Job Description:

We are seeking an innovative and forward-thinking Technical Product Manager to join our Data and Analytics Engineering team as the vital bridge between our business goals and technical execution for a dedicated product area. This is an incredibly exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of emerging technologies; you will play a key role in integrating AI capabilities into our systems, shaping the future of how we deliver cutting-edge property intelligence.

You are a collaborative, detail-oriented professional with a solid foundation in software development and a passion for agile methodologies. With several years of experience in a product-focused role, such as a Product Owner or Business Analyst, you will manage a product backlog, ensure your team has complete clarity to succeed, and serve as the voice of the customer to deliver high-quality, working software. You will thrive in an innovative, fast-paced environment where continuous improvement and technical integrity are paramount.

We value work-life balance and flexibility, and we are open to considering candidates who prefer to work a 4-day work week for this position. If you are a curious problem-solver looking to drive results and champion AI-driven solutions, we want to hear from you.

What You Will Be Doing:

Developing and maintaining a healthy, prioritised team backlog by breaking down features into clear, actionable user stories.
Actively participating in all Agile ceremonies, including daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives.
Providing the technical detail and acceptance criteria necessary for the data engineering team to estimate, sequence, and execute work effectively.
Working closely with Business Product Managers to ensure technical execution aligns with the overall product vision.
Serving as the primary point of contact for "accepting" completed stories and ensuring they meet the team's definition of done.
Assisting in the delivery of data pipelines and products by balancing technical debt with immediate client value.
Identifying opportunities to streamline workflows, improve team velocity, and resolve technical blockers in real-time.

Job Qualifications:

What You Will Bring:

Essential:

A solid foundation in data engineering concepts and a strong technical background.
An open mindset toward emerging technologies and an understanding of the AI Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
4-5 years of experience working within a data product or data engineering team, specifically in roles such as Product Owner, Business Analyst, or Technical Lead.
Proven experience working effectively with agile development teams and a strong understanding of agile ceremonies and methodologies.
Experience defining, documenting, and prioritising product features and technical user stories.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to translate business needs into clear technical terms for engineers and influence team-level decisions.
A proven ability to self-manage, drive results, and effectively manage time to meet sprint objectives.

Preferred:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related technical field.
Experience thriving in a paired-programming and test-driven development (TDD) environment.
A strong alignment with a "retrospective" mindset, continuously looking for ways to improve both products and processes.
