Job Description

Product Owner

Leeds £50k-£60k + Benefits Hybrid (1-2 days onsite)


Own the core product journey at a profitable, purpose-led scale-up reshaping how we reuse and resell.


We're working with a tech-enabled recommerce business that's growing fast and doing things differently - helping people unlock value from the things they no longer need. They're now hiring a Product Owner to take ownership of a product with real operational complexity: the full journey of a customer's box through the business.


This is a key role in a brand new product team, giving you the space, support, and budget to figure things out and build for scale.


What you'll be doing

  • Own and evolve the core product backlog - the end-to-end box journey from sign-up and sales through to fulfilment and operations.
  • Work closely with stakeholders to uncover pain points, find efficiency gaps, and translate these into impactful features or processes.
  • Partner with tech, ops, and commercial teams to build and prioritise initiatives based on real business value.
  • Champion agile delivery - running ceremonies, writing clear user stories, and helping the team move fast.
  • Prototype ideas, validate quickly, and iterate as you go - this is not a place for over-polishing.
  • Use data, customer feedback, and KPIs to guide your decision-making.


We're looking for someone who

  • Has hands-on experience managing a product backlog and collaborating with cross-functional teams.
  • Is comfortable figuring things out in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment - you don't wait to be told what to do.
  • Comes from a logistics, shipping, fulfilment, or e-commerce background, and understands the operational challenges behind physical product movement.
  • Is sharp with agile (JIRA, stand-ups, retros, MVPs).
  • Enjoys finding quick wins, building from scratch, and pushing for continuous improvement.


Why this role?

  • Be part of a brand new product team as the business reshapes and scales its operations.
  • Work on a product with real-world impact and complexity - not just screens and flows, but moving parts.
  • You'll be backed by a Head of Product with the budget and freedom to hire the right person.
  • Hybrid setup: 1-2 days a week in their Leeds HQ, the rest is flexible.
