Role profile
A strong, proactive Product Owner who can bridge Yorkshire Water business stakeholders and the technical squad. They need enough technical understanding to challenge and shape requirements, but the differentiator is their ability to engage the business, prioritise around value and confidently operate with senior stakeholders.
Product ownership
Demonstrable experience operating as a genuine Product Owner within a multidisciplinary technology/data squad.
Requirements discovery
Proactively engages users and stakeholders to uncover, challenge and translate business needs into clear requirements, rather than waiting for requirements to be handed over.

Roadmap ownership
Experience developing and maintaining a roadmap of capabilities across multiple releases/iterations, balancing immediate requirements with longer-term evolution.
Value-led prioritisation
Strong understanding of value-driven prioritisation and able to help stakeholders make explicit trade-offs between competing requirements.
Senior stakeholder engagement
Comfortable presenting to, questioning and facilitating senior stakeholders who will ultimately consume the reporting and insight products.
Data/MI products

Communication
Clear, concise and credible communicator who can simplify technical subjects for non-technical audiences.
Autonomy
Able to take ownership, form a view and drive activity without requiring significant direction.
