Job description

Description

System C builds technology that joins up health and social care services. We're looking for a Product Owner to take end-to-end ownership of the product backlog for one of our market-leading solutions, working closely with Product Management, Engineering, UX and customers to deliver outcomes that matter. You'll translate real user needs into clear user stories and acceptance criteria ensuring efficient delivery and testability, prioritise ruthlessly, and guide the team through delivery to release.

What you'll be doing

• Convert product requirements into well-formed user stories, acceptance criteria and supporting collateral (e.g. release notes, document to support usage and implementation).
• Own and prioritise the backlog, providing visibility and direction to sprint goals and release plans ensuring alignment with Product Management and the linked business goals.
• Act as the voice of Product and the customer within the development process and have decision making responsibility on how the requirements are met to deliver the customer value.
• Collaborate with Engineering and UI/UX, joining ceremonies, clarifying scope and removing blockers.
• Run customer show & tells and focus groups to validate value and sharpen requirements.
• Track progress against agreed release dates, managing risks, dependencies and stakeholder expectations.
• Become a domain expert, able to demo features internally and externally and contribute to go-to-market materials.

About you

• Pragmatic, collaborative communicator who adapts your message to the audience.
• Skilled at writing clean, simple stories and acceptance criteria; comfortable with lifecycle tools (e.g. Jira).
• Decisive and organised, with sound judgement on when to elevate.
• Thrive in ambiguous, fast-changing environments, showing humility, ownership and integrity.

Why System C?
