Product Owner (0→1 Ideas Prototyping)

Red Sky is a startup studio and venture builder working in strategic partnership with Tar Heel Capital Pathfinder. We identify market opportunities, validate business ideas and build digital products from concept to MVP. Our work moves fast. We turn an initial idea into structured research, discovery and a testable product direction within weeks, not months. We do not assume that every idea should be built. Our role is to gather enough evidence to decide whether to build, pivot or stop. You will work with a small cross-functional MVP team across product, design, technology, research and go-to-market.

Your Role

As a Product Owner you'll validate early-stage ideas, lead discovery efforts, and own product development from sketch to MVP and beyond. You’ll shape direction, prioritize features, coordinate cross-functional teams, and ensure that what we build actually solves real user problems. This is not a backlog-management position. You will be expected to challenge ideas, make recommendations and take ownership of product and business outcomes.

What You'll Do

• Lead discovery of new product ideas - define user needs, business goals, and technical constraints,
• Led user interviews, customer safaris, and market research to shape product strategy and identify key user pain points,
• Translate insights into detailed product requirements - from high-level vision to edge cases,
• Partner with design, engineering, and stakeholders to build and launch MVPs quickly and iteratively,
• Own and evolve the product roadmap, prioritizing initiatives based on data, impact, and feasibility,
• Define, monitor, and report on KPIs and product success metrics,
• Facilitate sprints, workshops, and cross-functional alignment to keep the team focused and fast,
• Support go-to-market strategies, including positioning, pricing, and feedback loops post-launch.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience launching 0→1 digital products,
• Strong product discovery and customer research capabilities.
• Fluency in modern product development: Discovery, Lean Startup, Continuous Delivery, Agile,
• Experience writing user stories, specs, and collaborating closely with design & dev,
• Familiarity with: Miro, Clickup, Figma and product analytics tools,
• Hands-on experience prototyping an AI-enabled product, feature or internal workflow.
• Practical understanding of LLM-based products, including their capabilities and limitations.
• Understanding of common AI product risks, including hallucinations, inconsistent outputs, privacy, security and model dependency.
• Comfort in high-autonomy, low-structure environments,
• Strong communication in both English and Polish.

Nice to Have

• Background in UX research or behavioral science,
• Experience in no-code/low-code prototyping,
• Business modeling or financial forecasting exposure.

What we offer

• B2B contract, 9 000 – 11 000 PLN net / month
• 26 paid days off yearly,
• 100% remote or office work (Szczecin),
• 3,000 PLN annual personal development budget.
• Access to Multisport Plus, Medicover Premium, and group insurance,
• High ownership and direct impact on what gets built and launched,
• Work in a small, ambitious team that builds real products fast.
