Title: Product Owner

This is our first ever Product Owner role! Alongside recent investment in Marketing, Data and SEO, this is a reflection of our focus on the user experience for two distinct audiences - multinational property buyers and international real estate agents, with a proposition that is built on trust.

Reporting to the Operations Director, you will help to ensure that our delivery team has a prioritised focus, with efficient delivery of features that create value.

This is a role that offers collaboration with all teams across the business, helping to inform our plans &priorities. Our innovative &inclusive culture gives you a very real opportunity to make a difference and play a key role in our growth story.

Read on for our story &what we’re hoping you can bring. If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you!

 

Kyero helps people from all over the world to find their sunshine. We make it easier for international property buyers to achieve their dreams.

Many of us have moved countries so we know the joy of finding the place you want to call home. We also know the highs and lows involved in making that happen. Our founders, Louise and Martin, started Kyero based on the lessons they learned when they bought land in their favourite part of Spain. They harnessed what they learnt to create a company dedicated to helping people move from dreaming about sunshine to living in it.

We are an international team of 30 fully remote people located across 7 countries, combining Marketing, Sales, Customer Services, Design, Development, Data, Finance &Admin. All of whom are truly passionate about the vision and purpose of the business.

The team brings exceptional knowledge of the market and a complete focus on the buyer. With a culture of trust and inclusion, we are firm believers in the power of data, the principles of test &learn &the importance of promises &proof points. 

Our response to the Covid crisis was to protect our team and control costs whilst rapidly evolving our proposition to test new commercial models, evolve the buyer experience and explore new ways of working. We begin 2021 with added strength. Within the last 12 months alone we have launched new branding, introduced a Freemium commercial model, established a marketing team &new partnerships for Data, SEO &CX, whilst firmly establishing ourselves within three new international markets.  

And we’re only just getting started… with a clear vision, strong leadership and expertise across the team, we’re more ambitious than ever and have the perfect recipe for continued growth!

 

We help people find their sunshine. For some, that’s a home in the sun. For others it’s a place where they feel at home, where they belong. For our team, it’s the chance to find sunshine in their work, their home and their life.

These are the values we live by:

 

You will have led product discovery phases, workshops and user testing to understand the real challenges and defining what needs to be solved and why before jumping into solutions. You believe in an evidence based approach – a product is designed based on knowledge and insight, not assumptions or opinions. You’ve created product roadmaps and release plans to give a clear vision for the future, whilst also fast-tracking the first tangible steps.

 

Agile delivery is second nature to you, you’ve written epics, users stories and acceptance criteria, managed a product backlog, prioritised the backlog to be sprint ready, and ensured the delivery team have the information they require to go above and beyond in delivery. You understand, at a high level, the technical requirements for digital service delivery &appreciate that APIs and backend systems need to be available for user stories to be ‘sprint ready’. 

 

You will be a passionate product owner and represent a viewpoint based on your experience, Kyero’s proposition, your knowledge of digital services and your collaboration with others.
