Product Owner/Agile Delivery Consultant

Company Cultures and Job Summary:

• Our client is looking for a Product Owner with strong Agile delivery skills to own the product backlog, translate business needs into valuable outcomes, and ensure teams deliver high-quality solutions at pace. You’ll sit at the intersection of customers, stakeholders, and delivery teams, turning strategy into shipped value.
• This role blends product ownership with hands-on agile delivery, so you’ll be as comfortable defining a roadmap as you are facilitating sprint ceremonies.

Working Patterns: This is a hybrid role with 2-3 days per week on client sites.

• Own and manage the product backlog, ensuring it is prioritised, refined, and ready.
• Translate business goals and customer needs into clear user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Define and communicate product vision, goals, and success metrics.
• Balance stakeholder demands with technical feasibility and delivery capacity.
• Make fast, informed decisions to maximise value delivery.
• Work closely with engineers, designers, and QA to deliver increments of value each sprint.
• Lead or support Scrum ceremonies (planning, refinement, review, retrospectives).
• Remove delivery blockers and manage dependencies across teams.
• Promote agile best practices and continuous improvement.
• Ensure delivery aligns with agreed scope, quality, and timelines.
• Act as the primary point of contact between stakeholders and delivery teams.
• Gather, validate, and prioritise requirements from internal and external customers.
• Communicate progress, risks, and outcomes clearly and transparently.
• Use feedback and data to iterate and improve the product.

• Proven experience as a Product Owner, Agile Delivery Lead, or similar role.
• Strong understanding of Agile/Scrum/Kanban methodologies.
• Experience working with cross-functional delivery teams.
• Ability to write clear user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Confident stakeholder management and communication skills.
• Strong prioritisation and decision-making ability.

The client would also like to see some of the below, but this is not essential:

• Experience in [industry/domain – e.g. SaaS, fintech, healthcare].
• Familiarity with tools such as Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, or similar.
• Experience with roadmap planning and outcome-based delivery.
• Knowledge of Lean, OKRs, or product discovery techniques.
• Scrum Product Owner or Agile certification.

Our client is committed to providing a diverse and inclusive workplace and welcomes applications from all backgrounds.
