Duration: 6 months – extensions likely
We are seeking a high-calibre, self-sufficient Lead Product Owner to drive the delivery of a major Marketplace platform launch. This is not just a "squad-level" PO role; you will be the glue between three distinct engineering squads, managing complex dependencies across commercial teams and external platforms.
You will own the day-to-day delivery for the marketplace app, ensuring seamless customer journeys across international banners.
Requirements
* Prior experience in a marketplace environment, ideally mobile app.
* Ability to manage multiple squads as a hands-on Product Owner. You must be comfortable diving into the detail while maintaining a bird's-eye view.
* Strong understanding of Microservices, ATG, and front-end app/web delivery.
* Exceptional stakeholder management skills, capable of aligning commercial teams with technical engineering squads.
* A "day-to-day owner" mentality - someone who can navigate ambiguity and take initiative without supervision.
Key Responsibilities
* Provide strategic direction and requirements for 12 engineers across three squads (Data, Front-end/Design, and Microservices).
* Work closely with the Design team to sign off on front-end customer journeys and write comprehensive requirements for apps and web.
* Navigate a complex ecosystem, coordinating with the "Basket," "Checkout," and "PDP" teams to ensure marketplace features integrate perfectly with core commerce functions.
* Manage the relationship with 3rd party external platforms, ensuring vendor data is correctly pushed and coordinated across internal data teams.
* Function as the primary point of contact for the "Marketplace" domain delivery.
