Digital Product Owner, App Development
Starts in August! Anaheim, CA – 100% onsite (Monday-Friday) – 6-7 month contract with potential extension or conversion.
About the role
We’re looking for an execution-focused Product Owner to lead the build-out of a large-scale digital rewards ecosystem that will power one of Orange County’s most exciting destinations. This opportunity is ideal for someone who loves taking products from development through launch and excels at tactical execution. The discovery and strategy phases have already been completed. You’ll step in during active development to drive execution, manage priorities, coordinate third-party technology partners, and ensure multiple digital products launch successfully.
Your primary responsibility will be leading the implementation of a new digital rewards and loyalty platform, targeted to launch between December 2026. This initiative spans multiple integrated technologies and vendor partners. This role is less about defining long-term product strategy and more about driving execution across a complex ecosystem of third-party technology partners to deliver high-quality digital experiences on aggressive launch timelines.
You’ll also help oversee several additional digital products, including:
- A new mobile app
- Multiple websites
- Interactive maps and AI-powered customer concierge experiences
Unlike a traditional Product Owner role supporting an internal engineering team, you’ll own products delivered through a network of third-party technology partners. You’ll gather requirements, prioritize work, coordinate vendors, manage releases, and ensure each integration works together to create one seamless customer experience.
Responsibilities
- Own delivery of a complex digital rewards program from development through launch.
- Act as the Product Owner across multiple third-party technology partners, ensuring deliverables, timelines, and integrations remain on track.
- Translate business needs into PRDs, user stories, acceptance criteria, workflows, and implementation plans.
- Coordinate sprint planning, release tracking, UAT, production readiness, and post-launch support.
- Partner directly with third-party vendors to clarify requirements, answer product questions, review deliverables, and resolve blockers.
- Manage API and SDK integrations across mobile, web, loyalty, ticketing, mapping, AI, and customer engagement platforms.
- Collaborate with Marketing, Operations, Technology, Data, and external partners throughout the product lifecycle.
- Monitor timelines, identify risks, remove blockers, and drive projects to completion.
- Use customer feedback and analytics to recommend ongoing product improvements.
- Ensure digital products meet accessibility, privacy, and security standards.
Requirements
- 5-10 years of experience as a Product Owner, Digital Product Manager, or Digital Delivery professional.
- Experience delivering consumer-facing web and mobile products.
- Proven success managing multiple third-party vendors and complex digital implementations.
- Strong experience writing PRDs, gathering requirements, creating user stories, and managing product backlogs.
- Working knowledge of APIs, SDKs, integrations, and enterprise SaaS platforms.
- Experience managing sprint planning, release cycles, and implementation timelines.
- Highly organized with exceptional attention to detail.
- Comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment with multiple concurrent workstreams.
- Scrappy, collaborative, hands-on, and energized by bringing digital products to market.
Bonus Experience
- Loyalty or rewards platform implementations
- Ticketing, hospitality, entertainment, or sports technology
- Salesforce, Agentforce, CMS platforms, identity providers, or customer engagement technologies
