As a Product owner, the key deliverables can be summarising in the following:

  • Increase the trading performance of the website and app, using competitor analysis, industry best practice, internal and external data and by identifying barriers to conversion
  • Work with the Web and App Product Manager, IT Delivery Team and your own team to manage the development backlog and CRO programme to continually improve and maximise web and app revenue
