Product Owner

We are looking for a structured, curious, and customer-focused Product Owner to join our cross-functional Agile team. This is a mid-level role suited to someone who is confident in delivery but looking to step up toward further responsibilities in the near future.

You will act as the critical bridge between Product, Engineering, UX, and our clients. You will translate product vision and commercial objectives into clear, structured, and actionable work for the scrum team, while developing deeper ownership of product outcomes, user experience, and data-informed decision making.

This role is ideal for someone with B2B SaaS experience and has a methodical, highly organised mindset whilst also being comfortable working with ambiguity and able to independently pick up new domains quickly. A background in development or technical delivery is highly beneficial, particularly if paired with a strong interest in product strategy, UX, and data.
