Product Owner

As Product Owner — AXIS Apps, you will own the roadmap development for the AXIS content streaming Apps product. You will own and deliver the product backlog, engage with design and development teams day-to-day, and contribute to longer-arc strategic roadmap initiatives that fuel product growth across multiple device types and client deployments.

For this role you must be able to work on a hybrid basis with at least 2 days per week working in our office based in Mumbai Andheri.

Your Responsibilities

Roadmap and strategy

• Ideate and contribute to the strategic product roadmap for AXIS — identifying new features and initiatives that evolve the product and continue to meet and exceed customer expectations
• Act as the voice of the customer — gather and analyze customer feedback, market insights, and usage data to inform roadmap decisions for the AXIS Apps
• Manage and respond to customer feedback and improvement requests; embed continuous improvement into the roadmap

Backlog ownership

• Own end-to-end requirement gathering and writing — translate business needs, customer feedback, and strategic goals into clear epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria
• Manage and curate the product backlog, ensuring items are well-prioritised based on value generation, ROI, and alignment with broader product strategy and client delivery needs
• Provide sufficient analysis, context, and clear business value to enable developers to estimate, refine, and contribute to technical backlog items

Day-to-day delivery

• Engage with development teams day-to-day — leading backlog grooming, sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives
• Act as the primary point of contact for the scrum team
• Collaborate with Product Design and Product Engineering to plan, shape, and deliver upcoming development increments
• Work with Senior Product Management, Technology, and other stakeholders to set sprint and quarterly goals that align with product strategy

Customer issues and product evolution

• Take ownership of resolving customer issues, balancing short-term fixes with long-term product evolution
• Keep current with Agile / Scrum best practices, product management methodologies, and emerging trends in the streaming space

Your Requirements

You combine product judgement with the discipline to run a backlog day-to-day. You can hold a strategic conversation about market positioning in the morning and run a sprint planning session with engineers in the afternoon, and you treat both as serious work. You are customer-centric in practice — you understand what video viewers actually do, not only what the data dashboard shows.

Required

• 5+ years' experience as a Product Owner or in a similar product role
• Demonstrated experience building user-facing products across multiple device types (web, native mobile apps, connected TV)
• Demonstrated experience managing and delivering products across multiple product development squads simultaneously
• Demonstrated planning and management of product delivery — mitigating risks, escalating blockers and impediments
• Experience working in a deadline-driven delivery environment, ideally in a B2B2C or B2C context
• Demonstrated business acumen — able to connect product decisions to commercial outcomes
• Solid technical understanding to engage credibly with engineering teams
• Deep knowledge of Agile process and principles with demonstrable experience owning a product backlog
• Hands-on experience leading team ceremonies (backlog grooming, sprint planning, retrospectives)
• Customer-centric in practice — gathering feedback, running discovery sessions, translating insights into actionable product improvements
• Clear communication and presentation, with the ability to influence stakeholders at multiple levels of the business
• Analytical mindset, comfortable working with data to inform decisions

Valued

• Experience working on streaming, OTT, or set-top box products
• Knowledge of video players and video player technology
• Familiarity with AXIS or comparable UX management platforms
• Genuine interest in sport or entertainment content — useful for editorial judgement on what matters to the audiences our customers serve
