Join to apply for the Product Owner – Charging at home role at Motability Operations Ltd
Motability Operations is seeking a strategic and delivery-focused Product Owner to lead the development of our Home Charging proposition. Sitting at the intersection of product strategy and agile execution, this role will help define and deliver a scalable, accessible and cost-effective home charging offer that supports all customers — regardless of housing type or parking situation.
This is a high-impact, high-visibility opportunity to shape how over 800,000 customers transition to electric vehicles. You’ll work in a cross-functional squad with marketing, design, tech and operations colleagues to turn strategic goals into live products and services — unlocking value for both customers and the business.
Key Responsibilities
* Co-develop the home charging strategy and delivery roadmap in collaboration with senior leaders
* Define near-term and long-term objectives that align with MO’s energy and customer transition goals
* Translate strategy into tangible features, tools and journeys for diverse customer groups (e.g. tenants, those without driveways, etc.)
* Own and manage the product backlog using appropriate prioritisation frameworks (e.g. MoSCoW, RICE, WSJF)
* Ensure backlog reflects strategic goals, customer needs, and technical feasibility
* Write user stories with clear, testable acceptance criteria, aligned to desired outcomes
* Balance tactical delivery (e.g. cable mat journeys, install funding tools) with strategic enablers (e.g. local authority integration, payment model pilots)
* Act as the voice of the customer in all squad activity; ensure accessibility and inclusion are embedded from day one
* Lead on customer research touchpoints with Innovation and Insights to validate direction
* Collaborate with stakeholders across procurement, legal, energy, policy and marketing to align plans and manage interdependencies
* Work closely with the squad Scrum Master and delivery team to set sprint goals, track progress and remove blockers
* Facilitate Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, reviews and retrospectives
* Be the escalation point for delivery decisions and ensure team efforts are aligned with quarterly outcomes
Measurement & Continuous Improvement
* Define and monitor key KPIs such as % of EV fleet with home charger access, install conversion rate, and customer satisfaction
* Use insights from customer feedback, operational data and service performance to inform ongoing iteration
* Advocate for continuous improvement and team learning within the squad and across the Electric product group
About You
You’re a strategic product thinker who can get into the detail. You thrive on solving real customer problems at scale, and you’re energised by complex systems, technical ambiguity and cross-functional collaboration.
* Proven experience in product ownership OR product management, ideally in mobility, energy, housing, or another regulated environment.
* Demonstrated ability to translate strategy into user-centred products/services — not just delivery, but shaping direction.
* Familiarity with Agile methodologies and backlog management (e.g. user stories, prioritisation frameworks).
* Evidence of customer-centred mindset, including accessibility and inclusion.
* Strong stakeholder management skills, with comfort engaging across technical, commercial, and operational groups.
* Experience in EV charging infrastructure OR housing/energy services or local government
* Understanding of inclusive design principles and assistive technology
* Familiarity with data tools (e.g. Snowflake) or customer engagement platforms (e.g. Salesforce)
