DESCRIPTION

We’re looking for a Software Product Owner to join Rowden’s Forward Deployed Team, supporting the delivery of mission-critical mobile applications for military users. You’ll work at the intersection of product, users and delivery – shaping Android-based apps that are operationally relevant, intuitive, and robust in demanding environments. You’ll need to be mission-driven, flexible, comfortable with ambiguity, and confident working closely with people to get things done.
You’ll be based in our Bristol HQ, with the flexibility to work from home. The role is fully dedicated to a high-priority customer project. You won’t be forward deployed full-time, but you’ll work closely with stakeholders and users, spending time on site weekly or fortnightly (site is approx. 90 minutes from Bristol). Some months may require more frequent visits.
