Product Owner

About the role

We are seeking a Product Owner to lead the delivery of a product area on our Private Equity Due Diligence platform. This role requires a deep understanding of private equity workflows and the ability to translate complex business needs into actionable product strategies.

Responsibilities

• Roadmap, Discovery, and Squad Delivery Leadership (80%)
  • Own the roadmap and backlog for an assigned product area
  • Define outcomes, milestones, and sequencing
  • Lead continuous discovery with stakeholders
  • Write and maintain epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria
  • Define success metrics and instrumentation requirements
  • Partner with Engineering to shape feasible technical approaches
  • Partner with Design to ensure UX quality and accessibility
  • Own release readiness for your scope
  • Drive post-release learning
• Other (20%)
  • Own squad ceremonies from a product perspective
  • Act as the primary interface for your product area to cross-functional partners
  • Establish and maintain a clear Definition of Done

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Economics, Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• 6+ years of experience in product management, product ownership, business analysis, consulting, or product strategy roles delivering software products in production environments
• Demonstrated experience owning a backlog and leading cross-functional delivery (Product/Design/Engineering), including prioritisation and dependency management
• Proven ability to translate ambiguous stakeholder needs into well-scoped epics/stories with measurable outcomes and acceptance criteria
• Experience using data to inform product decisions: defining KPIs, interpreting dashboards, and driving iteration based on evidence
• Strong stakeholder management skills; able to communicate trade-offs, progress, and outcomes to senior business leaders
• Outcome-driven roadmap ownership: sets OKRs/success metrics, sequences work pragmatically, and maintains focus on measurable impact
• Requirements excellence: produces clear PRDs/stories/acceptance criteria; anticipates edge cases and ensures testability
• Prioritisation discipline: makes trade-offs explicitly; balances user value, delivery risk, quality, and operational considerations
• Cross-functional leadership: aligns Engineering, Design, Data Platform, and Platform teams; manages dependencies without surprise work
• Product analytics: comfortable with KPI design, adoption measurement, and interpreting qualitative and quantitative signals to drive decisions
• Communication: concise, structured executive updates; clear decision logs; strong facilitation of stakeholder discussions
• Generative AI and Agentic Systems: Understands the user-facing implications of AI features (non-determinism, latency, context limits, hallucination risk) and bakes constraints into requirements and acceptance criteria
• Partners with the Agent / AI squad to define evaluation-ready requirements (golden scenarios, quality thresholds, HITL needs) and ensures regression gates exist for changes
• Uses AI tooling to accelerate PRDs, OKRs, prioritisation drafts, and stakeholder communications; validates accuracy and removes speculation before sharing
• Safeguards AI features meet safety and data-handling requirements (PII handling, auditability, egress constraints) by coordinating early with Security and Governance
• Builds for users: deeply understands PE workflows and optimises for real analyst outcomes, not internal convenience
• Leads with clarity: reduces ambiguity for squads through crisp requirements, priorities, and success metrics
• Drives follow-through: measures results post-release and iterates based on evidence
• Uses AI tooling to move faster, but applies judgement and accountability for every decision and artifact shared
