Position Overview
We are looking for a highly driven Associate Product Owner to join the Twist Digital team. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment and enjoys taking products from idea → validation → MVP → launch.
As an Associate Product Owner, you will work closely with founders, developers, designers, and marketers to support and oversee multiple experimental products in parallel. Your responsibility is to help ensure each product has clear goals, strong market alignment, and consistent execution—while keeping teams focused, shipping fast, and moving toward real traction.
This role is ideal for someone who has been exposed to product ownership, business analysis, project coordination, or delivery roles—even through junior roles—and is now ready to level up into a high-ownership position.
Key Responsibilities
Product Ownership Support & Strategy Execution
- Support the Product Owner in defining MVP scopes, product goals, and feature priorities across multiple experimental products.
- Convert ideas into clear user flows, structured requirements, and actionable task breakdowns.
- Ensure teams stay aligned with the agreed product scope and avoid unnecessary features or distractions.
- Track progress and ensure every product moves forward weekly with clear deliverables.
Requirement Gathering & Documentation
- Collect and clarify requirements from internal stakeholders and translate them into clear user stories and acceptance criteria.
- Document workflows, product decisions, and feature expectations in a clear and organized manner.
- Assist in keeping product boards (Notion/Jira/Trello) updated and execution-ready.
Cross-Team Coordination & Delivery Support
- Coordinate with developers, designers, and marketing teams to ensure smooth execution across multiple projects.
- Follow up with team members to remove blockers and maintain delivery momentum.
- Support sprint routines such as planning, weekly demos, and progress check-ins.
- Assist in quality checks and ensure deliverables meet agreed standards before release.
Market Research & Validation Support
- Conduct quick competitor research, collect user insights, and assist in validating ideas before building.
- Support outreach tests, landing page experiments, and early traction activities.
- Help teams gather feedback and convert it into improvements quickly.
GTM & Marketing Alignment
- Work closely with the marketing team to ensure every product has GTM assets such as positioning, messaging, landing pages, and outreach material.
- Ensure products are built with conversion and user adoption in mind—not only features.
