Are you an experienced Technical Product Owner looking for an opportunity to make a genuine impact within a rapidly scaling technology business?
We're partnering with an ambitious, high-growth technology organisation that is entering an exciting new phase of expansion. Following significant investment and continued commercial success, the business is scaling its platform, technology capabilities and customer experience functions to support increasing demand and future growth.
This is an opportunity for a commercially minded Product Owner, Digital Product Manager or Technical Product Manager to take ownership of a customer-facing platform and play a pivotal role in shaping product strategy, user experience and platform evolution.
If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy solving complex challenges and want to influence product direction within a scaling technology company, this could be the ideal next move.
The Role
As Technical Product Owner, you will sit at the centre of Product, Technology and User Experience, owning the product roadmap and helping to define the future direction of a growing digital platform.
This is far more than a traditional backlog management role. You'll be expected to think strategically, identify opportunities for growth, challenge existing processes and ensure product decisions deliver measurable value for customers and the business.
You'll work closely with Development, UX, Operations and Commercial teams, balancing customer needs, technical requirements and business objectives to drive continuous improvement and innovation.
The successful candidate will be comfortable operating in a scale-up environment where priorities can evolve quickly, decisions need to be made at pace and adaptability is essential.

- Maintain a strong understanding of technical capabilities, dependencies and constraints.
User Experience & Customer Journey
- Partner with UX and Design teams to optimise customer journeys and platform usability.
- Champion user-centred design principles and data-driven decision making.
- Leverage customer feedback, analytics and behavioural insights to identify improvement opportunities.
- Validate concepts, user flows and product features before development begins.
- Ensure every product decision balances customer value with commercial outcomes.
Stakeholder Management
- Act as the key link between Product, Engineering, UX and Business stakeholders.
- Facilitate product workshops, discovery sessions and roadmap planning activities.
- Present product priorities, progress updates and business cases to senior leadership.
- Build strong cross-functional relationships and influence decision-making across the organisation.
About You

Essential Skills & Experience
- Proven experience as a Technical Product Owner, Product Owner, Product Manager or Digital Product Manager.
- Experience owning digital products, SaaS platforms, marketplace platforms or customer-facing technology solutions.
