About the role

Job purpose:

The Product Owner is the execution arm of the product team and is accountable for translating product direction, roadmap initiatives, and customer needs into clearly defined, prioritised, and deliverable work for Agile development teams. The role owns the product backlog and sprint-level execution, ensuring that development teams understand what needs to be built, why it matters, and how successful delivery will be validated.

Core responsibilities:

Product Backlog and Prioritization

Own, maintain, groom, and prioritise the product backlog, ensuring alignment with product goals, customer needs, business value, and delivery dependencies.

Lead backlog refinement and ensure items are clearly defined, appropriately sized, prioritised, and ready for development.

Assess feature requests, enhancements, defects, and competing demands; recommend sequencing and trade-offs in collaboration with the Product Manager.

What you'll bring

Translate roadmap initiatives and customer or business needs into epics, user stories, workflows, business rules, and clear acceptance criteria.
Break down complex initiatives into manageable increments that can be delivered and validated through Agile sprints.
Clarify functional behaviour, use cases, edge cases, and dependencies for Engineering and QA.
Review completed work against acceptance criteria and confirm whether the agreed requirements have been met.
Agile Delivery and Team Enablement
Work as the product domain expert and primary point of contact for the development team on backlog scope and requirement clarification.
Participate actively in sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives, and other relevant Agile ceremonies; support the team in maintaining sprint-level momentum.
Monitor sprint goals, backlog readiness, scope changes, and cross-team dependencies, escalating risks through the appropriate channels.
Partner with Engineering and QA to support feature validation, quality, and delivery against agreed priorities.
Customer and Stakeholder Collaboration
Work with Product Managers and relevant customer-facing teams to understand customer feedback and translate it into actionable product backlog items.
Drive early feedback on new features and incorporate validated insights into backlog refinement and prioritization.
