Product Owner (12 month FTC)

This role is part of our Global Studios team. We create emotive yet conversion‑focused ideas, products and campaigns at scale and speed. Our specialty is hyper‑personalised, digital communications that change perceptions, shape new behaviours, and shift market share for our clients.

We’ve recently launched a GenStudio MVP as an operating system for Global Studios—bringing more consistent ways of working, powered by automation and AI.
