Product Owner

About You

Are you highly motivated and have experience working within an Agile development team?

Are you a strong communicator who thrives on shaping goals, setting the direction with customers and stakeholders?

Does stepping into our customers’ shoes to understand their pains and opportunities they present comes as a second nature to you?

Do you have experience analysing business processes to enable the design and build of software solutions?

If so, you could be just what we are looking for…

The Role

Your success as a Product Owner is born from understanding the vision of our product from the point of view of the customer, company strategic direction and key stakeholders. You are the conduit between our customers, our business, and our development team.

We are committed to using Agile Development Methods (including Scrum and Lean) in order to deliver value rapidly and continuously.

You will join our Product and UX team and will be responsible for one of our development teams. You will work closely with other Product Owners to help transform the experience of our members who are engaging with us online. Our new member product is being built on the public cloud, employing user centric design and using cutting-edge technologies to create a market leading experience that will transform how people can access their pensions.

About Us

Heywood combines a passion for software with Agile methodologies to create modern software and data solutions and services for businesses, pension providers and third parties that help transform how their members and customers manage their lifelong financial journeys.

Working for an expanding established market leader, you will have a real voice to influence our evolution. Continued learning and progression is ingrained in our daily life, encouraged through a variety of forums from e-learning subscriptions and a monthly down-tools day (“Hive Day”) and communities of practice for learning and experimentation. Our open culture encourages wide participation and innovation.

We also reward our hard work through regular socials, organised by our people. Socials events include fiercely competitive bake-offs, Pride month office parties, sporting events, games nights and much more!

We are committed to a hybrid working model, combining remote and office-based working.
