ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking for an Assistant Product Owner who is passionate about delivering meaningful digital product change and maximising product value. In this role, you’ll take ownership of a product backlog, working closely with Product Managers, Senior Product Owners, delivery teams and business stakeholders to shape, prioritise and deliver work that meets clear business goals. You’ll break down high‑level requirements into epics, features and user stories, ensuring priorities are driven by value and that sprint goals and plans are clear and achievable.
You’ll play a hands-on role in delivering change from concept to launch. Acting as the voice of the customer, you’ll work with development and design teams to turn requirements into well-defined user stories with clear acceptance criteria. You’ll collaborate on UX/UI, contribute to prototypes and wireframes, support stakeholder sign‑off, and be on hand throughout delivery to clarify requirements, review demos, and accept completed work in line with agreed ways of working.
Beyond delivery, you’ll help embed change and support products through their lifecycle. This includes rolling out new processes, producing training materials and documentation, and enabling teams through knowledge transfer and training. You’ll work with customer-facing and operational teams to support queries, manage issues, and communicate planned changes or downtime. To succeed, you’ll be an organised, delivery‑focused communicator with a positive, flexible mindset - someone who can influence, adapt, and stay committed to delivering great outcomes for users and the business alike.
This is a 12-month fixed term contract. We operate a hybrid working policy that requires a minimum of 2 days per week in the Oxford office.
