About Thrive Partners

Thrive Partners is a leading online business coaching platform that empowers organisations to unlock their full potential through tailored coaching solutions. We specialise in providing personalised coaching and development programmes that foster positive cultural change, enhance leadership capabilities, and drive business performance.

Our platform supports a diverse global customer base ranging from SMEs to major enterprise organisations across multiple industries, delivering expert coaching at scale to users around the world.

About the role

We’re looking for a proactive and delivery-focused Product Owner to help drive product execution across our web-based coaching platform and emerging product lines. The platform supports capabilities such as coaching delivery, scheduling, engagement, communications, reporting, and programme management.

Working closely with the CTO, customer-facing and engineering teams across the UK and India, you’ll play a central role in turning ideas, customer needs, and business priorities into intuitive product experiences and actionable delivery plans. You’ll own backlog management, requirements and user story definition, feature validation, and delivery collaboration across a fast-moving product environment.

The role is key to building the next generation of Thrive’s cloud-hosted SaaS platform, supporting initiatives across group coaching, personalised engagement, ecosystem integration and AI-assisted coaching experiences.

This is an opportunity to join a small, entrepreneurial and AI-aware scale-up where you’ll have significant autonomy, direct access to leadership, and the ability to shape product delivery. It's a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys collaborative working, creating engaging user experiences and a focus on continuous improvement.

The role reports to the CTO and is a remote-first position with up to 2 days per month in London. You must be UK-based and able to travel to London for team days.

• Drive product and feature launches, coordinating with customer success and marketing teams to create communications and supporting content to ensure successful rollout and adoption of new capabilities.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to evaluate requirements, identify delivery risks and dependencies, interpret user feedback and operational issues, and make pragmatic decisions in a fast-moving product environment.

Application question(s):

• Are you comfortable working in a remote setting?
• Are you currently based in the UK and able to attend team days in London 1-2 times per month (often once a month)?
• Will you now or in the future require sponsorship for employment visa status?
• How recently have you personally worked directly with a software engineering team on detailed product delivery - including refining requirements, resolving implementation questions and validating delivered functionality?
• How many years of experience do you have working in a Product Owner, Business Analyst, or similar software delivery role?
• This is a hands-on Product Owner role within a scale-up environment. You’ll personally work through detailed requirements and user journeys, help shape UX and product behaviour, use product data and analytics to understand usage and inform decisions, maintain and refine the backlog, write stories and acceptance criteria, resolve questions with engineers during delivery, and support UAT and release. The role combines product thinking with detailed execution - it isn’t primarily a product-strategy, people-management or project-management role. Is this the type of role you’re looking for?
