[Hiring] Senior Product Owner @JobLeads Careers

Role Description

This is a create-and-run role. As Senior Product Owner, you take end-to-end ownership of a strategically important, AI-driven product area:

• Defining what it becomes
• Shaping how it’s built
• Standing up the operation that keeps it trustworthy in production
• Building the team that can actually run it

You start lean. You will not inherit a dedicated department on day one. What you will inherit is:

• Leadership backing
• Access to a strong engineering organisation
• A mandate to define what the team around this product has to look like

What You’ll Be Doing:

Product

• Own the product end-to-end, from an existing prototype through launch and scale
• Define the product vision and translate it into a structured roadmap
• Create and manage a quality backlog: epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, and iterative releases
• Design the human-in-the-loop experience
• Own the legal, consent, and compliance framework
• Set and own the success metrics that matter
• Coordinate cross-team dependencies across the wider platform

Operations

• Treat this as a live operation that runs every day against third-party sites
• Stand up monitoring, alerting, and escalation
• Define the support process around it
• Set the operating cadence

Team

• Define the team this product actually needs
• Build the engineering team that takes the prototype to a reliable, user-facing product
• Staff it with us: start lean, then grow into that shape
• Grow with the product

Qualifications

• 5+ years of Product Ownership / Product Management, ideally in a data-driven, platform, or marketplace environment
• A proven track record of taking a product from early-stage capability to something users actually use
• Experience building or owning a quality and evaluation loop for an AI product
• Experience running a live operation
• Evidence you have shaped a team around a product
• Comfort with AI/LLM-driven products
• Strong analytical judgment
• The maturity to own ambiguous, high-stakes topics
• Clear, structured communication
• Comfort creating clarity where none exists
• Fluency in English

Requirements

• Experience shipping products with real compliance, consent, or data-protection complexity
• Experience across B2C and B2B, or marketplace products
• Strong UX instincts
• You have hired or grown at least one specialist role

Benefits

• True ownership of a strategically important product
• The rare combination of a greenfield-style build inside a stable, profitable company
• A seat that is product and operations
• A credible growth path from building the MVP to running the live product
• Direct collaboration in a strong product organisation
• Remote flexibility, a modern tech stack, the annual company summer getaway, and team meetups across the EU
