About the Role
We are looking for a Product Owner to join our growing tech team, shaping the direction of the Simprints platform. You will work in an agile, collaborative team with a commitment to clean code and robust design, along with a strong culture of continuous learning and improvement. If building technology for global health sounds exciting, we want to meet you!
This is a remote job, we like collaboration and speak to each other several times a day - between 10am and 3pm UK time. To keep the collaborative team spirit we are looking for colleagues in GMT -2/+3 - or colleagues who are able to relocate. For the time being, we will only be considering applicants within these parameters.
Your impact
At Simprints, we want everyone to feel ownership of the tasks they are working on, starting from your first day. Within the first month, we’ll get you access to all of our systems, and you will be writing and accepting user stories for our products in no time. By your third month, you will be comfortable running the team processes, breaking down epics into user stories with the team, and will have a good understanding of how our products are used. In six months, you will lead with a high degree of autonomy in gathering requirements and solution design for our roadmap and projects.

- Proficiency with an issue tracking tool (e.g. JIRA, YouTrack)
- Ability to communicate effectively across many levels, building strong interpersonal relationships with engineers, designers, operational managers, and external stakeholders
- Open source experience highly advantageous
