Product Owner

BIG is looking for a Product Owner to take the reins on a number of our internal systems and not just manage them, but truly own them. These are systems you'll get to know inside out, shape, and steer, with the freedom to bring your own ideas to the table and see them through.

You'll turn business needs into user stories, interactive prototypes and working solutions, keeping priorities clear and stakeholders informed along the way. We've moved past static mock-ups, so comfort using AI tools to bring concepts to life quickly is a big plus.

This role thrives on collaboration. You'll work closely with our QA and Product Analyst and Mobile & Web Developers, and report to our IT & Projects Manager. Bouncing ideas around and problem solving together.

It's well suited to someone already working as a Product Owner who's ready to take full ownership of a system end to end, and who genuinely enjoys being the driving force behind it.

This is a flexible, hybrid role. We're not fussed about set office days, we just want you in every now and then for training, collaboration and to help develop the wider team.
