Summary Generated by Built In

BIS Safety Software is a SaaS company on a mission to change how organizations manage safety, learning, and compliance. As our product team grows, we need someone who can turn a growing stream of ideas and customer requests into clear requirements for development. We're looking for a Product Requirements Specialist with the judgment to know what belongs in scope, the precision to document it properly, and the follow-through to keep work moving. 

About the role:

Product work at BIS runs through cases. A case holds the PRD, the scope, the mockups, and the tracking that carries a piece of work from definition through release. Your job is to take a case from roughly described to fully specified, then keep it moving across the finish line. 

That means writing the PRD with great care, working through mockups with our designers, catching edge cases before development starts, and tightening language until the intent is unambiguous. You'll also run frequent checks on the highest-priority cases in flight, so nothing sits stalled without anyone noticing. When something is blocked, you go straight to the person who can unblock it. 

You'll report to our Product Lead and work closely with our Product Managers, who bring the client context forward. This is the back half of product work: turning what's already been scoped into something buildable. 

Our preference is in-person at our Sherwood Park office, and that's the expectation if you're in the Edmonton area. If you're not from the area, this role can be remote. 

In this role, you'll be expected to:

  • Turn undeveloped cases into build-ready specs, writing PRDs and spec docs that catch edge cases and client use cases before development starts 
  • Work through mockups with designers and tighten language until a case is genuinely ready to hand off 
  • Run a daily check on the highest-priority cases, flagging what's blocked, waiting, or at risk of missing its target  
  • Go directly to the right person to unblock stalled work  
  • Own scope accuracy on the cases you touch, making sure what reaches development reflects what was actually agreed with the client  
  • Use AI as a core part of your workflow, from drafting specs to iterating on AI output rather than accepting a generic first pass  
  • Support release communications when needed, including release notes and flagging noteworthy updates to the right people  

You might be the right fit if you:

  • Catch edge cases and gaps that others miss, and would rather redo it right than ship it fast and wrong 
  • Take ownership without being walked through every step, and default to figuring it out over asking who can tell you – you make sure things don’t get stuck 
  • Hold a high bar on detail across every case, catching the small inconsistencies in wording, scope, and structure that cause rework later 
  • Push and follow up until something gets resolved, going directly to the right person instead of sitting on a problem 
  • Use AI daily in real workflows, with concrete examples of what you've built or automated, not just reformatting text 
  • Turn a vague ask into a precise, developer-ready spec in writing, and have examples you can share 

Bonus points if you have:

  • Prior product management or product owner experience 
  • Experience writing PRDs, spec docs, or similar structured documentation  
  • A customer experience or client-facing background you're looking to move into product  
  • Familiarity with concepts like AI agents, skills, and multi-step AI workflows  

Compensation and benefits:

  • Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
  • Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Life insurance and disability insurance
  • Health spending account
  • Flexible working hours
  • On-the-job training and growth opportunities
  • Free on-site parking
