Job description
Hello 👋
We’re hiring a Senior Product Owner! This is a pragmatic, hands-on product role emphasising product delivery. You will lead detailed discovery and delivery of enhancements to our core platform, partnering closely with engineers and UX to turn validated customer insights into clear, technically informed, and cost-effective solutions.
Your success in this role will depend on your strong technical instincts, deep understanding of web technologies—especially within analytics, tracking, APIs, UX and data—and your ability to balance customer focus with practical execution. You will actively translate strategic direction from the Product Manager into actionable, iterative development tasks without over-specifying or over-designing.
We’re looking for someone who excels at shaping real-world solutions, identifying quick wins, managing technical trade-offs, and maintaining clear and actionable backlogs that keep our delivery aligned to customer needs and platform integrity.
