Role Summary

The role of the Product Owner is to adopt business initiatives ensuring requirements are elicited, captured, and delivered within agreed frameworks and methodologies.

Data is at the heart of everything we do, and you’ll work with key stakeholders to create effective solutions that fit the user’s need whilst tailoring your message to different people using evidence to explain the justification of key decisions.

Wejo is the global leader in autonomous, electric, and connected vehicle data and our products and services are continually being reviewed and enhanced to ensure we meet our customers’ needs and aspirations.

As our portfolio of products and services grow, you’ll be deployed to ensure that relevant problem statements and success criteria are clearly articulated and progress to requirements gathering where you’ll be accountable for ensuring requirements are captured within epics and demonstratable user stories for our internal development teams.

In addition, we are continually monitoring our ways of working across different geographies and multifunctional departments resulting in the opportunity to capture as-is business processes, identifying bottlenecks, and streamlining handovers and functions across the business where possible.

This also often leads to business cases for software procurement which will streamline existing processes across our global business.

A prerequisite for everyone working in Wejo is a high level of personal resilience and the ability to manage changing priorities and complexity well.
