Job Description
Product Owner required for a rapidly growing tech-for-good scale-up in Edinburgh.
The company:
The company are over 10 years old and have recently grown from 40 individuals to around 150, with more growth due to be added this year. They operate within the tech-for-good software space and are responsible for creating a very specific product used in the healthcare industry.
Recently, the product has taken off and there is a great amount of interest in the company, from both a client perspective and investment. The business is therefore adding two brand-new Product roles in order to cope with this growth.
The product function already has a VP of Product as well as Senior Product Managers (who you will report into). You and another Product individual will join this ever growing function as the work ramps up. In terms of flexibility, the company ask for someone to be in office as much as they like, as long as they can make the in-person meetings once every month.
The role:
Being one of multiple Product Owner’s, you will work across one large product (or platform) and will be responsible for platform features and developing functionality. You will really need to understand the requirements and will work with development teams and stakeholders in order to do so. Your largest internal stakeholders will be the development teams, although this can be varied.
Although this role is sitting within the healthcare space, it is not a requirement to have a healthcare PO background (although wouldn’t hurt). They are really looking simply for strong, Agile Product Owners who have come from a product/SaaS/platform background.
Key Skills and Responsibilities:
A few years working as a Product Owner in an Agile software environment
Ability to represent the customer within the development process
Any medical technology experience (added bonus)
SaaS/product background beneficial
Work closely with agile development teams to deliver great products and services for customers
Prioritise features and break them down into user stories
Maintain product feature backlog and development for the product
Write requirements – typically as user stories and epics
Provide knowledge and understanding of product and feature goals to technology teams while they develop and test to your designs
Create high-level documentation
Participate in daily scrum meetings, planning, reviews and retrospectives
Defining features and distilling them into requirements, such as epics and user stories, and defining acceptance criteria
This is an opportunity to join a growing, medical software business who are only just taking off. It is a very complicated and interesting area to develop your skills in, and you will learn a lot.
