About The Role
SpeakUp is looking for a Technical Product Owner to join our product team and help shape the future of our whistleblowing and case management platform. In this role, you’ll translate product direction into well-defined, buildable features that deliver real value to our customers worldwide.
You’ll work closely with a Product Manager who owns the overall product vision and roadmap, while you take ownership of feature-level discovery, definition, and technical clarity. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys diving deep into how systems work, exploring technical trade-offs, and collaborating closely with engineers to design robust, scalable solutions.
If you thrive in an agile, fast-paced environment and want to make a meaningful impact on a product that helps create a safer and more ethical world, we’d love to hear from you.
Key responsibilities
Own and manage the product backlog for your product area, prioritising work based on impact, risk, and learning.
Translate product direction and problem statements into clear, actionable, and technically sound user stories and feature definitions.
Lead discovery and definition for features within your scope, including:
-
User needs and success criteria
-
System behaviour, edge cases, and constraints
-
High-level technical approaches and dependencies
Collaborate closely with engineers to:
-
Explore solution options and trade-offs
-
Validate feasibility and complexity early
-
Refine features throughout development
Work on technically complex areas of the product, such as:
-
AI-assisted features
-
APIs and integrations
-
Authentication, permissions, and SSO
-
Workflows, automations, and configuration
-
Security, privacy, and compliance-related functionality
Act as the primary point of contact for how your part of the product works; not just what it does.
Present product ideas, designs, and demos to stakeholders across the business.
Coordinate internal release communication and contribute to clear, timely product releases.
What we are looking for
4+ years of experience in a product role (e.g. Product Owner, Product Manager, or Technical Product role).
Proven experience taking complex features from idea to production in an agile environment.
Strong ability to understand and reason about technical concepts without needing to code.
Experience working on products involving:
-
APIs or system integrations
-
Access control, permissions, or security concepts
-
Complex workflows or rules-based systems
Comfortable working in a scale-up environment, where processes evolve and ambiguity is part of the job.
Curious by nature, with a strong desire to understand how systems work end-to-end.
Clear communicator who can explain technical concepts simply and challenge assumptions when needed.
A genuine interest in empowering individuals to speak up and drive positive change.
