We move the world’s workforce, building the technology that gets thousands of FIFO workers home safely, on time, every day. This role sits at the heart of that mission. The Principal Product Owner, Workforce Travel Solutions is a senior, hands-on delivery role with direct accountability for shaping and shipping the products that power workforce travel for customers in the mining, oil, and gas sectors. You will own the backlog, lead discovery, and drive execution for our One Touch initiative and a connected platform that automates the full travel chain from roster to return. This is not a strategy-only role. You will be in the detail: writing stories, running workshops with enterprise customers, making scope calls, and ensuring the squad ships outcomes that matter. You will also operate with more autonomy and customer exposure than a standard Product Owner, and you will play a meaningful role in shaping product direction alongside the Head of Product Development.

Lead discovery conversations, workshops, and problem-definition sessions and translating ambiguous or incomplete customer needs into clear problem statements and value hypotheses

Own and maintain a clear, prioritised product backlog for workforce travel initiatives, ensuring readiness to support predictable, high-quality delivery
Break down complex initiatives into well-defined, testable user stories with unambiguous acceptance criteria
Lead day-to-day delivery for assigned initiatives, making informed scope, sequencing, and trade-off decisions while protecting value and quality
Actively lead agile ceremonies: planning, refinement, reviews, and retrospectives
Identify and resolve delivery blockers

Define and track success measures for delivered initiatives
use data, customer feedback, and operational insights to validate outcomes and adjust course
Build trusted relationships with stakeholders across technology, operations, and commercial teams
communicating delivery progress, risks, and trade-offs proactively
Set a high standard for product ownership, story quality, and delivery discipline across the team
Mentor and support other Product Owners where appropriate
Contribute to continuous improvement of product ways of working, templates, and practices
Requirements:
Proven experience as a Product Owner or Principal Product Owner in agile, cross-functional delivery teams building complex B2B or operational products
Demonstrated ability to engage directly and confidently with enterprise customers and running workshops, leading discovery, and managing expectations in complex environments
Strong track record translating ambiguous, incomplete, or conflicting requirements into clear, executable user stories with well-defined acceptance criteria
Sound delivery judgement and able to make scope, sequencing, and trade-off decisions without requiring escalation for every call
Experience working alongside engineering and design teams in fast-moving delivery environments, balancing customer needs with technical and commercial constraints
Nice to have:
Experience in travel management, workforce logistics, or industries with complex scheduling and compliance requirements (mining, oil and gas, resources, aviation)

Familiarity with API-driven product development and integrations between workforce management and travel booking platforms
