Product Owner - #2194373

Product Owner | Manchester | Hybrid

There’s a bigger product plan for 2027 and new engineering squads being put together to deliver it. You’ll join while yours is still taking shape, with ownership of what it builds first and room to decide how it works.

You’ll own discovery and delivery for the squad’s next three months. You’ll get in front of the people who use the software, work out where a change would make the biggest difference and get it into their hands.

The business is using AI to take some of the admin out of delivery, giving you more time for that work.

What you’ll be doing

• Run discovery with users and stakeholders. Get to the bottom of a request before it goes into the backlog.
• Own the backlog and decide what moves up the list when priorities change.
• Work with engineers to break work into releases, pick up dependencies early and keep things moving through Kanban.
• Go back to the people who asked for the change and find out whether it solved the problem.

What they’re looking for

• You’ve owned a software backlog and taken work from discovery through to release.
• You can talk through a time when what you learned from users changed what the team built.
• You’re comfortable working through options with engineers and explaining to a stakeholder why their request needs to wait.
• You’ve worked with Kanban. If you’ve used AI to improve how you work in product or delivery, they’d like to hear what helped.

What you get from us

• Salary up to £65,000.
• Remote working with a few visits to Manchester each month.
• A direct line to the Head of Product Delivery.
• The chance to shape how a new squad works with the rest of the business from day one.
