Role Purpose The Product Owner Construction SaaS is responsible for owning the day-to-day discovery, definition, prioritisation and delivery of high-value product outcomes for CDE and related SaaS product capabilities. CDE represents a significant income stream for the business, so the role must balance customer value, commercial impact, product quality and delivery pace. The role acts as the execution bridge between Product Management, customers, delivery teams, product marketing and commercial stakeholders, ensuring that the product backlog is clear, commercially aligned, technically feasible and grounded in real construction workflows. The role focuses on understanding real customer needs, translating them into prioritised product outcomes, and ensuring consistent, highquality delivery through remote, multidisciplinary teams. A core expectation of the role is to apply Jobs To Be Done (JTBD), structured client discovery, and strong information management principles within the context of complex construction and infrastructure delivery. A deep understanding of the industry will be needed. This is an experienced, hands-on Product Owner role for someone who can operate confidently under pressure, make clear prioritization decisions, engage directly with demanding clients, produce detailed feature requirement documentation, and help translate product strategy into shippable SaaS releases.
