Digital Product Owner

I am working with a SaaS client in Bristol who is looking for a Digital Product Owner to join the team. This is a broad role, and they will consider people from varied backgrounds, whether Scrum, Delivery, Project, Product, Business Analysis or even those that would like to move from a technically hands on position to a Product focused function. In all instances you will need to have strong client and stakeholder communication skills with experience working in an agency environment, or heavily with external clients. This role is in a SaaS consultancy, so you will work on lots of different projects, and should enjoy working in a busy environment, managing multiple priorities, and having a varied workload. There is opportunity to progress within, and a lot of staff have been promoted internally over the years. They are looking for longevity in role, so you should be someone that is interested in long term stability.
