Senior Product Owner

We’re working on a major enterprise transformation programme and are looking for experienced Senior Product Owners to join on a contract basis.

This role sits at the intersection of strategy, delivery, and capability uplift, where you’ll play a key role in connecting enterprise priorities to meaningful customer and business outcomes.

What You’ll Do

• Define and own product/domain vision, outcomes, and success measures aligned to enterprise OKRs
• Translate strategy into clear, prioritised backlogs and outcome-driven roadmaps
• Break down initiatives into testable 90-day outcomes to enable faster value delivery
• Prioritise work based on value, cost of delay, risk, and strategic alignment
• Collaborate with stakeholders, customers, and delivery teams to shape direction and ensure alignment
• Track progress against outcomes and adapt based on insights and evidence
• Develop a strong understanding of technology platforms and system ecosystems
• Remove impediments and enable teams to deliver value sooner and safer
• Coach Product Owners and contribute to uplifting product capability across teams
• Champion modern product practices, including continuous planning and use of GenAI

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Senior Product Owner in large, complex environments (ideally regulated)
• Strong ability to connect strategy to execution and influence at an enterprise level
• Deep understanding of value-based prioritisation (cost of delay, trade-offs, optimisation)
• Excellent stakeholder leadership, able to align senior leaders and manage competing priorities
• Strong commercial acumen across desirability, feasibility, and viability
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and complexity
• Analytical thinker with strong decision-making capability
• Customer-focused with an enterprise mindset
• Experience coaching and uplifting Product Owners and teams

Why This Role?

• Be part of a high-impact, executive-sponsored transformation
• Opportunity to shape product practices at scale across the organisation
• Blend of hands-on delivery, strategy, and capability uplift

If you’re a Senior Product Owner who thrives in complex environments and enjoys influencing at scale, we’d love to hear from you.
