Job Description
JOB TITLE: Transport Platform Product Owner
LOCATION: Stockport
HOURS: Full time
WORKING PATTERN: Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of your time, at one of our office sites mentioned above
About this opportunity
As one of the UK’s largest vehicle-funding companies (over 1.1m vehicles on the road are funded or leased by us), we’re using our size and influence to lead the charge to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport and are now responsible for funding 1 in 8 Electric Vehicles on UK roads.
Through our three specialist Brands – Lex Autolease, Tusker and Black Horse – we’ve created one of the industry’s broadest customer propositions, enabling us to massively increase the accessibility and affordability of greener vehicles.
However, providing access to funding is one thing; to truly drive the sustainability agenda and achieve net zero, we need to collaborate with industry, government and partners, whilst educating, empowering and engaging corporations (large and small) and their employees to accelerate the transition to Electric Vehicles.
We have a brilliant opportunity for someone to join the Transport Platform team as a Product Owner. This is an exciting time to join Transport as we progress on an inspiring journey with significant investment to transform the customer experience & digitise our offering.
The Product Owner is accountable in overseeing the release of incremental value for a dedicated product, with the primary aim of delivering value to customers and end users by ensuring the team focus on the right priorities, aligned to our Strategic Objectives and Key Results.
