BAM UK&I are looking for a Product Owner - Time and attendance to join us on a permanent basis.

Making Possible

We are seeking an experienced Product Owner to shape and execute the product vision for our enterprise‑scale Time & Attendance Management (TAM) platforms. You will own the roadmap end‑to‑end, ensuring that the solution remains intuitive for employees, trusted by HR and Finance, and technically resilient for long‑term growth.

Key responsibilities

• Roadmap ownership: Define and communicate a clear short‑, mid‑ and long‑term product roadmap that aligns with overall people‑tech and finance‑tech strategies.
• Stakeholder partnership: Act as the primary liaison between HR, Payroll, Finance, and Technical Operations; gather requirements, translate them into user stories, agree acceptance criteria, and manage expectations.
• Platform health & continuous improvement: Champion usability, performance, and compliance; identify and remove pain‑points, especially where prior integration trade‑offs were made.
• Backlog management: Create, prioritise, and refine the product backlog; balance quick wins against strategic initiatives and technical‑debt reduction.
• Data‑driven decision‑making: Produce and maintain reporting, analytics and SLAs, extract insights, and adjust priorities to maximise user value and ROI.
• Release governance: Own sprint goals, contribute to release planning, and ensure each increment meets quality, security, and regulatory standards.
• Change adoption: Partner with Change & Comms teams to deliver training materials, release notes, and go‑live support.

• Solid grasp of enterprise integration patterns (e.g. REST/JSON, SFTP, event streams) and how to prioritise remediation of technical compromises.
