We recognise that to deliver the best products and features for our customers and consumers we need to work together effectively as a healthy, high performing team.

We work collaboratively across a mix of product and centralised teams, together working towards Rightmove's strategy.

The Product Owner role reports to the Head of Product and works closely with other Product Owners, Engineering, Design, Architecture and Operations.

  • Working with the Head of Product to help shape the strategic direction, vision and objectives for Rightmove Plus based on clear rational, analysis and insights
  • Maintain a backlog of improvements for your area, clearly describing how they support our overall business goals and work with the Head of Product to prioritise these alongside the wider priorities for the domain and product function
  • Manage the ownership and monitoring of the products and functionality owned by the team through use of the objectives and KPIs you will define
  • Create and validate business cases that underpin the product/initiative, with clear definition of opportunity, costs, and benefit
  • Proactively contribute to initiatives that aim to improve our customer or consumer experience, both identifying your own contribution and supporting others in theirs

  • Take an active role in the experience discovery of initiatives and products, working closely with Product Designers and Researchers to define the approach
  • Collaborate with user experience specialists and visual designers to rework existing experiences, as well as creating new ones
  • Spends time understanding what motivates our customers and ensuring they are up to date with industry insights
  • Generates unique ideas, resourceful in identifying opportunities, and encourages innovation within the team
  • Work with engineers and technical architects to understand technology limitations, recommendations and development options
  • Accountable for requirements definition and delivery of solutions across your product/initiatives

  • Thinks long term, and will drive the vision for the product their team is working on
  • Has found the agile philosophy to be second nature
