Graduate / Junior Product Owner (Agile / SaaS)

Full Time 65000.00 - 80000.00

Job description

An interesting company is looking for a Product Owner / Software Business Analyst to work on requirements, writing user stories, working with a variety of customers projects utilising modern AI & leading edge dev practices :-)

An ambitious Christchurch-based startup is looking for a Product Owner / Business Analyst to join them at a genuinely early stage. This is a rare opportunity to be employee number three, working directly with the founders to shape a product from the ground up.

This is a hands-on, generalist role where you’ll own requirements, backlog, and quality, helping turn real business needs into a product customers love - sound like you?

What you’ll bring:
  • BSc, BEng, BA, BCom or similar degree
  • Students currently studying or have just finished a Masters or PhD course of high interest
  • 3 months - 1 year internship or commercial experience in a Product Owner, Business Analyst, QA, dev or similar role (depth matters more than years)
  • Comfortable writing clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and managing a product backlog
  • Enjoy working closely with founders in a fast-moving environment
  • Confident translating business needs into practical, buildable requirements
  • Happy rolling up your sleeves with manual testing and release validation
  • Strong communicator across both technical and non-technical conversations
  • Actively using AI tools (ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, etc.) to boost productivity
  • Familiarity with Agile tools such as Jira, Linear, or similar (or keen to learn)
  • Enjoy seeing new features & functionality come to life for customers
What you’ll get:
  • 6-month fixed-term contract to start
  • Clear path to a permanent role with equity (ESOP) for the right person
  • A true ground-floor startup role - not a corporate “innovation lab”
  • Direct daily access to the CEO and CTO
  • Genuine influence over product direction and how things are built
  • Christchurch-based role with hybrid / in-office flexibility
  • The chance to grow with a startup that already has real momentum across NZ & Australia
  • This is an office based role in Christchurch with flexibility
If you’re a Product Owner / Software Business Analyst who enjoys variety, ownership, and seeing features come to life - this is a standout opportunity to build something meaningful from the early days.
