshops, proof-of-concepts, and pilot programs to capture feedback early.
- Provide evidence to stakeholders that delivered capabilities are fit for business purpose, not just technically complete.
Measurement & Reporting
- Define and track KPIs and success metrics for features and releases (e.g., adoption, usage, savings delivered, customer satisfaction).
- Report on performance to leadership and stakeholders, ensuring transparency on outcomes, risks, and trade-offs.
- Manage scope rigorously to deliver on time and prevent feature creep.
Qualifications & Experience
- 5+ years as a Product Owner in SaaS/B2B environments, ideally with finance-related products involving data modeling, contracts, pricing, usage, etc.
- Experience ensuring financial figures are modeled accurately and deliver business value; comfortable with data quality & analytics.
- Ability to read/interpret REST API documentation and configure basic automation/integration flows (e.g., n8n, Make, Zapier, Workato).
- Expertise in gathering/prioritizing requirements, writing acceptance criteria, and validating against real customer outcomes in data-heavy contexts.
- Proven agile delivery (Scrum/Kanban/SAFe) with emphasis on predictable, feedback-driven results.
- Bonus: FinOps, ITAM, SaaS financial management, or ERP/accounting integrations (e.g., NetSuite).
Key Attributes
- Customer-obsessed – represents the voice of the user at every stage.
- Outcome-driven – focuses on solving problems, not just shipping features.
- Analytical & accountable – measures impact and reports results clearly.
- Collaborative communicator – transparent with stakeholders, candid about trade-offs and risks.
- Technically curious – eager to explore APIs, integrations, and new automation tools.
What We Offer
- The opportunity to innovate on new growth product.
- A collaborative and innovative product culture.
- Exposure to enterprise SaaS ecosystems and workflow automation platforms.
- Competitive compensation, benefits, and professional growth opportunities.
