• Act as the primary liaison between Product Management and Engineering to support ISV and embedded-related development.
• Collect and refine requirements from ISV partners, market-facing Product Managers, internal teams, and end users.
• Coordinate the creation of mockups, prototypes, and requirement documentation.
• Maintain and prioritise the product backlog to maximise outcomes aligned with product strategy.
• Write and present Product Requirements Documents (PRDs).
• Review and approve functional specifications, ensuring alignment with intended use cases and partner needs.
• Oversee delivery progress and provide decisions that help remove blockers during development.
• Communicate updates and progress to stakeholders throughout the development lifecycle.
• Coordinate testing cycles, including UAT, alpha, and beta programmes.
• Collect, coordinate, and prioritise bug fixes and usability improvements.

• Strong understanding of software architecture and APIs, with the ability to translate technical concepts into clear product requirements.
• Full understanding of the Product Owner role within an Agile environment.
• Strong judgement and decision-making skills, with the ability to act quickly when required.
• Experience mentoring or advising teams on PO best practices.
• Ability to manage a multi-team backlog without requiring daily oversight.
