We do this by creating award-winning software and working with our customers and employees to produce solutions that work.

We’re a passionate bunch who challenge the ordinary and bring a creative flair to everything we do. We’re loud, proud and believe in working collaboratively to develop our expertise.

Responsibilities

As the Product Owner for the Driver's Mobile App and related systems you’ll be part of our Product team and cover one of the 4 core B2B products for our taxi operators and their drivers.

Be a great communicator who can both change tone and tact depending on who you are speaking too, and build strong, effective relationships and influence senior stakeholders and teams
Enjoy collaborating with internal teams to drive quick delivery of new products and features to our customers
Relish autonomy. We’re currently a small team and being a self-starter who can wear multiple hats is crucial
Be a problem solver - solving problems with new technologies is key
Love analytics! We want to put data at the heart of our decision-making and make sure we are measuring success.
Think commercially, not just for Autocab, but for our B2B customers as well

You will report into to Product Leadership to support Autocab with our key business objectives to achieve the following:

Drive, with stakeholders, the B2B product roadmap for the Driver Companion (Android & iOS) and other supporting software

Speak to customers about their requirements for your product and keep them in the loop on timelines
Prioritise roadmaps based on value
Create product requirement documentation based on internal stakeholder input and customer requirements
Work closely with our Innovation & UX team to make sure our customer experience is world class
Work closely with development tech leads & teams to create well defined, estimated backlogs of work all recording in Jira
Define what success means for each feature/new product before it even goes to development and measure against this after release
Build great stakeholder relationships and work closely with them to promote your products both internally and externally, and to ensure a cohesive message
Spot opportunities for us to automated or streamlined products and processes
