Job description

Overview

Product Owner required to join a global professional services business based in Central London. This is effectively a remote role, with travel to London, Europe and the States on occasions for team collaboration. Travel and accommodation will be reimbursed.

The role requires expertise on both the business and technical sides of Audit. Experience with audit tools and platforms used by major firms (for example KPMG Clara, EY Canvas, PwC Aura, Deloitte Omnia) is highly desirable. In addition, candidates with strong audit process tool experience from a Product or Project/Programme perspective (including but not limited to firms such as BDO, Grant Thornton, RSM, Forvis, Mazars, etc.) will also be considered.

You will be the face of the business for the development team and should be able to operate separately from other Product Owners. You will build understanding of relevant audit topics for the features of a large product by liaising with both the Audit business and the Technology side.

You should be able to provide strong examples of success in areas such as handling last-minute changes to priorities. Global coverage may lead to early/late calls, and some flexibility with times is expected. This is not a standard 9am-5pm role.

Responsibilities

• Be the business face for the development team and liaise with Audit business and Technology.
• Develop and deepen understanding of audit topics relevant to the product features.
• Communicate effectively with stakeholders and manage changing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Support global collaboration with potential early or late calls; demonstrate dedication and flexibility.

Experience & Qualifications

• At least 5 years' experience as a Product Owner in a complex, global environment — preferably within the Big 4.
• Global experience is preferred; comfortable with non-standard hours due to global coverage.
• Strong Audit knowledge and exposure from a business perspective.
• Data-driven with experience using big data, analysis and research to inform product decisions.
• Experience developing, analysing and designing digital products and software.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with excellent verbal and written communication.
• Solid understanding of Agile methodologies.
• Proactive self-starter capable of managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Knowledge of MS Office and collaboration technologies.
• Teamwork, problem solving, initiative and integrity; excellent English language proficiency.
