Product Owner

Salary: Salary + Insurances

The Opportunity:

This is a hands-on Product Owner role for someone who enjoys the full product lifecycle, from understanding user needs through to shaping delivery, managing trade-offs, and supporting releases.

You’ll be the person who brings clarity when priorities compete. One day you might be balancing sprint scope with the Tech Lead and Scrum Master; the next, you could be triaging BAU issues, gathering client feedback, or turning usage data into better product decisions.

It’s a role with genuine ownership. You’ll influence how the product evolves, help the team focus on the right work, and make sure stakeholders understand the “why” behind decisions.

Company Profile:

You’ll be joining a product-focused environment where delivery, client outcomes and user experience all matter. The team works closely across product, technology and stakeholders, with a strong focus on thoughtful prioritisation, clear communication and continuous improvement.
This role is based in Dunedin.

The Role:
  • Own product subject matter expertise across users, functionality and design intent
  • Capture user and client feedback through interviews, insights and data
  • Maintain and prioritise product, project, BAU and maintenance backlogs
  • Define requirements, specifications and user experience for proposed solutions
  • Work with the Tech Lead to shape ticket backlogs and risk considerations
  • Balance sprint priorities across project work, incidents and BAU needs
  • Support the Scrum Master to keep active sprints clear and moving
  • Decide release contents, write release notes and support issue triage
  • Communicate clearly with users, clients and internal stakeholders

Your Fit:
  • Experience as a Product Owner, Product Manager or Business Analyst
  • Must have experience working within the health industry
  • Confident working in agile delivery environments with sprints and backlogs
  • Able to prioritise well when urgency, value and risk all compete
  • Clear communicator who can translate complexity for different audiences

If this sounds like the kind of product ownership you enjoy, apply now.
