Lead Product Owner (HealthTech domain)
About the Role
You'll be the dedicated people manager for all Product Owners—responsible for whether they grow, stay, and get better at their craft. You won't set product priorities or decide what any PO works on. You'll own the things that actually determine whether a PO function scales well:
- Career development
- Hiring
- Coaching
- Team health
- The community that makes the whole function stronger over time.
The role requires ability to travel across EU.
What You’ll Do
People Management
- Line management of all POs—1:1s, performance conversations, and compensation reviews done with both clarity and care;
- Career development for every PO—levelling, individual development plans, and an honest path forward (not just a template);
- Team health—engagement, conflict resolution, retention, and catching burnout before it becomes a problem;
- Hiring and onboarding end-to-end—from role definition through to final hire decision;
- Capacity allocation in partnership with product leadership—balancing where people are needed against where they need to grow.
The Craft
- A real PO community with rituals people actually value—peer learning, retrospectives that improve how the function works, not just how people feel about it;
- The career ladder and competency framework—define it, keep it alive, and use it consistently;
- Coaching on the skills that don’t appear in a backlog:
- Stakeholder management
- Influence without authority
- Executive presence
- Communication that lands.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You Bring
Must-Haves
- 5+ years managing product people directly—Product Owners, Product Managers, Business Analysts, or similar—with a track record of growing people into more senior roles;
- A background as a Product Owner or Product Manager yourself. You need to understand the craft to develop people in it;
- Comfort with hard performance conversations—empathy and clarity together, not one at the expense of the other;
- Experience in a matrix structure where you influence without controlling everything that affects your team;
- Strong written communication—frameworks, reviews, and internal docs that work without you in the room to explain them;
- Fluent English.

What Will Set You Apart
- You've built a career ladder or competency framework from scratch, not inherited one;
- You've worked alongside a strong product leader where accountability was clear—you drove people growth, they drove product direction—and that clarity made both of you more effective;
- Experience in B2B SaaS, enterprise software, or regulated industries;
- You've managed through scaling or restructuring and kept the people worth keeping.
What's In It For You
- Real ownership over how a product function develops—the career ladder, the hiring bar, the coaching practice. These exist in early form today; you'll shape what they grow into;
- Product Owners who are doing serious work across complex domains—finance, migration, AI, enterprise markets—and who will grow more with dedicated support than without it;
- Remote-first, async-friendly culture with flexible working hours;
- Collaborative, low-ego team that values clarity over politics;
- Stable, growing SaaS company with a long-term outlook and high standards.
