Job description

As a Product Consultant at Kainos, you’ll sit at the intersection of users, technology, and delivery, helping teams build the right things, in the right way, for the right reasons.

You’ll own product outcomes end to end – from early discovery through to live operation – shaping backlogs, driving MVP thinking, and ensuring value is delivered in fast-paced, agile environments.

You’ll be a confident leader within your team, comfortable facilitating workshops, running agile ceremonies, and navigating ambiguity with stakeholders to reach clarity and consensus.

You’ll also play an active role in our Product capability, contributing to initiatives, mentoring others, and helping shape how we deliver great product work across Kainos.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Owning and maturing team backlogs, taking features from inception through to delivery
• Driving MVP thinking, clearly communicating value to teams and stakeholders
• Facilitating workshops to align stakeholders and resolve uncertainty
• Translating complex needs into clear, high-quality user stories
• Managing scope, dependencies, and priorities to deliver value within constraints
• Building trusted relationships across delivery teams and client organisations
• Coaching and developing colleagues, supporting performance and growth
• Contributing to bids, proposals, and wider sales activity where needed

What We’re Looking For

• Experience delivering bespoke software in agile teams for external clients
• Healthcare or UK public sector experience (essential)
• Strong understanding of the full software delivery lifecycle
• Excellent workshop facilitation and stakeholder management skills
• Confidence challenging decisions constructively and adapting communication styles
• Strong backlog management, prioritisation, and MVP delivery experience
• High-quality user story writing and requirements elicitation skills
• Experience explaining technical concepts to non-technical audiences
• Familiarity with agile methodologies and a passion for mentoring others
• Experience supporting sales activity (bids, proposals) is a plus
