Qualifications

• 3+ years’ experience as a Product Owner (or equivalent product delivery role) in an agile software environment, ideally with B2B products.
• Strong ability to translate customer/stakeholder needs into well-structured epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Experience prioritising work using value, risk, and effort trade-offs; comfortable making decisions with imperfect information.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to align diverse stakeholders and explain "why" as well as "what".
• Working knowledge of Scrum/Kanban and agile delivery practices (refinement, planning, demo/review, retrospectives).
• Comfort collaborating with technical teams and discussing APIs, integrations, data flows, and non-functional requirements (performance, resilience, security).
• Analytical mindset and familiarity with using metrics to inform product decisions (e.g., usage analytics, funnel/conversion, defect/incident trends).
• Desirable Experience with data products and/or the automotive domain (vehicle identification, valuations, provenance/history, risk signals).
• Experience working in a global or multi-country organisation with distributed teams and stakeholders.
• Understanding of service operations: incident management, availability monitoring, and approaches to managing technical debt.
• Familiarity with discovery techniques (hypotheses, experiments, user interviews) and outcome-based roadmapping.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., PSPO, SAFe POPM) are a plus but not required.

Responsibilities

• Own and continuously refine the product backlog; write clear epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Partner with Product Management and stakeholders to shape roadmap outcomes and prioritise work to maximise customer value and business impact.
• Run effective backlog refinement and support agile ceremonies (planning, stand-ups, review, retro), ensuring the team is clear on scope and intent.
• Collaborate daily with Engineering, QA, UX, Analytics, and Support to deliver valuable increments and reduce delivery risk.
• Manage dependencies across teams and systems, identifying integration points and addressing blockers early.
• Support release planning and go-to-market readiness (release notes, user documentation, enablement for Sales/Support as needed).
• Use data (usage analytics, customer feedback, incident trends) to validate outcomes and drive continuous improvement.
• Promote strong product practices: definition of ready/done, quality thresholds, and pragmatic ways to pay down technical debt.
