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.
