About Cavu

For airports. For partners. For passengers. For people.

We are Cavu - a travel-tech and hospitality company built to make journeys smoother, more rewarding and more human.

From our platform that helps airports unlock more value across the passenger journey, to our airport lounges and hospitality experiences people love, everything we do is designed to make travel better - for passengers and the businesses that serve them.

That takes people with fresh ideas, different perspectives and the confidence to challenge what already exists. At Cavu, you'll have the space to think, the support to grow and the freedom to be yourself.

Whether you're working from one of our offices, at home, in our lounges or on the road, you'll be empowered to create, innovate and help shape better travel experiences.

Know the way. Together, we can reach new heights.

The role

We're looking for a Product Owner to join our Commerce Product team and help shape the continued evolution of Propel, our technology platform for airport products and services.

Initially, you'll lead an important programme bringing MAG's turn-up parking journeys into Propel. You'll work closely with colleagues across Cavu and MAG to create a modern, scalable experience that supports customers who pay for airport parking or pick-up and drop-off services on arrival.

You'll be part of a cross-functional squad, working alongside a Tech Lead and Delivery Lead, as well as engineers, quality assurance and UX specialists. You'll have the autonomy to shape your product area, supported by a wider Product and Technology community when you need it.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a high-profile product roadmap, balance customer and commercial priorities, and help build technology that can scale across airports and international B2B markets.

You Will:

Own and continually refine the product backlog, keeping it aligned with customer needs, commercial goals and relevant B2B market opportunities.

Shape and communicate a clear roadmap, using evidence to make thoughtful decisions when priorities compete.

Translate business and technical needs into clear epics, user stories and acceptance criteria.

Act as the point of accountability for product scope, sequencing and priorities.

Work closely with engineering, architecture, UX, delivery, commercial teams and external partners to turn complex requirements into valuable product outcomes.

Lead backlog refinement, sprint planning, reviews and retrospectives with your cross-functional squad.

What will make you successful in the role?

  • Experience as a Product Owner, Product Manager or in a comparable product role within an ecommerce environment.
  • Experience owning or influencing KPIs connected to customer and commercial outcomes.
  • A considered, data-led approach to prioritisation and product decision-making.
  • Experience working in a cross-functional Agile squad alongside engineering, delivery and commercial colleagues.
  • The ability to turn complex business and technical needs into clear, accessible requirements.
  • Confidence managing dependencies and competing priorities in a fast-moving environment.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, including experience presenting to senior leaders.
  • Experience collaborating closely with engineers, architects or other technical specialists.
  • Familiarity with GA4, SQL or comparable analytics tools, alongside experience partnering effectively with data analysts.
  • A collaborative and curious approach, with the confidence to work through ambiguity while keeping the team focused on value and quality.

Travel or airport-sector experience would be helpful, but it is not essential. Strong ecommerce product experience and the ability to transfer your knowledge into a new environment matter most.
