Product Owner / Junior Product Manager
Location: London
Employment: Full-time, permanent
Salary: £45,000–£50,000 + benefits
Reports to: Head of Operations and Business Excellence
We are Catalyx - Ideas, Built Right!
We help leading brands maximize their product & innovation potential, from initial insight discovery all the way through to successful in-market performance, with a specific focus on tangible products that consumers can handle, taste, or feel.
Our team collaborates with clients in over 50 countries, using our product, Catalyx Canvas, a transparent framework & interface that unites strategy, creativity, research, and validation. It clearly shows clients what information they have, what is missing, and provides the necessary tools to fill those gaps, leveraging AI-enabled creativity and consumer research discovery.
About the Role
We are looking for a Product Owner / Junior Product Manager to help develop and deliver our insight-driven product.
Our product is designed to support client insight and product development, helping our clients make more informed, data-driven decisions.
This is a hands-on role where you'll work closely with our Head of Operations & Business Excellence and cross-functional teams to turn business and client needs into practical product improvements. You'll have genuine ownership of the day-to-day product development process, while working with senior leadership on longer-term priorities and direction.
As a small, growing agency, you'll have the opportunity to make a visible impact. You'll be close to the decisions, work directly with senior stakeholders and see the results of your work quickly.
This role would suit someone with a few years of experience in product, product ownership, digital delivery or a related role who is ready to take on greater responsibility and develop their career in product management.
What You'll Do
Product & Prioritisation
- Work with the Operations Director to develop and maintain the product roadmap
- Gather and prioritise product and client requirements through stakeholder discussions, research, feedback and data
- Translate business and client needs into clear product requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria
- Manage and maintain the product backlog, ensuring priorities and requirements are clear to the wider team
- Make day-to-day prioritisation decisions within the agreed product strategy, escalating larger strategic or commercial decisions where appropriate
- Identify opportunities to improve the product based on client needs, user feedback and product performance
- Take ownership of comms to keep the leadership team informed

- Work with client-facing teams to understand client needs and translate feedback into actionable product improvements
- Help communicate product updates and changes to internal and client-facing teams
- Support client conversations where product knowledge or input is required
- Build strong working relationships across product, technical, client success teams
Product Performance & Improvement

What We're Looking For

- See the impact of your decisions quickly
- Work across product, technology, client and commercial activity
