About Ovation
Ovation is a fast-growing technology company providing financial wellness solutions to credit unions, banks, financial counseling organizations, and employers. Our platform helps millions of people take control of their financial lives through digital tools, educational resources and AI-driven insights.
RoleWe’re looking for a confident and motivated Associate Product Manager to join our growing Product team at Ovation. You’ll work closely with our product, design, and engineering teams internally, while also being an external liaison directly with clients to help coordinate impactful digital experiences across our platforms.
In this role, you’ll translate client and user needs into clear product requirements, assist in managing backlogs, coordinate sprints, and help to ensure that what we build aligns with both business goals and user value. You’ll serve as part of the connective tissue between our internal teams and client partners to ensure communication is clear, expectations are aligned, and delivery runs smoothly from concept to release.
If you’re passionate about building digital products that make a difference and thrive in environments where collaboration and communication matter as much as execution, we’d love to meet you.
Primary responsibilities:- Partner with Product and Engineering leads to translate goals into clear, actionable user stories and acceptance criteria.
- Serve as a client-facing liaison by confidently representing Ovation’s product team, gathering feedback, and ensuring client priorities are understood and reflected in the roadmap.
- Coordinate sprint planning, backlog grooming, and prioritization sessions.
- Document requirements, workflows, and edge cases to ensure clarity across all stakeholders.
- Track progress and communicate updates proactively to both internal and external audiences.
- Support testing and validation of new features before release.
- Foster strong collaboration across Product, Design, Engineering, and client teams to ensure alignment and quality delivery.
- Empathetic Communicator. You can build trust quickly, listen deeply, and translate complex ideas clearly for any audience — clients, engineers, or executives.
- Curious. You love asking “why,” exploring how things work, and finding creative solutions.
- Action-Oriented. You move work forward with focus and organization, navigating ambiguity and roadblocks with confidence.
- Collaborative. You enjoy working across disciplines and helping diverse teams deliver their best work.
- Client-Savvy. You’re comfortable leading conversations, managing expectations, and representing the team with professionalism and warmth.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or related field (or equivalent experience).
- 1–2 years of experience in product management, agile delivery, business analysis, or software development.
- Experience working with clients or external partners in a product or delivery role.
- Familiarity with agile tools (ClickUp, Jira, or similar) and frameworks.
- Strong organizational, analytical, and written communication skills.
- Excellent interpersonal and presentation skills; confident in client meetings and demos.
Ovation is a fully remote company with a collaborative and mission-driven team culture. We’re VC-backed and led by experienced founders with a track record of building successful, impactful companies. We offer a generous healthcare package, 401(k) plan, and flexible time off. While we work remotely, we value meaningful connection and come together in person when it counts. As an early member of our growing team, you’ll have a measurable influence on the direction of our product and company.
CompensationOur compensation package is competitive and will be commensurate with the experience and qualifications of the successful candidate.
