Product Owner

About the role

We are looking for a Product Owner who will own the product backlog for assigned products and be the voice of the user and the business within their development teams. You will translate business strategy into a clear product roadmap, decide what gets built next and why, and measure the outcomes of what we ship — not just whether it was delivered.

Key responsibilities

• Own, prioritize, and continuously refine the product backlog, keeping it visible and understood by the team.
• Translate business strategy into a product roadmap and clearly communicate the "why" behind priorities.
• Write user stories with clear acceptance criteria; keep specifications lean and focused.
• Work daily with the development team: sprint planning, refinement, reviews, and quick decision‑making.
• Engage with end users and business stakeholders to surface needs, validate ideas, and align on strategic priorities.
• Validate technical feasibility with senior engineering staff before committing work to the backlog.
• Make value‑based trade‑off decisions to maximize delivered value.
• Measure outcomes after release (adoption, usage, business impact) and feed learnings back into the backlog.
• Use visual communication methods (sketches, flows, prototypes) rather than dense documentation.

Required profile

• Proven experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager in agile development teams, ideally within fintech or fast‑paced sectors.
• Demonstrated ability to prioritize using data‑driven frameworks (e.g., RICE, MoSCoW, cost of delay) and define/track product metrics and KPIs.
• Capacity to recognise interdependencies across features and translate them into concrete, achievable user stories.
• Working familiarity with user‑experience principles and technical architecture.
• Hands‑on experience with backlog management tools such as Jira and Confluence.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with a user‑focused perspective.
• Ability to move forward decisively despite incomplete data.
• Nice to have: experience with large‑scale software initiatives and financial products.

• Confluence
