In this role you will be responsible for gathering requirements from multiple sources including clients, consulting, support and sales. You’ll translate these into clear, actionable user stories and maintain and prioritise the product backlog. You will work closely with development, UX and QA teams to plan sprints, carry out refinements, lead feature implementation, and validate delivered functionality. You’ll plan product releases, update documentation and user guides where needed, and ensure that the product roadmap is aligned with business priorities; you will regularly update stakeholders across the business about progress, releases and future plans.

Your ideal profile includes experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager in a software environment, ideally with exposure to contract management or equivalent domain. You should have strong ability to define clear requirements, balance priorities and trade-offs, and possess good technical understanding of cloud/web-based solutions. Solid experience with Agile frameworks (Scrum or Kanban), and comfort using tools like Jira, Azure DevOps or comparable platforms is essential. Experience or awareness of UX, QA or QA-automation is a plus. Strong stakeholder management, excellent communication skills in English (any other language skills are bonus), and familiarity with compliance, security or risk topics are advantageous.
You’ll be joining a company with a fast-growing product portfolio, offering a culture where innovation is encouraged, collaboration is routine, and impact is visible. The environment supports hybrid working from London, with flexible hours, opportunities for professional growth, and a team that values your input and ambition.
