About the Role

We're looking for a Product Owner to help shape and deliver digital products that make a real difference to customers' everyday lives.

Working within the utilities sector, you'll play a key role in improving how customers interact with essential services - from billing and account management to service requests and digital journeys. You'll take ownership of product delivery end-to-end, working with cross-functional teams to build reliable, user-focused solutions in a regulated environment.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys balancing customer needs, business goals, and operational realities - and wants to drive meaningful change in an industry that impacts millions.

What You'll Be Doing

Owning the product vision and roadmap for key digital products
Managing and prioritising the product backlog to deliver maximum value
Working closely with engineering, design, operations, and stakeholders across the business
Leading Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews)
Translating complex business and regulatory requirements into clear, actionable user stories
Driving improvements to customer journeys across digital platforms
Using data and customer feedback to continuously optimise products
Supporting product releases and ensuring smooth go-lives
Identifying and managing risks, particularly in relation to service continuity and compliance

What We're Looking For

Experience working as a Product Owner in a digital environment
Strong understanding of Agile ways of working (Scrum, Kanban)
Ability to manage stakeholders and communicate effectively across technical and non-technical teams
A customer-first mindset with a passion for improving user experience
Confidence working in complex or regulated environments (utilities, energy, water, or similar is a plus)
Strong prioritisation and decision-making skills
Comfortable using data to inform product decisions

Nice to Have

Experience within the utilities or energy sector
Knowledge of regulatory environments (e.g. Ofgem or similar bodies)
Exposure to legacy system integration or large-scale transformation programmes
