Product Owner

Manchester City Centre SaaS Scale-Up

Up to £50,000

Are you a technical minded Product Owner looking to make a real impact within one of Manchester’s fastest-growing SaaS scale-ups? This ambitious start-up is redefining the events and ticketing industry through its cutting-edge SaaS platform. Having generated £25M+ in revenue in its first year, the business is now on track to double in size next year-and product sits right at the heart of that growth.

To support this rapid expansion, we’re hiring a Product Owner to strengthen our product function. Working closely with the Head of Product, you’ll help shape the vision, design, and delivery of both established platforms and next-generation SaaS products.

  • Collaborate with engineers, UX designers, and stakeholders to deliver high-impact solutions
  • Influence technical decisions across architecture, APIs, integrations, and scalability
  • Measure success through KPIs, metrics, and clear business outcomes

What they’re looking for

  • Strong understanding of Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and the full SDLC
  • Experience working on SaaS platforms, including cloud technologies (AWS/Azure/GCP), microservices, and APIs
  • Ability to translate complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders
  • Proven experience managing backlogs, prioritisation, dependencies, and technical debt
  • Comfortable reading technical documentation or code to inform product decisions
  • Salary up to £50,000
  • 25 days annual leave + Bank Hols
  • The team are predominantly on site in their Central Manchester offices, however operate flexible hours and working patterns
  • Free tickets to sold-out events-from major gigs to high-profile sporting events (yes, really!)
