Role
Who you are
- Proven experience as a Senior Product Owner, Technical Lead, or similar role in a software development environment
- Strong understanding of software architecture, design patterns, and technical best practices
- Experience with agile methodologies such as Scrum or Kanban, with a focus on delivering high-quality software incrementally
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to effectively engage with technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Analytical mindset with the ability to solve complex problems and make data-driven decisions
- Familiarity with software development tools and technologies, including version control systems, continuous integration/delivery pipelines, and cloud platforms
- Knowledge of product management tools such as Jira, Confluence, or Azure DevOps

What the job involves
- The Product department at LineTen is tasked with identifying, understanding, contextualising, and prioritising user needs
- We seek to find unarticulated needs that can be transformative if addressed by way of our agile development process, where we iterate quickly based on real-world feedback, ensuring our products align closely with what our users truly want and need
- Our role extends to coordinating with various departments - primarily the development team, who bring our concepts to life, to the operations and commercial teams with whom we work to manage client expectations
- We believe we can only extract value up to the amount of value we provide to our clients - and the amount of value we provide to clients is the direct result of the degree to which our products meet their needs. The better we understand and meet our users' needs, the happier they are and the more value we can extract. To ensure we’re meeting our users’ needs, we operate a continuous cycle of feedback and improvement and our roadmap remains flexible to constantly evolve
- As a Senior Product Owner, you will be primarily focused on bridging the gap between business requirements and technical implementation, ensuring that the development team delivers solutions that meet both functional and technical needs
- Product Vision: Understand and communicate the technical aspects of the product vision, ensuring alignment with business goals and market needs
- Technical Roadmap: Work with stakeholders to define a technical roadmap that supports the product vision and enables the delivery of high-quality solutions
- Requirement Analysis: Collaborate with product managers and stakeholders to gather and analyse requirements, ensuring that technical constraints and dependencies are identified and addressed
- Feature Prioritisation: Prioritise features and user stories based on technical feasibility, business value, and customer impact
- Technical Specifications: Create detailed technical specifications and acceptance criteria for features, ensuring clarity and alignment with business objectives
- Architecture Planning: Define and evolve the product architecture, making informed decisions about the technology stack, infrastructure, and design patterns
- Agile Development: Facilitate agile ceremonies such as sprint planning, backlog grooming, and retrospectives, providing technical guidance to the development team
- Cross-functional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with developers, designers, and other stakeholders to ensure a shared understanding of requirements and technical solutions
- Quality Assurance: Work with QA engineers to define test strategies, validate technical implementations, and ensure the delivery of high-quality software
- Risk Management: Identify technical risks and dependencies early in the development process, proactively addressing issues to minimise impact on project timelines and deliverables
- Performance Optimization: Monitor and optimise the performance of the product, identifying opportunities for scalability, efficiency, and reliability improvements
- Continuous Improvement: Drive continuous improvement initiatives, including process enhancements, tooling updates, and knowledge-sharing activities
