The Role

Pasito is hiring a Product Owner to lead the development of key products, including the broker and carrier enrollment workbench, and AI Extractions and plan processing products. This role bridges customer needs and technical execution, reporting to the VP of Product & Data.

The Product Owner will take full ownership of the product and feature lifecycle, from idea to launch and beyond. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who is exceptionally organized, an excellent communicator, and excited to own execution end-to-end.

What You’ll Do

Own the full product lifecycle:

• Take products and features from concept to launch and beyond
• Define requirements, write clear product specs, and manage execution through delivery
• Ensure high quality and usability before anything ships

Drive day-to-day product execution:

Work closely with engineering, design, data, quality assurance, and forward-deployed teams to prioritize, scope, and ship features. Maintain clear roadmaps and ensure timelines are met. Identify tradeoffs quickly and keep development moving forward.

Bridge customer needs and product decisions:

• Work closely with internal teams and clients to understand workflows, pain points, and opportunities
• Translate real-world use cases into clear product requirements

Own communication and rollout:

• Partner with Marketing to clearly communicate product updates and launches
• Create high-quality written materials (release notes, product docs, internal updates)
• Ensure messaging is clear, polished, and aligned with product value

Enable internal teams:

• Train forward-deployed, sales, and client teams on new features and workflows
• Create documentation and materials that make products easy to understand and use
• Act as the internal expert for your product areas

Who You Are

• An exceptional communicator with outstanding written and spoken English
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, and skilled at multi-tasking
• Strong sense of ownership (you take responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks)
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
• Low ego, highly collaborative, and focused on building great products
• Naturally curious about how systems work and how to improve them
• User-focused; you ground decisions in a genuine understanding of the people who will use our products

Technical Experience We’re Excited About

• 2–5 years of experience in product, engineering, or a similar role
• Experience working cross-functionally with engineering, design, or technical teams
• Strong experience writing clear, structured documentation or product specs
