Junior Product Owner

What You'll Be Doing

• Product Definition & Backlog Ownership: Act as the voice of users, operators, and the business. Translate needs into epics, features, and user stories for small-to-medium changes, and maintain a prioritised backlog using data, value, and risk.
• Quality & Testing Coordination: Define and coordinate QC activities (functional, integration, regression, and UAT). Lead defect detection, triage, validation, and root cause investigations to ensure our tracking systems remain incredibly accurate and reliable.
• Cross-Functional Delivery: Work day-to-day with Engineering, QA, TechOps, and UX teams to align on scope. Participate fully in Agile ceremonies, monitor support channels, and coordinate third-line support within your scope.
• Deployment & Early-Life Support: Create and maintain documentation, runbooks, and training materials. Support pilots, staged roll-outs, and early-life support until tracking products are smoothly embedded in live, real-time match operations.
• Growth Toward Level 4: Build your capabilities across the full product lifecycle. With coaching from senior POs and Product Managers, you will begin shaping short-range roadmaps, defining OKRs, and handling increasing ambiguity.

What We're Looking For

• 1–3 years of experience in a product-related role (e.g., Associate Product Owner, Business Analyst, QA, Operator, or similar) working on technically complex products.
• Strong technical grounding with the ability to communicate effectively with engineers, QA, and operators across software-hardware integrated systems.
• Proven experience coordinating QC/regression testing and managing defect resolution.
• Data & Cloud Comfort: Experience working with cloud-based and data-oriented products, with the ability to interpret basic product analytics and operational telemetry.
• Excellent communication skills and a proactive mindset to plan your own work, handle ambiguity, and escalate risks appropriately.

Bonus Points For

• Experience supporting product launches and creating documentation or tutorial content.
• Exposure to stakeholder engagement, prioritisation frameworks, and roadmap contribution.
• Experience working with products that combine software, high-performance cameras, and hardware in high-pressure, live broadcast, or real-time sports environments.
