**Are you passionate about driving Agile product development to success?**

We're seeking a dynamic and experienced Product Owner to join our team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our products. As the linchpin between business stakeholders, development teams, designers, and customers, you'll lead the charge in ensuring that our products not only meet but exceed user expectations. With your expertise, you'll foster a collaborative and efficient development environment, where innovation thrives and value delivery is paramount. If you're ready to make an impact and drive meaningful change, we want to hear from you.

**Product Owner**

As software continues to transform the way in which organisations across the UK manage risk, health and safety, we are growing our share of this fast-moving and ever-expanding market. For over 20 years, Shield Safety have been working with some of the largest and most respected businesses in the UK, making safety simpler and more effective for them.

As a Product Owner, your input will be critical to our successful Agile product development. Our flagship cloud-based software and companion app, RiskProof, is helping businesses revolutionise their safety processes. We want to accelerate the growth of RiskProof, making it the de facto solution for businesses who care about the safety of their customers and employees. With the support of our Head of Software Products and the wider team, your role will be to act as the bridge between business stakeholders, the development team, designers and customers, ensuring that the product delivers value and meets the needs of the users.

We are looking for a strong collaborator with proven experience in a Product Owner role within a web-based Agile environment. This is a full-time, home-based role with a flexible working pattern. Some time will be spent in Shield Safety’s Head Office in Manchester when required.
