Job description

This is an exciting chance to join a high-growth fintech that's shaking up the SME lending space. With a newly launched, revenue-generating platform already live, this company is on a mission to simplify lending and deliver real impact to businesses across the UK.

Backed by an experienced leadership team and with a strong pipeline of product enhancements, the business is building out its product function to ensure new features land fast, smoothly, and with precision.

This is a role for someone who thrives in start-up environments, enjoys ownership and end-to-end visibility, and is passionate about building products that make a tangible difference.

As Product Owner, you'll sit at the heart of product delivery, working closely with the Head of Product, Operations, and engineering teams to keep sprints on track and turn ambitious ideas into reality. You'll act as the bridge between technical and commercial teams, ensuring user stories, priorities, and outcomes are crystal clear and measurable.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor sprint health metrics (velocity, burndown, cycle times) to pre-empt issues and keep delivery smooth.
• Own the Jira board, ensuring tickets, statuses, and priorities are well‑organised and visible.
• Work with engineering to break epics into detailed, testable user stories with strong acceptance criteria.
• Facilitate backlog grooming, sprint planning, and UAT sessions.
• Map and optimise lending workflows, identifying automation and UX improvements.
• Act as the daily link between Tech and Operations, capturing partner and broker feedback to shape product enhancements.

Essential Skills & Experience

• 2‑4 years in product ownership, product analytics, or business analysis within fintech, lending, or B2B SaaS.
• Experience with Jira and Agile delivery, plus a strong understanding of sprint health KPIs.
• A sharp ability to translate complex business challenges into user stories and measurable outcomes.
• A confident communicator who can move between technical detail and commercial priorities.

Desirable

• Exposure to SME lending, merchant cash advance, or broker ecosystems.
• Experience integrating with Open Banking, Companies House, or credit bureaus.
• Familiarity with event‑driven or microservices architecture.

Why Apply?

Join a founder‑led fintech where your product insight is not an afterthought but a core driver of success.

Work on a live platform, moving real money every day, with full visibility of end-to-end processes.

Shape the future of a product and team in a fast‑paced, high growth environment.

Competitive salary (£50K‑£70K DOE) with scope for progression as the business scales.
