Product Owner

About Us

We are a rapidly growing cyber security software company delivering innovative solutions to a growing customer base across multiple sectors. As we continue to scale, we are looking for an experienced Product Owner to help shape and drive the delivery of our product roadmap.

While experience within cyber security is beneficial, we are particularly interested in candidates who have worked within software houses, SaaS businesses, ecommerce platforms, or fast-paced technology environments where agile delivery and customer-focused product development are central to success.

This role would suit an experienced mid-level Product Owner looking to take ownership within a scaling business and work closely with senior stakeholders, engineering teams, and customers to deliver high-quality software products.

The Role

As Product Owner, you will be responsible for translating product strategy and business requirements into clear, prioritised deliverables for engineering teams. You will own backlog management, facilitate agile ceremonies, and ensure features are delivered in line with customer and commercial priorities.

You will play a key role in balancing stakeholder expectations, delivery timelines, technical considerations, and customer value within a collaborative agile environment using Kanban and sprint-based delivery practices.

• Engage with Support and Compliance teams to ensure customer feedback, defects, and operational issues are appropriately prioritised.
• Act as a key liaison between technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring transparency and alignment throughout the delivery lifecycle.
• Maintain clear Definitions of Ready and Definitions of Done for backlog items and feature delivery.
• Ensure acceptance criteria are measurable, testable, and aligned to customer and business expectations.
• Support the program management team with effective release governance, change management, and delivery reporting where required.
• Contribute to the ongoing improvement of product management and agile delivery standards across the business.
