Product Owner

We are looking for a Product Owner to join Solera’s CAP HPI product organisation, helping deliver high-quality, customer-focused software and data products across the vehicle lifecycle. You will own and prioritise the backlog for one or more CAP HPI product areas, working closely with UK and global stakeholders to turn customer and business outcomes into clear, deliverable epics and user stories. What you’ll do (key responsibilities) Develop deep understanding of your assigned CAP HPI products, users, personas, journeys, and commercial goals. Own and continuously refine the product backlog; write clear epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria. Partner with Product Management and stakeholders to shape roadmap outcomes and prioritise work to maximise customer value and business impact. Run effective backlog refinement and support agile ceremonies (planning, stand-ups, review, retro), ensuring the team is clear on scope and intent. Collaborate daily with Engineering, QA, UX, Analytics, and Support to deliver valuable increments and reduce delivery risk. Manage dependencies across teams and systems, identifying integration points and addressing blockers early. Support release planning and go-to-market readiness (release notes, user documentation, enablement for Sales/Support as needed). Use data (usage analytics, customer feedback, incident trends) to validate outcomes and drive continuous improvement. Promote strong product practices: definition of ready/done, quality thresholds, and pragmatic ways to pay down technical debt. Key relationships Product Manager / Product Director (CAP HPI): roadmap alignment, value cases, prioritisation. Engineering & QA: delivery, quality, technical trade-offs, incident learning. UX / Research (where applicable): discovery, usability, customer journeys. Commercial stakeholders (Sales, Account Management, Marketing): customer needs, market feedback, enablement. Customer Support / Operations: service health, defect trends, customer pain points. Data/Platform teams and other Solera product groups: integrations, shared services, standards. What you’ll bring (required) 3+ years’ experience as a Product Owner (or equivalent product delivery role) in an agile software environment, ideally with B2B products. Strong ability to translate customer/stakeholder needs into well-structured epics, user stories, and acceptance criteria. Experience prioritising work using value, risk, and effort trade-offs; comfortable making decisions with imperfect information. Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to align diverse stakeholders and explain “why” as well as “what”. Working knowledge of Scrum/Kanban and agile delivery practices (refinement, planning, demo/review, retrospectives). Comfort collaborating with technical teams and discussing APIs, integrations, data flows, and non-functional requirements (performance, resilience, security). Analytical mindset and familiarity with using metrics to inform product decisions (e.g., usage analytics, funnel/conversion, defect/incident trends). Desirable Experience with data products and/or the automotive domain (vehicle identification, valuations, provenance/history, risk signals). Experience working in a global or multi-country organisation with distributed teams and stakeholders. Understanding of service operations: incident management, availability monitoring, and approaches to managing technical debt. Familiarity with discovery techniques (hypotheses, experiments, user interviews) and outcome-based roadmapping. Relevant certifications (e.g., PSPO, SAFe POPM) are a plus but not required. Working model This role is based in Leeds, UK, and is typically hybrid, combining time in the office with remote working (subject to team and business needs).
