This is a high-ownership role combining:
- Product Management

The role sits close to the CTO Office and acts as the single point of accountability for product execution, timelines, quality, and stakeholder communication.
You will plan, drive, and run releases, own the product roadmap, coordinate cross-functional teams, and provide clear delivery reporting to leadership.
The ideal candidate will be hands-on, execution-focused, and comfortable working in an Agile/Scrum environment, with strong ownership of delivery, quality, timelines, and stakeholder communication.
Key Responsibilities:
End-to-End Product & Feature Ownership

- Own, prioritise, and continuously groom the product backlog (Jira)
- Lead sprint planning, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, and retrospectives

Roadmap & Prioritisation
- Own and maintain the product roadmap
- Drive prioritisation decisions based on business value, urgency, and feasibility
- Align roadmap delivery with company goals and leadership expectations
- Clearly communicate trade-offs and sequencing decisions
Stakeholder & CTO Office Support
- Act as a bridge between leadership, stakeholders, and delivery teams
- Provide clear delivery reporting: progress, risks, dependencies, and timelines
- Support the CTO Office with execution tracking and delivery visibility
- Drive continuous improvements in product, delivery, and release processes
- Ensure stakeholders have confidence in delivery plans and outcomes
Required Skills & Experience
- Senior experience as a Product Owner, Product Manager, or Delivery Manager

What This Role Is (and Is Not)
