About You

As a Product Owner at OneDayOnly, you will work directly with one of our development teams and collaborate closely with the Product Manager, UX, UI designers and Stakeholders to ensure clarity, prioritisation, and delivery of high-impact work.

This is a hands-on role where you will bridge business requirements with technical delivery, owning the team backlog and ensuring the team’s work is aligned to the broader roadmap. Our POs need to be strong in both facilitation and detail, ensuring the team is well-supported to deliver consistently.

Responsibilities

Backlog Ownership & Team Delivery

• Own, refine, and prioritise the team backlog, ensuring clarity of requirements and alignment with company objectives.
• Translate business needs into actionable user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Support sprint planning, backlog refinement, reviews, and retrospectives with the dev team.
• Ensure dependencies, blockers, and risks are visible and escalated appropriately.

Collaboration & Stakeholder Management

• Work closely with the Business and Product Manager to scope projects, understand priorities, and represent the team in cross-team initiatives.
• Act as the go-to liaison between business stakeholders, UX/UI design, and the dev team.
• Ensure developers are involved early enough in discovery and scoping to reduce rework.
• Drive clear documentation and ensure all project details are captured and accessible.

Delivery & Continuous Improvement

• Monitor team progress and support accountability for delivery commitments.
• Anticipate and resolve issues where possible, escalating when necessary.
• Collect feedback from users, business, and developers to continuously improve product quality and processes.
• Help establish structure around requirements gathering, checklists, and “stop points” for identifying risks early.

Product Vision Support

• Work with the Product Manager to align the team’s work with the longer-term product roadmap.
• Contribute insights into opportunities, pain points, and technical improvements.
• Ensure the team’s work ties into broader e-commerce goals and customer experience improvements.

Experience and Qualifications:

• Undergraduate degree (Honours preferred).
• Minimum 3–4 years in an agile Product Owner role (e-commerce experience advantageous).
• Strong experience with backlog management, requirement gathering, and cross functional communication.
• Proven ability to balance detail with delivery in fast-paced environments.
• Solid understanding of agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and product development lifecycle.
• Exceptional organisational skills; able to manage competing priorities and dependencies.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate between business and technical teams.
• Self-motivated, proactive, and comfortable operating without dedicated Scrum Master or analyst support.
• Problem-solving mindset with strong business acumen and ability to spot opportunities for improvement.
• Demonstrated ability to support successful delivery of large, multi-stakeholder projects.

Why Join Us

• Play a pivotal role in shaping South Africa’s leading daily deals e-commerce platform.
• Work closely with a Product Manager and cross-functional teams on impactful, customer-facing projects.
• Be part of a lean, fast-moving environment where your input directly improves delivery.
• Opportunity for career growth as our product organisation evolves (e.g., future specialisation into Senior PO, PM, or cross-functional leadership roles).
