Arcadea Group | Product Owner

About Arcadea Group

Arcadea Group is a long-hold equity firm focused on scaling vertical market software businesses. Recruitment for this role is conducted by WMI, an Arcadea Group company, on behalf of Arcadea Group.

About the Role

We're looking for a Product Owner to turn defined product initiatives into shipped, high-quality software across a portfolio of vertical software businesses. These initiatives span both traditional applications and AI-driven products. This is a hands-on execution role for someone who is highly organized, ramps into new domains fast, and uses AI to work faster and sharper. 100% remote position, engaged as an independent contractor (PJ).

What You'll Do

• Take defined initiatives and own them through execution and delivery.
• - Learn each product's domain quickly and work directly with customers and business stakeholders to capture the context behind clear requirements.
• - Define the MVP for each initiative: scope the smallest release that delivers real value, and sequence what comes next.
• - Translate requirements into user stories, acceptance criteria, process flows, and development specs.
• - Build full, high-fidelity prototypes that look and behave like the real product to align delivery teams and stakeholders.
• - Lead the day-to-day delivery rhythm with developers and keep stakeholders updated on progress, blockers, and risks.
• - Build, prioritize, and maintain sprint-ready backlogs, and support testing, demos, and defect tracking.

What We're Looking For

• Skilled at defining MVPs and prioritizing backlogs against customer value and delivery constraints.
• - Proven ability to run multiple projects, teams, and backlogs at the same time without dropping quality.
• - Genuine interest and comfort using AI tooling in your daily workflow. AI is central to how we work across many products and domains.
• - Familiarity with frameworks for running development teams (e.g., Scrum, Kanban) and the judgment to apply the right one.
• - Confident leading meetings with developers, customers, and business stakeholders.
• - Strong communication through clear written requirements and high-fidelity prototypes.
• - Highly organized and delivery-focused, comfortable in industries with regulatory or operational complexity.

Education & Experience

• 3+ years as a Product Owner writing requirements and supporting delivery teams.
• - Experience across multiple domains, or a strong vertical software background, with a track record of getting up to speed in a new domain fast.
• - Fluent in Portuguese and advanced/professional English (required). You will work daily with both Brazilian and international teams, customers, and stakeholders.
• - Bachelor's degree in Business, Product Design, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred

- Deep, hands-on AI fluency: you use AI across your workflow, from building high-fidelity prototypes to backlog creation to building the skills and agents that generate development specs, and you know how to make that output trustworthy.
