Product Owner-Product Owner – Web Platform, Design Systems

Join Kindred Group as a Product Owner for the central web platform, driving product vision and backlog while ensuring scalability, performance, and design consistency across brands. As a Product Owner for the central web platform, you will own the product vision and backlog for a platform that powers digital experiences across all FDJ UNITED brands and web channels.

• •Own and evolve the product vision and backlog for the central web platform, with a clear focus on scalability, performance, and developer experience.
• •Deeply understand the platform architecture — including how components are built, versioned, consumed, and deprecated across brand and product teams.
• •Define clear acceptance criteria for platform capabilities, ensuring technical requirements are well understood and solutions are built to last.
• •Identify platform gaps and technical debt that impact brand teams' ability to build consistently and efficiently across web channels, and prioritise accordingly.
• •Work with engineering leads and architects to evaluate build-vs-buy decisions, third-party integrations, and architectural changes — providing product context to technical decisions.

• •Act as the product owner for the design system — owning its roadmap, component backlog, and adoption strategy across teams.
• •Understand the anatomy of a design system: design tokens, component APIs, theming layers, accessibility compliance, and the relationship between design tooling (e.g. Figma) and code implementation.
• •Partner with brand, design, and engineering teams to ensure the design system accurately reflects FDJ UNITED's brand guidelines and can flex to support multi-brand, web-channel requirements.
• •Champion design system adoption by making it the path of least resistance for product teams building on the web platform.

• •Translate complex technical and brand platform concepts into clear, business-friendly narratives for senior stakeholders — and equally, translate business needs into technically grounded requirements for engineering teams.
• •Engage closely with UX, brand, and product design teams to ensure platform capabilities enable — rather than constrain — great design outcomes across web channels.
• •Collaborate with domain architects and engineering leads to shape the long-term platform and design system roadmap.
• •Use data — platform usage metrics, component adoption rates, web performance analytics, and customer insights — to inform prioritisation and validate decisions.

• •Maintain a strong customer lens — understanding how platform and design system decisions ultimately affect the end user's experience across all brands and web channels.
• •Evaluate platform capabilities and constraints through the lens of brand integrity, accessibility, and cross-device web consistency.
• •Stay current with emerging web standards, browser capabilities, and design system trends — bringing relevant insights back to shape the platform's direction.
• •Ensure adherence to Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) obligations relevant to the platform, including accessibility standards and data handling requirements.
