Detailed Description From Employer:

Every day, more than 500,000 frontline workers use Totalmobile software to deliver vital services across health, housing, infrastructure and beyond. From nurses visiting patients in the community to engineers keeping cities running, our technology quietly removes complexity so they can focus on what matters. At the heart of that experience is Mobilise , our mobile product. It’s where plans meet reality, and where great product thinking makes a tangible difference in the hands of real users. As one of our Product Owners prepares to head off on maternity leave, we’re looking for someone to step into her shoes and carry that story forward. This is a 12-month fixed-term contract , with the opportunity to make an immediate impact on a product used at scale and, for the right person, the chance to open doors beyond the contract itself.

The role

As a Product Owner at Totalmobile, you are the voice of the customer inside the development team. You sit at the intersection of user needs, business goals and technical delivery, translating vision into clear, valuable and prioritised work. Working closely with Product Managers, fellow Product Owners and a dedicated development team, you’ll shape the backlog, define what “done” really means, and ensure the team is always focused on delivering the highest-value outcomes. You’ll collaborate deeply with users and stakeholders, turning insight into well-crafted user stories with clear acceptance criteria, and guiding work through sprint planning, delivery, review and improvement. This role is aligned primarily with our Mobilise mobile product , so experience with mobile applications and platform-style products will feel right at home here. While the contract is time-bound, the responsibility and influence are very real from day one.

What success looks like

You build trust quickly, with developers, Product Managers and stakeholders alike. The backlog is clear, prioritised and ready. The team understands not just what they’re building, but why. Dependencies are surfaced early, quality is never an afterthought, and demos tell a coherent story of progress and value. You’re comfortable making decisions, adapting to change, and continuously improving how things are done. Whether you come from a Product Owner or Business Analyst background, you bring structure, curiosity and confidence to complex problems.

The experience you bring

You have at least two years of experience working as a Product Owner, ideally on SaaS or platform-based products rather than one-off client builds. You’re analytically minded, detail-oriented and genuinely enjoy collaborating as part of an Agile team. Tools like Jira, Confluence or Aha! are already part of your everyday working life. Experience with mobile applications on iOS and Android is particularly valuable here, as is any background in scalable platforms , technical development or user-centred design. Agile or Scrum certification is welcome, but practical experience and credibility matter most.

Looking ahead

While this role is a fixed-term contract, Totalmobile continues to evolve its product organisation. For someone who makes an impact, there may be opportunities to grow into other product areas in the future as the business scales. At Totalmobile, we want all of our employees to feel valued, appreciated, and free to be who they are at work. We are committed to an inclusive workforce that fully represents many different cultures, backgrounds and viewpoints. We are dedicated to supporting inclusion and diversity at Totalmobile. We actively celebrate colleagues’ different abilities, sexual orientation, ethnicity, faith, and gender. Everyone is welcome and supported in their development at all stages in their journey with us.
