Job Title: Product Owner

About the Role

We're looking for a Product Owner to help shape and deliver digital products that make a real difference to customers' everyday lives.

Working within the utilities sector, you'll play a key role in improving how customers interact with essential services - from billing and account management to service requests and digital journeys. You'll take ownership of product delivery end-to-end, working with cross-functional teams to build reliable, user-focused solutions in a regulated environment.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys balancing customer needs, business goals, and operational realities - and wants to drive meaningful change in an industry that impacts millions.

What You'll Be Doing

• Owning the product vision and roadmap for key digital products
• Managing and prioritising the product backlog to deliver maximum value
• Working closely with engineering, design, operations, and stakeholders across the business
• Leading Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews)
• Translating complex business and regulatory requirements into clear, actionable user stories
• Driving improvements to customer journeys across digital platforms
• Using data and customer feedback to continuously optimise products
• Supporting product releases and ensuring smooth go-lives
• Identifying and managing risks, particularly in relation to service continuity and compliance

What We're Looking For

• Experience working as a Product Owner in a digital environment
• Strong understanding of Agile ways of working (Scrum, Kanban)
• Ability to manage stakeholders and communicate effectively across technical and non-technical teams
• A customer-first mindset with a passion for improving user experience
• Confidence working in complex or regulated environments (utilities, energy, water, or similar is a plus)
• Strong prioritisation and decision-making skills
• Comfortable using data to inform product decisions

Nice to Have

• Experience within the utilities or energy sector
• Knowledge of regulatory environments (e.g. Ofgem or similar bodies)
• Exposure to legacy system integration or large-scale transformation programmes
