Tech PO - Contract - Inside IR35

London, England, United Kingdom

Here at Mindera, we are building a world-class team and would love for you to join us. As a Senior Technical Product Owner (Tech PO) with a strong technical background, you will use your experience with Agile methodologies and your deep understanding of the SDLC to lead an ambitious, fast-paced team building the necessary AI tools to drive the company's business growth.

We are looking for a Tech PO who deeply understands how this modern AI technology works under the hood. Working closely with both development and business stakeholders, you will act as a crucial bridge between our engineers and the business domain. You will manage complex cross-stream dependencies, guarantee constant progress and alignment throughout the product lifecycle, and seamlessly translate requirements between technical and non-technical stakeholders.

This role requires 2 days a week onsite in central London.

Responsibilities

• Mentor the team as an Agile advocate and continuous improvement processes to help them navigate fast-changing priorities.
• Own and supervise the product backlog, story writing, project roadmap and dependencies across multiple active engineering streams with frequently changing scopes.
• Ensure all stakeholders are up to date on the team's progress and deliverables status by maintaining an open and honest communication.
• Provide clear reports with different specifications for different audiences.
• Leverage your prior technical/coding experience to triage development and QA tickets based on business and customer priorities.
• Oversee the technical integration points between different AI initiatives and coordinate effectively with external domain teams.
• Translate the product features into well-defined product requirements including features, epics, user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Work with development teams, software architects and business stakeholders to collaborate, set and communicate release schedules, dates and scope.
• Ensuring your team’s delivery against the agreed plan.
• Influencing the product vision definition and breaking it into smaller and incremental deliverables.

Requirements

• 8+ years of enterprise experience supporting Agile development teams.
• Proven track record of management skills in areas such as conflict resolution, multi-reporting, roadmap planning and backlog management.
• A software engineering background with the ability to comfortably speak in technical jargon and confidently navigate discussions around modern AI architectures, LLMs, API integrations, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
• You thrive in a dynamic environment where workstream milestones are short and priority scopes can change.
• Proven ability to analyse product use cases and requirements from all points of the SDLC, including the architecture, development, testing, and deployment phases (Note: you will not be required to provide architectural or coding solutions, but you must be comfortable participating in discussions about these topics and influencing and providing input from a business and client requirements standpoint).
• Proven ability to communicate effectively, translating complex technical concepts for non-technical people, and business value for technical teams.
• Proven experience leading engineering teams.
• Experience with international projects and remote teams across multiple locations.
• Experience managing complex technical and delivery dependencies between multiple internal engineering streams and external company teams.
