Job Description
Product Owner
Sunderland (hybrid, 3 days onsite)
Up to £55,000 PA
We are currently recruiting for multiple Product Owner opportunities with a large, evolving organisation undergoing a significant transformation of its product function. These are newly created roles within a restructured product organisation, offering the chance to shape products from an early stage and make a real impact.
As a Product Owner, you will play a key role in translating business goals and product vision into clear, actionable requirements for delivery teams. You will take full ownership of the product backlog, ensuring it is prioritised effectively and aligned to business value.
This is a highly collaborative role, acting as the bridge between business stakeholders and technical delivery teams. You will work across multiple departments and with external suppliers, ensuring solutions are feasible, scalable and deliver real value.
Given the maturity of the product environment, this role requires someone who is proactive, comfortable with ambiguity and confident building structure and backlog from the ground up.
Key Responsibilities:
* Own and manage a prioritised product backlog aligned to business objectives
* Translate requirements into user stories and acceptance criteria
* Lead and support Agile ceremonies and day-to-day delivery activities
* Provide clarity and direction to delivery teams and suppliers
* Identify and resolve risks, issues and dependencies
* Act as the key interface between business and technical teams
* Engage with stakeholders across multiple departments and levels
* Facilitate workshops and gather requirements to inform prioritisation
* Work closely with end users, including site visits where required
* Ensure alignment across teams and manage cross-functional dependencies
* Monitor product performance and user adoption
* Use data and insights to inform decision-making and enhancements
* Drive continuous improvement through iterative delivery
Requirements:
* Proven experience as a Product Owner in an Agile environment
* Strong stakeholder management skills (key priority for this role)
* Experience owning and building product backlogs end-to-end
* Ability to balance business needs with technical delivery constraints
* A proactive, self-starting mindset with the ability to operate in a changing environment
* Comfortable working with third-party suppliers
* Domain experience is beneficial (particularly Operations), but not essential
* Industry background is flexible - transport experience is a bonus, not a requirement
Note: travel to other sites across the UK is required for this role.
