Product Owner
Join Synectics as Product Owner: own the backlog, partner with engineering and turn ideas into scalable, real-world fraud-prevention solutions that matter.
At Synectics, we build technology that helps make a real difference.
Our platform is used by banks, insurers and financial institutions to prevent fraud, protect customers and respond quickly to emerging risks. We’ve been doing this for over 30 years, and as we grow, we’re continuing to evolve how we build products - becoming more customer-led and focused on delivering the right outcomes.
The role
We’re looking for a Product Owner to take ownership of a key area of our platform, working closely with Product Managers and Engineering to turn ideas into practical, scalable solutions that solve real problems.
This is a hands-on role where you’ll manage the backlog, support delivery and help shape how solutions work in practice.
What you’ll be doing:
Own the backlog and delivery – keep it clear, prioritised, and moving forward; break down work into deliverable increments and partner with Engineering to balance pace with long-term sustainability
Support solution design and discovery – refine ideas with Product Managers, validate solutions through workflows and customer feedback, and flag risks early
Think beyond individual features – consider how your work fits into the wider platform, focusing on scalability, reusability, and avoiding unnecessary complexity
Collaborate across teams – work closely with Product, Engineering and Delivery, sharing progress, raising risks and contributing to roadmap discussions
What success looks like in this role:
Software is delivered consistently and works well in practice
Backlogs are clear, structured and aligned to outcomes
Delivery feels predictable, not reactive
Solutions are built with the future in mind, not just the immediate need
You’re contributing to improving how we build as well as what we build
What we’re looking for:
Essentials
Experience as a Product Owner, Senior Business Analyst, or in a similar role
You’ve worked closely with Engineering teams on complex systems
You’re confident managing and prioritising a backlog
You’re comfortable having technical conversations and understanding trade-offs
Nice to have
Experience with platform or API-based products
Background in SaaS or financial services
Exposure to customer validation or discovery work
Why join us?
Work on products that have a genuine, real-world impact
Tackle complex problems that keep things interesting
Be part of a collaborative, product-led environment
Flexible, hybrid working
If you enjoy working in that space between Product and Engineering - where ideas become real, working solutions - and you like solving complex problems, we’d love to hear from you.
