Product Owner (Hub360)

Alliance Automotive Group UK & Ireland are building Hub 360; a new single sign-on platform that will become the central hub for B2B customers and staff interaction across the group's digital assets. This role owns the product from creation through to adoption and ongoing evolution.

You will be responsible for co-ordinating Hub 360 from the ground up by defining the product vision, working with engineering to deliver the initial modules, and driving adoption across employees and B2B customers from all areas of our supply chain. Once established, you will lead the consolidation of several legacy assets into the Hub 360 ecosystem, ensuring continuity of established system benefits with a balance of modernisation objectives.

This is product ownership in the fullest sense: commercial accountability, product vision, roadmap prioritisation, and driving measurable business outcomes. You will work closely with engineering, commercial stakeholders, and end users to ensure Hub 360 delivers real value and becomes the core portal for all stakeholder groups across UK & Ireland.

Reporting to the B2B Digital Portfolio Manager, this is a high-impact role in a market-leading organisation with genuine scope to shape something from scratch. Due to our growth by acquisition, Hub 360 is part of a wider digital investment programme to harmonise our fragmented IT landscape and provide an improved customer and employee experience. This role is perfect for an IT or Digital professional that wants to be actively involved in a highly bespoke application with a variety of specialist modules and features.
