Provide an embedded fractional product owner who runs stakeholder intake, customer-problem validation, backlog prioritization, requirement definition, and engineering handoffs. The initial engagement would be a fixed-scope product-definition sprint, followed by an optional monthly service managing backlog readiness and cross-functional alignment.

Multiple companies are hiring dedicated bridge roles between business stakeholders, customers, operations, and development teams. This indicates recurring demand for the workflow, although the evidence does not establish a novel product category.
