Help shape digital products that change lives. At The King's Trust, we're transforming the way young people, volunteers, supporters and colleagues experience our services through digital innovation. As our Product Owner, you'll play a key role in making that happen. This is an opportunity to shape digital products with real purpose, working alongside industry-leading partners to create innovative solutions that make a lasting difference to young people's lives.

Working with talented multidisciplinary teams, you'll turn user needs into practical, impactful digital solutions that make it easier for young people to access support, for volunteers to get involved, and for supporters to help us create brighter futures. You'll lead the direction of your products, owning the roadmap and prioritising the backlog to ensure we're always focused on delivering the greatest value. Using data, research and insight, you'll uncover opportunities, challenge assumptions and make informed decisions that improve the experience of our users. From discovery through to delivery, you'll help shape products that are intuitive, accessible and built around the people who use them.

Collaboration is at the heart of this role. You'll work closely with designers, developers, content specialists and stakeholders from across the organisation, bringing people together around a shared vision and ensuring great ideas become successful digital products.

What You'll Bring

• We're looking for someone who's curious, collaborative and passionate about creating products that solve real problems.
• You’ll have experience contributing to the delivery of digital products or services and be comfortable working in agile or hybrid environments.
• You'll know how to balance competing priorities, communicate a clear product vision and use evidence to make confident decisions.

You’ll Also Bring

• Experience managing product backlogs, roadmaps and delivery priorities.
• The ability to use user research, analytics and data to shape decisions and measure success.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to influence and build trusted relationships across teams.
• Experience writing user stories, acceptance criteria and other product documentation.
• An understanding of digital best practice, including accessibility, security, safeguarding and inclusive design.

If you're excited by the idea of creating digital products with real social impact, and enjoy working with passionate people who care about making a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
