Product Owner - SaaS

We're partnering with this established global SaaS organisation to find a Product Owner who thrives on shaping the roadmap, owning a healthy backlog, and bringing engineering along on the journey.

The Role

• You’ll own the "what" and the "why" of your product area, working across multiple squads and initiatives.
• You’ll shape the roadmap, drive backlog prioritisation, and act as the connective tissue between customers, stakeholders, and delivery teams — championing outcomes over outputs and tying every decision back to strategic value.

What you’ll be doing

• Putting the customer first — building deep understanding of users and the market to ensure the product delivers maximum value.
• Owning and curating a prioritised backlog based on customer value, business value, and technical feasibility.
• Shaping and communicating the product roadmap, working closely with Product Managers on release timing and feature content.
• Collaborating with development teams on sprint planning, sprint goals, and clear acceptance criteria.
• Reaching out proactively to the right stakeholders to shape and clarify requirements before passing work to engineering.
• Acting as the primary point of contact for stakeholders across sales, operations, UX, marketing, data, and leadership.
• Running demos to gather feedback and validate direction.
• Serving as a product expert and sharing knowledge across teams.

What we’re looking for

• 3+ years in product management, product ownership, or a closely related discipline.
• Essential: experience working on SaaS products.
• A product mindset — comfortable shaping unclear briefs into a clear, prioritised backlog and roadmap.
• A self-starter who is proactive, curious, and takes initiative.
• Experience working across multiple squads on multiple initiatives concurrently.
• Pragmatic about methodology — comfortable picking the best from SAFe, Lean, Scrum, and Kanban rather than being a dogmatic agile evangelist.
• Strongly outcome-focused, with a track record of linking delivery back to strategic objectives.
• Skilled at bringing engineering along on the journey — collaborative, not directive.
• Data-and research-driven approach to decisions and measuring success.
• Excellent communicator and stakeholder influencer.
• Proven track record of launching successful products and delivering measurable business impact.
• Strong requirements-gathering skills, with the confidence to challenge stakeholders when needed.
