Product Owner

The opportunity

Enable is looking for an exceptional Product Owner to take end-to-end ownership of Ola, a new digital platform for the household employment market. 

Ola is approaching launch, but its proposition, commercial model and roadmap are still to be proven and shaped. This is an opportunity to take a product through launch, early adoption, product-market fit and commercial scale, rather than simply manage an established backlog. 

The role may suit someone from an innovative or venture-backed technology company who now wants fewer layers, greater autonomy and genuine accountability for an entire product. We are open to a permanent appointment or an experienced product leader joining on a fixed-term basis. 

About Ola

Ola is designed to make working relationships between households and domestic workers simpler and more professional. 

It will initially support self-employed nannies and the households engaging them, bringing together invoicing, payments, communications, schedules and records. Over time, it could serve a wider range of domestic workers, households and supporting organisations. 

Ola sits within Enable, a profitable UK business with more than 30 years’ experience in household employment, an established customer base and long-standing sector relationships. 

The role

You will own Ola’s product strategy, launch and ongoing development, with accountability for creating a product that customers adopt, value and pay for

The product must serve several audiences, including nannies, households, agencies, Enable’s internal teams and external technology and payment partners. Their needs will often overlap but sometimes compete, requiring clear judgement and disciplined prioritisation. 

You will work closely with Enable’s leadership, customers, internal experts and external development, design and marketing partners. 

Key responsibilities

• Refine and own Ola’s product vision, priority customers, value proposition and roadmap, building on the existing foundation of work 

• Lead launch readiness, onboarding, testing and early customer adoption

• Build a deep understanding of customer needs through research, feedback and product data

• Manage the product backlog and translate priorities into clear requirements for delivery partners

• Track acquisition, activation, engagement, retention, payments and revenue

• Test pricing, monetisation and commercial assumptions

• Make pragmatic trade-offs across customer value, cost, speed and technical complexity

• Establish the product processes, metrics and capabilities needed for future growth

What we are looking for

You will have substantial experience building and launching digital products, ideally within technology, fintech, marketplaces, SaaS or a venture-backed business. 

You are likely to bring:

• End-to-end product ownership experience

• Strong customer discovery, product analytics and commercial skills

• Experience working with engineers, designers and external delivery partners

• The ability to turn ambiguity into clear priorities and action

• Confidence challenging assumptions and making difficult decisions

• A highly autonomous, hands-on working style

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

Experience of payments, consumer platforms, workforce technology or regulated products would be useful but is not essential. 

Why join Enable?

This role combines startup-style ownership with the support of an established business; think skunkworks. You will have direct access to senior decision-makers, an existing customer base through which to test and distribute the product, and the ability to shape Ola’s proposition, commercial model, roadmap and future team. 

There’s also a positive impact to be had: the domestic employment industry is particularly susceptible to informal employment where worker hours, pay and working relationships are more open to exploitation. At scale, Ola will help empower workers to enjoy healthier conditions and relationships in their everyday working lives. 

Ola does not yet have a proven growth playbook. That is the opportunity for you!
