We're looking for a Product Owner to join our team remotely and help us scale and optimize our platform.\nAbout Us\nAt Sweed, we’re reimagining how cannabis retailers operate. Our enterprise-grade platform combines POS, eCommerce, Marketing, Analytics and Inventory Management into a single, seamless solution-eliminating the need for multiple third-party tools.\nWe believe in simplicity, efficiency, and innovation. That’s why we build for scalability and performance, making life easier for cannabis retailers while driving real business growth.\nWhy We’re Doing This\nAt Sweed, we believe in the medicinal potential of cannabis. It has been shown to help with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and many other conditions. Despite the lingering stigma, we see cannabis as a powerful tool for improving lives.\nThe industry is evolving rapidly, and we’re here to drive that transformation-making cannabis retail more efficient, accessible, and customer-friendly.\n Where We Are Now\nWe’ve been on the market for 7 years, continuously growing and refining our product.\nOur focus is on earning customer trust, which means constantly improving our delivery processes and rolling out new features. At the same time, we navigate the complex legal landscape of the cannabis industry, ensuring our platform remains compliant and future-proof.\nTeam Structure\nOur total team size is over 200 people:\nThe development team is distributed globally and organized into cross-functional product teams. These teams typically consist of 8-12 members, including front-end and back-end developers, QA specialists, and analysts.\nEach team is led by a Team Lead and a Product Owner, ensuring effective collaboration and clear direction.\nMeanwhile, ourCEO, account managers, and customer success team are based in the USA, working closely with us to align product development with business and user needs.\nWhy We’re Hiring\nWe’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.\nOur current focus spans several core product areas: eCommerce, Marketing, and Portal. eCommerce and Marketing cover customer-facing experiences such as online shopping, checkout, promotions, loyalty, and customer engagement. Portal is the operational backbone of the platform, where retailers manage inventory, payments, integrations, compliance-related workflows, settings, and other day-to-day store operations.\nWe’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.\nThe 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.\nWhat You’ll Be Working On\nOwn a product area end-to-end: from identifying and validating a problem through planning, delivery, launch, and evaluation of the result.\n\nTurn complex and ambiguous business challenges into clear product opportunities, priorities, and actionable plans.\n\nWork directly with customers and internal stakeholders to understand the underlying business problem instead of simply converting incoming requests into features.\n\nDefine the product vision, roadmap, priorities, scope, and expected outcomes for your area.\n\nConduct product discovery, validate assumptions, and evaluate different solution options before committing engineering resources.\n\nWork closely with a dedicated cross-functional engineering team throughout planning and execution.\n\nBalance customer needs, product strategy, technical constraints, commercial priorities, and long-term scalability.\n\nMake practical prioritization and scope decisions, including trade-offs between speed, quality, customer urgency, and long-term product value.\n\nCollaborate with Engineering, Design, Sales, Customer Success, Analytics, and company leadership.\n\nKeep stakeholders aligned through clear communication, transparent decision-making, and proactive expectation management.\n\nEvaluate what happens after launch and use customer feedback, product data, and business outcomes to determine whether the solution worked and what should happen next.\n\nIdentify problems and opportunities independently, initiate improvements, and take responsibility for moving them forward.\n\nHelp Sweed develop scalable product solutions that can support new customer segments, markets, and industries.\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\nApproximately 5+ years of relevant experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager. We care more about the quality and depth of your experience than an exact number of years.\n\nMeaningful experience building B2B SaaS or another complex B2B technology product.\n\nDirect experience working with external customers. Experience focused exclusively on internal products is unlikely to be a fit.\n\nProven end-to-end product ownership covering discovery, solution definition, validation, planning, delivery, launch, and evaluation.\n\nExperience working directly with a dedicated engineering team.\n\nProduct experience in eCommerce is our strongest preference. FinTech is also highly relevant, as are other complex B2B SaaS or enterprise products with sophisticated business logic, high transaction volumes, or interconnected product ecosystems.\n\nStrong logical and structured thinking.\n\nAbility to break ambiguous problems into manageable parts and identify what information is missing before proposing a solution.\n\nAbility to separate a customer or business problem from a specific requested feature.\n\nStrong product judgment and the ability to explain the reasoning and trade-offs behind your decisions.\n\nHigh level of ownership, independence, and personal accountability.\n\nStrong execution skills: you can move from an idea to a delivered and measurable result.\n\nClear communication and proactive expectation management.\n\nConfidence working with Engineering, business stakeholders, leadership, and international customers.\n\nComfort working in a dynamic environment with changing priorities and incomplete information.\n\nEnglish at B2+ level or higher, including the ability to discuss complex topics, present decisions, and work with US-based stakeholders.\n\nWhat Ownership Means to Us\nWe’re looking for someone who:\nnotices problems and opportunities without waiting for them to be assigned;\n\nasks the right questions before jumping to a solution;\n\ncan clearly explain their personal contribution and decisions, not only what the wider team did;\n\nunderstands how product work connects to customer and business results;\n\nfollows an initiative through execution and launch rather than stopping after discovery or ideation;\n\ncommunicates early when the scope, timing, or expected outcome is at risk;\n\nmakes progress in uncertain situations without waiting for detailed instructions;\n\nchallenges stakeholders constructively when a requested solution does not address the real problem;\n\ntakes responsibility for the outcome, not only for completing a particular part of the process;\n\ncan openly discuss unsuccessful decisions, lessons learned, and what they would do differently.\n\nNice to Have\nExperience with retail technology, POS, Marketing Technology, Loyalty, or customer engagement products.\n\nExperience working in both a mature product company and a startup or high-growth environment.\n\nExperience launching a new product, business, or major product direction.\n\nExperience working directly with US customers.\n\nFamiliarity with product analytics, experimentation, and customer research in a B2B environment.\n\nPractical experience using AI tools for research, analysis, prototyping, or other parts of the product workflow.\n\nWhat Else Matters?\nProduct thinking - You start with the problem, customer context, and expected outcome rather than immediately jumping to features.\n\nExecution focus - You can define a direction and then work closely with the team to turn it into a real product.\n\nEntrepreneurial mindset - You identify opportunities, propose solutions, and find a way forward without relying on a rigid process.\n\nStructured thinking - You can organize incomplete and conflicting information, identify missing context, and explain your reasoning clearly.\n\nAdaptability - You can adjust your approach when priorities, customer needs, or market conditions change.\n\nCommunication - You make progress, decisions, risks, and dependencies visible to the people around you.\n\nBusiness judgment - You understand that a B2B product needs to balance long-term strategy with customer and commercial realities.\n\nAccountability - You are comfortable making decisions and taking responsibility for the result.\n\nWhy Join Sweed?\nReal product influence - You will have the opportunity to shape product direction, not only manage an existing backlog.\n\nSpace for initiative - If you identify an important opportunity, demonstrate its business value, and are ready to own it, you can turn it into a real product investment.\n\nAmbitious scale - We’re preparing the platform for further growth, new markets, and new industries.\n\nDirect customer impact - Your decisions can influence retailers’ revenue, operational efficiency, and customer experience.\n\nMeaningful ownership - Strong Product Owners can expand their scope and take responsibility for larger product areas based on their impact.\n\nComplex product challenges - You’ll work with a connected platform that combines multiple retail products and business processes.\n\nInternational environment - You’ll collaborate with a globally distributed team and US-based customers and stakeholders.\n\nWhat We Offer\nSalary in USD (B2B contract with the US company)\n\n100% remote - We’re a remote-first company, no offices needed!\n\nFlexible working hours - Core team time: 10:00-16:00 CET (flexible per team)\n\n20 paid vacation days per year\n\n12 holidays per year\n\n3 sick leave days\n\nMedical insurance after probation\n\nEquipment reimbursement (laptops, monitors, etc.)\n\nHiring Process\nRecruiter Call - approximately 45 minutes\n\nProduct Competency Interview - approximately 60 minutes\n\nFinal Interview with Product Leadership - up to 60 minutes","description_format":"text","description_chars":10369,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Health insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["POS Systems","Cannabis & CBD"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T20:56:33Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":17,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.611,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":176,"expected_fill_days":42,"reasons":["conf:1","urgency","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sweedpos-product-owner","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sweedpos-product-owner.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T20:23:36Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10306,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":687769},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=687769"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsweedpos-product-owner"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsweedpos-product-owner"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsweedpos-product-owner"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/sweedpos-product-owner\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsweedpos-product-owner"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":768919}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"sweedpos.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":768919},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
