Job Description

We're currently hiring a Technical Product Owner to join one of our partners.
The company’s core purpose is to create an exceptional customer experience, with a strong emphasis on delivering high-quality products and services. Its culture is defined by five Core Values: Ownership, Energy, Speed & Agility, Service, and Being Human. These values guide how employees interact with customers and each other, shaping the organisation’s overall way of working.
It’s a people-first culture where everyone’s contributions are valued and respected. The company looks for smart, forward-thinking individuals who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo and bring fresh perspectives. It combines a casual atmosphere with a fast-paced, agile environment.
The company is a fast-paced and dynamic environment where hard work and outstanding results are rewarded and celebrated. It values individuals who demonstrate an eagerness to learn and a strong drive for continuous improvement, encouraging team members to stretch themselves, acknowledge challenges, and learn from them. With a strong focus on growth, the company provides ample opportunities for career development and prioritises promoting from within. It believes that leaders should care deeply about the development of employees at all levels, emphasising emotional intelligence and accountability. Leaders collaborate closely to ensure the success of their teams, working together to achieve shared goals and create a challenging and rewarding workplace for everyone.
Who they are looking for: Our client is hiring a senior Technical Product Owner for AI products that extract, understand, and structure information from CVs, job postings, and skills data. This role sits at the centre of complex, high-scale AI product delivery. You will work closely with engineers and data scientists, contributing to how AI systems are built, evaluated, and improved.
 

Responsibilities:
  • Working across Product Management, Engineering, and Architecture to align on priorities and approach.
  • Leading backlog refinement and sprint planning across multiple complex initiatives, ensuring the team understands the value and impact of what they are building.
  • Collaborating with AI/ML engineers and data scientists to shape experiments, interpret results, and prioritise improvements.
  • Identifying and resolving cross-team delivery dependencies before they become blockers.
  • Resolving customer and internal product escalations, balancing urgency with roadmap commitments.

Requirements: 
  • You have 4+ years in product ownership and are known as the go-to expert on your product
  • You thrive in complex technical environments and are comfortable operating without a playbook
  • You keep the team connected to the problem they are solving by sharing feedback, usage patterns, and real-world outcomes
  • You are confident in making prioritization decisions under ambiguity and bring strong ownership and accountability
  • You have enough technical grounding to engage engineers as a peer: you understand how systems are built, spot constraints, and earn the team's trust
  • You have hands-on experience with AI/ML products and understand how models are trained, evaluated, and improved, not just what they produce
  • You are using AI effectively to accelerate your work, while taking full ownership of the quality of every output
  • You communicate in English at a professional level, both written and spoken.
Nice to Have: 
  • Familiarity with information retrieval systems (e.g. Elasticsearch / OpenSearch)
  • Familiarity with taxonomies, ontologies, or graph databases
  • Exposure to the staffing, recruiting, or HR tech industry
  • Experience with AI compliance considerations in product development
  • Prior experience with similar ATS/recruitment technology platforms
