Product Owner

We’ve partnered with The Independent Pharmacy, the UK’s #1 online pharmacy, to help them recruit a Product Owner, reporting to their Senior Product Owner as they continue to develop their product offering and mature their technology landscape! They’ve been operating over 10 years, and with their knowledge of the pharmaceutical sector, they’ve been on a mission to fight misinformation and illegitimate products being sold to unaware consumers. With their internal team of fully qualified clinicians, they’re able to provide trusted and effective advice and prescriptions for conditions not requiring a physical exam.

What you’ll be doing
You’ll play an integral part in the organisation’s delivery of an ambitious growth and consolidation strategy. As Product Owner, you’ll take responsibility for the core in-house order management system and APIs, helping to shape and refine the product’s development. You’ll work closely with a cross-functional team, including QA, marketing, and a technical development team, to ensure product goals are met efficiently and effectively.

Your day-to-day will involve a range of product management tasks, including spec writing, story definition, collaborating on QA strategies, delivery planning, and supporting the refinement of the product roadmap for multiple products. You’ll help drive the evolution of both existing features and new enhancements, while also ensuring the ongoing maintenance and support of current products.

You’ll report directly to the Senior Product Owner and work closely together to align on strategy and execution, giving you plenty of room to contribute and make an impact within a fast-growing company.

What experience you’ll need

• Previous experience in a product role as a Product Owner or Technical Product Owner, ideally working on back-end systems.
• A solid understanding of how IT systems and APIs interact.
• A logical thinker with a knack for process improvements and automation.
• Experience leading a product or development team in a Product Owner role.
• A self-starting mindset—you’ll have the opportunity to get stuck into a range of different projects from day one with minimal hand-holding.
• Previous experience in a startup or scale-up environment is highly desirable.

What you’ll get in return
A salary in the region of £45k – £50k is on offer, as well as a generous benefits package. This role is being offered as a hybrid and will have an expectation of 3 days a week in the office (free parking is available).
