Nuffield Health is the charity that’s building a healthier nation, one day at a time. From award-winning hospitals and leisure facilities to flagship community programmes – we’ll do whatever it takes to look after the UK’s wellbeing. It starts with passion and commitment to quality. It starts with you.

As a Product Owner, you’ll bring demonstrable knowledge, skills and experience in the field of product ownership, well-developed stakeholder management skills and first-class communication. You will be commercially savvy with the ability to plan, design and build a product roadmap that delivers significant ROI and have a good understanding of developing trends in healthcare related digital experience.

This exciting new role will contribute to our purpose to build a healthier nation through ownership of Nuffield Health’s products. You will create a product vision, product roadmap, size benefits and prioritise initiatives.

As our Product Owner, you will:

  • Product Vision & Backlog Ownership
    Own and communicate a clear product vision that connects day-to-day delivery to organisational strategy and measurable beneficiary outcomes. Collaborate with the squad to build and maintain a prioritised backlog of well-defined user stories, each with explicit acceptance criteria and documented value - both for the end user and for Nuffield Health.

  • Lead regular backlog refinement sessions, ensuring at least three sprints of "ready for delivery" work is maintained at the head of the backlog at all times.

  • Prioritise backlog items based on user need, strategic alignment, and delivery effort, revisiting priorities as context changes.

  • Articulate the "why" behind each backlog item to the squad - linking it to specific business objectives, pathway outcomes, or user problems being solved.

  • Create the conditions for the team to self-generate value-adding stories, providing coaching and clear guardrails rather than top-down direction.

  • Act as the primary decision-maker on scope, sequencing, and trade-offs within the squad, escalating only where cross-team or strategic dependencies require it.

  • Maintain current knowledge of the product landscape - including comparable tools, emerging capabilities, and relevant NHS or health sector developments - and use this to inform prioritisation and product direction.

  • Track and communicate the realised value of delivered work, closing the loop between what was built and what benefit was achieved.

  • Products Primary PO will be looking after are Physio, Health Assessments and Charity Initiatives of Nuffield
