YOUR CHALLENGE AT WIRE
As Product Owner, you will own the backlog and the day-to-day running of delivery for one of Wire’s product scopes, and act as its key communicator, in partnership with the Product Manager. You will work in close tandem with your Product Manager, who owns the scope’s vision, strategy and external representation, so that you can turn their direction into a well-ordered backlog and a smoothly run set of rituals.
- Own and prioritise the backlog, decide what enters each sprint, and define what “ready to build” and “done” mean for your scope.
- Write and maintain epics, user stories and acceptance criteria in Jira, and manage the link between the product roadmap and the delivery items that realise it.
- Lead the scope’s rituals: refinement, sprint planning, demos and retrospectives, keeping the team unblocked and delivery status visible.
- Protect the agreed sprint scope from unplanned change, and coordinate dependencies across scopes and disciplines.
- Decide, together with your Product Manager, whether to ship with a non-critical bug or fix it first, and require clear problem statements and priorities from them in return.
- Organise the logistics of cross-scope moments such as quarterly ideation, supporting your Product Manager in bringing strategy and vision to the room.
- Run delivery as a force multiplier: use AI tooling to automate the mechanical parts of the role (drafting and grooming backlog items, generating status and release notes, surfacing burndown and blocker signals,...) so your time goes to judgment, not busywork.
- Own the scope's agile and product culture: coach the team on ways of working, refinement quality and healthy rituals, and continuously improve how the team plans, estimates and ships rather than merely administering the process.
- Act as Scrum Master for the scope: facilitate refinement, sprint planning, demos and retrospectives, protect the team's focus and keep delivery legible drawing the team into problem-solving rather than presenting decisions to them.
