Product Owner

As Product Owner, you will own the backlog and the day-to-day running of delivery for one of Wire's product scopes, and act as its key communicator, in partnership with the Product Manager. You will work in close tandem with your Product Manager, who owns the scope's vision, strategy and external representation, so that you can turn their direction into a well-ordered backlog and a smoothly run set of rituals.

What you'll do

• Own and prioritise the backlog, decide what enters each sprint, and define what "ready to build" and "done" mean for your scope.
• Write and maintain epics, user stories and acceptance criteria in Jira, and manage the link between the product roadmap and the delivery items that realise it.
• Lead the scope's rituals: refinement, sprint planning, demos and retrospectives, keeping the team unblocked and delivery status visible.
• Protect the agreed sprint scope from unplanned change, and coordinate dependencies across scopes and disciplines.
• Decide, together with your Product Manager, whether to ship with a non-critical bug or fix it first, and require clear problem statements and priorities from them in return.
• Run delivery as a force multiplier: use AI tooling to automate the mechanical parts of the role so your time goes to judgment, not busywork.
• Own the scope's agile and product culture: coach the team on ways of working, refinement quality and healthy rituals.

What you'll need

• Solid experience owning a backlog and running Agile delivery rituals for a cross-functional team, as a Product Owner, Scrum Master or similar.
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail: you can turn ambiguous priorities into clear, well-written epics, user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Confidence facilitating refinement, sprint planning, demos and retrospectives, and keeping a team's delivery status visible and legible.
• Good judgement on trade-offs, able to decide with a Product Manager whether to ship with a known issue or fix it first.
• Hands-on fluency with Jira, including Jira Product Discovery, and comfort coordinating dependencies across teams and disciplines.
• Enough technical fluency to work closely with developers, tech leads, designers and QA.
• A coaching mindset: you strengthen a team's agile and product maturity and help it self-organise.
