Technical Product Owner, Saas, Microsoft, Remote

Carrington Recruitment Solutions; London; Remote; GBP 60,000 - 100,000; Full time

Job description

Product Owner required to join a global Professional Services business based in Central London. However, this is practically a remote role, but when travel is required (to London, Europe and the States on occasions), you will be reimbursed for your travel and accommodation.

This role involves working on a suite of large digital products that are used globally by this particular company. It is heavily governed in a regulated environment, so we are ideally looking for someone who has owned products surrounded by governance.

Anyone from industry sectors like the Big 4, Insurance, Accountancy or Banking is ESSENTIAL for this role. We need this person to have hardened Business and Technical Stakeholder Management skills, who can manage stakeholders globally and sometimes attend face-to-face meetings in Europe and America. We also need someone who is tech-heavy in their experience and has managed significant platforms in the past from a Product perspective.

As this has global coverage, there may be some early/late calls. You must be prepared for this. There will be give and take with times, along with some flexibility if things are becoming quite taxing. However, we want someone dedicated and definitely not someone who wants a hardened 9am - 5pm kind of position!

Experience required:

1. At least 5 years' experience as a Product Owner in a complex, professional global environment.
2. Global experience is preferred with the appreciation that this is Global coverage, sometimes working outside of a standard 9am - 5pm structure.
3. Data driven and demonstrated experience using big data, analysis and research to produce product decisions.
4. Experience developing, analysing and designing digital products and software.
5. Strong stakeholder management skills at all levels with excellent communication skills both verbal and written.
6. Strong understanding of Agile/ITIL methodologies.
7. Proactive self-starter capable of managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
8. Demonstrate expertise in product lifecycle, UX/CX design, and analysis understanding.
9. Knowledge of Microsoft Operating Systems (e.g. Windows 7/8/10).
10. Knowledge of MS Office productivity, communication & collaboration technologies (e.g. MS Office/Skype etc.).
11. Effectively demonstrate teamwork skills, problem-solving skills, initiative and integrity.
12. Excellent English language proficiency and good interpersonal communication skills.
13. Tertiary qualifications in Information Technology or a related discipline (e.g. University degree), entry-level vendor-aligned certification (e.g. Scrum alliance/Scrum org.) required.

This is an excellent opportunity and salary is dependent upon experience. Apply now for more details.
