Job description

HI THERE! We're Sweed sweedpos.com, a product-driven startup building an all-in-one cannabis retail platform. We're looking for a Product Owner to join our team remotely and help us scale and optimize our platform. ABOUT US At 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. We 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. WHY WE’RE DOING THIS At 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. The industry is evolving rapidly, and we’re here to drive that transformation—making cannabis retail more efficient, accessible, and customer-friendly. WHERE WE ARE NOW We’ve been on the market for 7 years, continuously growing and refining our product. Our 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. TEAM STRUCTURE Our total team size is over 200 people: The 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. Each team is led by a Team Lead and a Product Owner, ensuring effective collaboration and clear direction. Meanwhile, our CEO, account managers, and customer success team are based in the USA, working closely with us to align product development with business and user needs. WHY WE’RE HIRING We’re strengthening our product team and looking for a Product Owner to help shape and improve the eCommerce experience within Sweed’s B2B SaaS platform. This is a hands-on, end-to-end product role where you’ll take ownership of features from discovery and requirements definition through development, launch, and iteration. You’ll work closely with engineering and stakeholders, turning business needs and customer problems into clear product solutions. Our eCommerce direction focuses on customer-facing shopping experiences — from product discovery and browsing to storefront functionality, checkout, and the overall online shopping journey. The goal is to help retailers deliver a seamless shopping experience to their customers. We’re looking for someone with a strong product mindset, solid business analysis skills, and a high level of ownership — someone who can break down complex problems, pay attention to important details, make well-reasoned product decisions, and drive features through the full development lifecycle. WHAT YOU’LL BE WORKING ON - Own eCommerce product features end-to-end — from discovery and understanding business needs through development, launch, and iteration. - Work directly with customers and stakeholders to understand their challenges, gather feedback, and identify opportunities for product improvements. - Translate business needs into clear, structured product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria. - Analyze user journeys, business logic, dependencies, and edge cases to ensure solutions are well thought through before development. - Manage and continuously adapt the product roadmap, aligning priorities with business goals, customer needs, and changing requirements in a fast-paced, agile environment. - Manage and prioritize the product backlog, balancing customer needs, business value, technical constraints, and development capacity. - Collaborate closely with Engineering, Design, QA, and other Product teams to ensure smooth execution and delivery. - Take ownership of feature delivery, proactively resolve blockers, clarify requirements, and keep stakeholders aligned through transparent communication. - Monitor product performance after launch, analyze customer feedback and relevant metrics, and identify opportunities for further improvements. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR - 2+ years of experience as a Product Owner, Product Manager, or in a comparable hands-on product role. - Experience working with B2B SaaS or other complex technology products; eCommerce or retail experience is a strong plus. - A background in Business Analysis or Project Management is a strong plus, especially for candidates who have transitioned into Product Management. - Proven experience owning product features end-to-end — from discovery and requirements definition through development, launch, and iteration. - Strong business analysis skills, with the ability to translate complex business needs into clear product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria. - Ability to analyze user journeys, business processes, dependencies, and edge cases, with strong attention to detail. - Experience working closely with Engineering, Design, QA, and other stakeholders throughout the product development lifecycle. - Strong analytical and structured thinking, with the ability to break down complex problems, analyze product metrics, evaluate trade-offs, and make data-driven product decisions. - Ability to prioritize features and improvements based on customer needs, business value, technical constraints, and available resources. - Proactive mindset, high ownership, strong communication skills, and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment. - English at B2+ level or higher for effective collaboration with international and US-based stakeholders. WHAT ELSE MATTERS? - Product thinking — You start with the problem, customer context, and expected outcome rather than immediately jumping to features. - Execution focus — You can define a direction and then work closely with the team to turn it into a real product. - Entrepreneurial mindset — You identify opportunities, propose solutions, and find a way forward without relying on a rigid process. - Structured thinking — You can organize incomplete and conflicting information, identify missing context, and explain your reasoning clearly. - Adaptability — You can adjust your approach when priorities, customer needs, or market conditions change. - Communication — You make progress, decisions, risks, and dependencies visible to the people around you. - Business judgment — You understand that a B2B product needs to balance long-term strategy with customer and commercial realities. - Accountability — You are comfortable making decisions and taking responsibility for the result. WHY JOIN SWEED? - Real product influence — You will have the opportunity to shape product direction, not only manage an existing backlog. - Space 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. - Ambitious scale — We’re preparing the platform for further growth, new markets, and new industries. - Direct customer impact — Your decisions can influence retailers’ revenue, operational efficiency, and customer experience. - Meaningful ownership — Strong Product Owners can expand their scope and take responsibility for larger product areas based on their impact. - Complex product challenges — You’ll work with a connected platform that combines multiple retail products and business processes. - International environment — You’ll collaborate with a globally distributed team and US-based customers and stakeholders. WHAT WE OFFER - Compensation in USD (B2B contract with the US company) - 100% remote – We’re a remote-first company, no offices needed! - Flexible working hours – Core team time: 10:00-16:00 CET (flexible per team) - 20 paid vacation days per year - 12 holidays per year - 3 sick leave days - Medical insurance after probation - Equipment reimbursement (laptops, monitors, etc.) HIRING PROCESS - Recruiter Call — approximately 45 minutes - Technical Interview — 60 minutes - Product Competency Interview — 60 minutes - Interview with a team — 60 minutes
