techUK brings together people, businesses and government to provide a better future for society, the economy and the planet. Working with innovative companies of all shapes and sizes – from emerging start-ups to large household names – we work to unlock the exciting potential of digital technologies.
How we engage, communicate and collaborate with our stakeholders is fundamental to our mission, and we’re looking for a creative and dynamic Digital Product Owner who can take the web and CRM systems we use to do this to the next level.

The Role

This is a role with real responsibility and plenty of opportunity to develop: the successful candidate will be able to use their energy and experience to drive measurable business transformation. techUK aims to be data-driven and digitally-enabled, and the website and CRM that you will oversee sit at the heart of that mission.
To do this, you will need to be able to work with colleagues from across the organisation to identify user and business needs and translate these into an actionable roadmap. You will be able to prioritise competing demands on the digital team’s time and resources and work with our external partners to agree delivery schedules and ensure that they are met. You will oversee user testing and deployment of new features and fixes and will use your excellent communication skills to drive adoption amongst your colleagues.
The role will be based in our Central London office and you will work closely with our small and friendly team. techUK is open to agile working and there is scope for some of your work to be home-based if you wish – this can be discussed further at the offer stage.
If you’re excited by innovation and are ready to take the next step on your career, then techUK wants to hear from you!
