What will you do as a technical product owner?
Deliver products that form the technical foundation of the TOPdesk product! You’ll relate these products to the overall product and company goals and the customer value we want to deliver through our product. Based on product visions, you’ll work with Scrum teams to identify opportunities that make these visions a reality, define success criteria, and select the options that will lead to maximizing customer value. You’ll always balance the value of these opportunities against the business needs.
As a techinal product owner, you are comfortable with a healthy amount of ambiguity. When decisions need to be made, you’re able to gather data and insights and use them to make informed decisions that minimize risk and maximize customer value. You’ll frequently check in with other product owners and the product manager of your product cell to align priorities and ensure everyone is working towards the same goal.
In this role, product performance analysis and product observability are central to optimizing product success. You’ll use data to track user behaviour, identify feature gaps, and improve customer satisfaction. By continuously monitoring product performance, you’ll proactively drive improvements and ensure the product delivers maximum value in a competitive market.
