About job
The role
We're looking for a technically-fluent Product Owner to own the backlog for our Performance products - a portfolio at the heart of how ship operators optimise their fleets. You'll be the single point of accountability for what the team builds and in what order, translating business needs and roadmap direction into clear, high-value work.
This is a Product Owner role for someone who's genuinely comfortable in a technical space: reasoning about APIs, integrations and data contracts, and holding technical requirements with your development team - without being the one writing the code.

Own, prioritise and refine the product backlog so the team always works on the highest-value items
Define clear technical requirements and acceptance criteria for API, integration and platform work
Align with Product Managers at roadmap level and own backlog prioritisation for your products
Work as part of a cross-functional Scrum Team - leading the team's Scrum events and presenting outcomes to stakeholders at Sprint Review
Manage stakeholder relationships and keep the product vision aligned across the business
Identify and manage product risks, including technical debt and changing priorities
What we're looking for
3+ years as a Product Owner or Product Manager in an agile software environment
Strong technical fluency- able to hold technical requirements and reason about trade-offs with a development team
Experience owning or specifying API / integration products(e.g. REST APIs, data services)
Hands-on experience working directly with software development teams
Solid Agile / Scrum knowledge
A clear, confident communicator, comfortable with both internal teams and external stakeholders
Nice to have
Product Owner certification (CSPO / PSPO)
Understanding of API design principles, versioning and data contracts
Knowledge of the marine / maritime industry
What we offer
Competitive salary - add range if advertising one
The chance to shape products used across the global shipping industry, in a company that's growing fast and takes technology seriously
