As a Salesforce Product Owner with CoverMyMeds, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring that limited Salesforce delivery capacity is converted into the highest‑value business outcomes. You will own the Salesforce product backlog end‑to‑end, balancing operational support, small‑to‑medium enhancements, and strategic initiatives across a complex, multi‑org Salesforce ecosystem.

This role serves as the single accountable owner for prioritization, sequencing, and value realization, partnering closely with Business Analysts, Salesforce Administrators, Developers, and business stakeholders to ensure work is intentionally defined, appropriately prioritized, and successfully delivered. This position offers an opportunity to shape the evolution of a mission‑critical Salesforce platform supporting multiple business functions, customer segments, and enterprise workflows.

This includes individuals currently on F-1 OPT, STEM OPT, or any other visa status that would require future sponsorship. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States on a permanent basis without the need for current or future sponsorship.
  
  
  

Responsibilities:

• Make clear, defensible tradeoff decisions based on business value, risk, capacity, and timing
• Define and maintain Salesforce product roadmaps that align with enterprise objectives and operational realities
• Establish and communicate clear product goals, outcomes, and success criteria
• Serve as the single point of accountability for what work is done and when, ensuring transparency and alignment with stakeholders
  
  
  

Stakeholder Partnership & Communication

• Partner with stakeholders across Sales, Legal, Operations, Finance, and other functional areas to understand priorities, constraints, and desired outcomes
• Facilitate prioritization conversations and manage competing stakeholder demands in a structured, value‑based manner

• Act as the primary escalation point for prioritization questions and scope tradeoffs
  
  
  

Collaboration with Delivery Team

• Partner closely with Business Analysts to ensure business needs are clearly understood, well‑defined, and ready for delivery
• Collaborate with Salesforce Administrators and Developers to align backlog priorities with delivery capacity and technical considerations
• Participate in sprint planning and backlog refinement to ensure work is appropriately sequenced and ready for execution
• Accept completed work based on defined outcomes and business value, not just functional completion
  
  
  

Requirements & Solution Alignment (Oversight, Not Ownership)

• Ensure user stories and acceptance criteria are complete, clear, and aligned to intended outcomes (authored primarily by Business Analysts)
• Validate that proposed solutions meet business objectives without prescribing detailed implementation approaches
• Maintain alignment between business intent, delivered functionality, and measurable outcomes
  
  
  

Quality, Adoption & Continuous Improvement

• Partner with Business Analysts and stakeholders to support UAT readiness and outcome validation
• Ensure delivered solutions are positioned for successful adoption through appropriate rollout planning and communication
• Use data, feedback, and outcomes to continuously refine backlog prioritization and roadmap decisions
  
  
  

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Technology or a related field, or equivalent experience, and typically requires 4 years of relative experience as a Product Owner, Product Manager, or similar role supporting Salesforce or enterprise platforms
• Proven experience owning and prioritizing backlogs in complex, high‑demand environments
• Strong ability to make and communicate prioritization and tradeoff decisions across competing stakeholder needs
• Experience working within Agile delivery models (Scrum, SAFe, or similar).
• Prior experience using Atlassian tools such as Jira and Confluence
• Strong understanding of Salesforce capabilities and enterprise business processes (Salesforce Administrator or Advanced Administrator certification preferred)
• Excellent communication, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Demonstrated ability to partner effectively with Business Analysts, Administrators, and Developers without absorbing their responsibilities
• Detail‑oriented, highly collaborative, and resilient in the face of ambiguity and competing priorities
