It starts with you.
As our Digital Product Owner - Digital Fitness you will be accountable for turning the technical vision and programme OKRs into a clear technical roadmap, a prioritised backlog and well-defined integrations.

- Work effectively with strategic delivery partners and suppliers, setting clear expectations and ensuring that Nuffield Health receives measurable value from its investments.
- Own the data migration and cutover approach for member records, working with data, operations and compliance teams to protect data quality and avoid disruption to members and clubs.
- Set clear release-readiness criteria and quality thresholds, including test coverage, defect tolerance, rollback plans and monitoring, and make timely go or no-go recommendations.
- Facilitate sprint planning, refinement and reviews with internal and partner teams, keeping the focus on outcomes rather than output volume.
- Build trusted senior stakeholder relationships, explaining technical risks and options in plain language and challenging constructively where needed.
Experience and attributes:
- Significant experience as a Digital Product Owner, Digital Product Manager or equivalent on complex, high-volume customer-facing platforms.
- Good understanding of API-led integration, event-driven architecture, identity and customer data (including identity resolution and master data concepts) and cloud-based platforms.
- Experience with membership, subscription, booking or payments platforms. Experience in fitness, leisure or healthcare is a bonus.
- Experience of data migration or major platform replacement, including cutover planning and risk management.
- Demonstrable ability to balance revenue driving features with vulnerability management, maintenance and technical debt reduction.
- Familiarity with Agile methods (Scrum or Kanban) and with tools such as Jira and Confluence.
- Proven ability to manage suppliers and hold partners to account for quality and delivery.
- Excellent communicator who can engage and influence people at all levels, from engineers to senior leaders.
