Help manage the transition from legacy conveyancing products to the Unity platform by supporting phased migration, customer readiness, internal enablement, and operational continuity.

Work closely with Product Management, Engineering, UX, QA, Support, Operations, Sales, Marketing, Finance, and regional subject-matter experts to deliver platform capabilities that are commercially viable, operationally supportable, and technically scalable. 

This role requires a Product Owner who can operate with urgency, structure, and sound judgment in a high-priority transformation environment. 

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise 

4+ years as a Product Owner / Business Analyst in software development context. 

Strong Agile delivery experience, including backlog ownership, refinement, sprint planning, estimation support, running standups, acceptance validation, and release readiness. 

Experience translating business and customer needs into prioritized, actionable work for engineering. 

Proven ability to write clear and high-quality user stories, acceptance criteria, use cases, functional specifications, process flows, business rules, and create simple wireframes. 

Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to investigate defects, reproduce issues, analyse data, identify root causes, and work with engineering toward resolution. 

Able to produce functional/system design specs (where necessary) and partner on user docs and release notes. 

Technical fluency with APIs, SSO, and basic SQL for validation. 

Ability to research competitors, analyze market trends, and incorporate insights into product decisions. 

Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to align competing priorities across Product, Engineering, UX, QA, Support, Operations, Sales, Marketing, Finance, and regional business teams.
