Description

A big hello from the team at Compuco

At Compuco we empower socially responsible organisations with the digital tools they need to build a better world.

We work with charities across their digital stack helping them to rebuild their processes using flexible open source tools. We help organisations reimagine the way they work so they can focus on impact.

We are looking for a talented and ambitious new Product Owner to join the Compucorp team.

You will report to the Head of Community and Digital Products and manage one of our product "suites", leading your own development squad.

You will work closely with our client project managers to run discovery sessions and ideate solutions to meet client needs before managing the full development lifecycle spanning specification, configuration and the management of development tasks.

It's a broad remit so expect each day to be a little bit different

Our client projects often (but not always) run in a waterfall process, whereas internally for the product development we adopt agile methodologies so an understanding of both processes would be desirable.

We're a very process-driven team who always seek to do things "the right way" to create robust products, and we're looking for people who can both contribute to ensuring those processes are followed but also help us to develop and refine new processes to ensure that we continue to deliver the highest quality product and service to our clients and to the sector as a whole.

In short, we're a team of self-confessed geeks who love tinkering and tweaking until something is just right, and we're looking for someone with the same "can do" attitude to join our growing team.

As a distributed company with an HQ in London and team members from all around the world, one of the things that makes working at Compuco special is the chance to meet, mix and learn from people from an amazing array of nationalities and cultures.

We're extremely proud of the way we work and the open culture we've developed.

Key responsibilities:

Assist and in due course manage client discovery workshops to understand client needs
Prepare specification documents for build and configuration
Converting specifications into highly organised development tickets
Managing/Prioritising the product team backlog for agile sprints and/or Kanban boards
Provide an active role in mitigating any issues that might impact successful team completion of release/sprint goals
Collaborate with a crossfunctional team including engineering, design, QA and PMs
Establish priorities, work independently, and proceed with objectives without supervision

What we value in this role:

You love the challenge of making complex things simple
You look to learn at every opportunity
You search for and propose improvements at all levels as part of your work
You can convey complex concepts clearly to other team members
You're someone who likes to implement processes and ensure they are followed
You seek to learn from others as well as share your knowledge and experience
You are detail oriented but can see the wood for the trees
Can do / make it happen attitude
And most of all you are a team player who likes to collaborate with your squad of engineers to create great solutions
You enjoy working in small, mediumsize teams

What we are looking for:

3+ years experience working with digital projects, specially Online Community Platforms and/or CRMs
Experience managing DevOps / Infrastructure teams is a plus
Drupal CMS experience is a plus
Experience with Selfservice portals and/or Websites is a nice to have
Previous experience working in a digital agency is a bonus
The ability to grasp concepts quickly
Someone who loves technical challenges

Location:
Hybrid Working (office based in Shoreditch, London) or Fully Remote

Type:
Permanent

Salary Range:
£30 - 36k
