About the role
- Partner with Product Managers to develop and refine Product Requirements Documents - contributing the analytical depth and functional detail that bridges strategic intent with engineering-ready specification.
- Own the quality and completeness of requirements before they reach the team.
- Translate PRD requirements into well-structured user stories, acceptance criteria, and edge case documentation.
- Ensure that what engineering builds matches what the product team intended - with nothing lost in translation.
- Act as the Product Owner on assigned scrum teams — managing and prioritising the backlog, participating in sprint ceremonies, answering day-to-day clarifying questions from engineering, and making real-time scope decisions within the boundaries set by the PM.
- Work closely with engineers, QA, designers, and operations to ensure shared understanding of requirements.
- Identify gaps, surface ambiguities early, and resolve blockers that would otherwise slow delivery.
- Own the integrity of the what-to-how translation. Requirements that reach engineering should be clear, complete, and testable — not a starting point for further interpretation.
Requirements
- 3–5+ years in a Business Analyst or Product Owner role within an agile software development environment
- Proven experience bridging the BA-to-PO function - you've written the stories and run the ceremonies
- Strong requirements documentation skills - user stories, acceptance criteria, process flows, and edge case analysis
- Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, delivery-focused environment with competing priorities
- Analytical mindset -you ask the right questions before writing a single requirement
- Clear, precise communicator across technical and non-technical audiences
- Familiarity with B2B SaaS products; fintech or data-intensive platforms a plus
- Experience with agile tooling - Jira, Confluence, or equivalent
Benefits
- Flexible working arrangements - 3 days in office per week
