Product Owner

We're Sweed, a product-driven startup building an all-in-one cannabis retail platform. We're looking for a Product Owner to join our team remotely and help us scale and optimize our platform.

Why We’re Hiring

We’re strengthening our product organization and looking for experienced Product Owners who can take ownership of meaningful product areas and help us scale the platform.

Our current focus is on customer-facing retail experiences across eCommerce and Marketing. These areas include online shopping, checkout, promotions, loyalty, customer engagement, and the broader experience connecting retailers with their customers.

We’re not looking for someone who will simply manage a backlog or coordinate delivery. We need a strong product thinker who can take a complex and ambiguous business problem, create clarity around it, define the right direction, and own the result from discovery through launch and iteration.

The exact product area may depend on your background and strengths. For a genuinely strong candidate, we’re open to shaping a broader scope of responsibility.

What You’ll Be Working On

• Own your product stream end-to-end: from discovery and hypothesis validation through execution, release, and iteration

• Define and maintain a product roadmap aligned with company strategy; keep the backlog prioritized and meaningful

• Run product discovery using LLM tools (Claude, ChatGPT and similar): turn ambiguous problems into structured hypotheses, prototypes, and testable concepts — fast

• Prototype and validate product ideas quickly: turn rough concepts into user flows, mockups, or lightweight demos

• Conduct market and customer research to generate actionable insights that guide development priorities

• Collaborate effectively with design, engineering, sales, customer success, and leadership to align product work with business goals and customer needs.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years in a product role: PO, PM, Business Analyst, or Project Manager - what matters is proven ownership of outcomes, not just backlog management

• Experience working on web and/or mobile products

• Strong technical fluency — able to go deep with engineers, understand system constraints, and make informed build-vs-buy decisions

• Solid product judgment: you know what great looks like across SaaS UX, onboarding, activation, and product-led growth

• Comfortable working in ambiguous environments — you define the right next steps without waiting for detailed instructions

• Solid understanding of Agile (Kanban, Scrum; Waterfall is a plus)

• Excellent English (Upper-Intermediate+)

• Leadership mindset and ownership attitude

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience with AI tools in a product workflow

• Background in retail, POS, or compliance-heavy products

What Else Matters?

• Execution focus – You are not only good at defining direction, but also at driving delivery and making things happen.

• Resilience and judgment – You are comfortable working through ambiguity, pressure, competing priorities, and tough stakeholder conversations.

• Practical AI mindset – You are curious about AI and can identify where it creates real product or business value, without treating it as hype.

What We Offer

• Salary in USD (B2B contract with the US company)

• 100% remote – We’re a remote-first company, no offices needed!

• Flexible working hours – Core team time: 09:00-15:00 GMT (flexible per team)

• 20 paid vacation days per year

• 12 holidays per year

• 3 sick leave days

• Medical insurance after probation

• Equipment reimbursement (laptops, monitors, etc.)
