Job description

The role

We're looking for a Product Owner to join our Commerce Product team and help shape the continued evolution of Propel, our technology platform for airport products and services.

Initially, you'll lead an important programme bringing MAG's turn-up parking journeys into Propel. You'll work closely with colleagues across Cavu and MAG to create a modern, scalable experience that supports customers who pay for airport parking or pick-up and drop-off services on arrival.

You'll be part of a cross-functional squad, working alongside a Tech Lead and Delivery Lead, as well as engineers, quality assurance and UX specialists. You'll have the autonomy to shape your product area, supported by a wider Product and Technology community when you need it.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a high-profile product roadmap, balance customer and commercial priorities, and help build technology that can scale across airports and international B2B markets.

What will make you successful in the role?

You Will:

Own and continually refine the product backlog, keeping it aligned with customer needs, commercial goals and relevant B2B market opportunities.

Shape and communicate a clear roadmap, using evidence to make thoughtful decisions when priorities compete.

Translate business and technical needs into clear epics, user stories and acceptance criteria.

Act as the point of accountability for product scope, sequencing and priorities.

Work closely with engineering, architecture, UX, delivery, commercial teams and external partners to turn complex requirements into valuable product outcomes.

Lead backlog refinement, sprint planning, reviews and retrospectives with your cross-functional squad.

What's in it for you

• 25 days' holiday, increasing with service up to 28 days
• Option to buy up to 10 extra days, plus four flexible bank holidays
• 10% company pension
• On-site gym
• A range of flexible benefits and discounts, including up to 50% off Cavu products such as Escape Lounges and Airport Parking
• Rail and retail discounts
• Two paid volunteering days per year
• Access to health and wellbeing events, ID&E activities and learning opportunities
• Formal and informal development, including mentoring programmes and learning grants
• Enhanced parental leave, subject to terms and conditions
