As a Product Owner, you deliver products that belong to the technical foundations of company goals and to the customer value we wish to deliver through our product.  

Within the Product Development department, you take full responsibility for the development and lifecycle of products within your portfolio. For this, you actively involve customers, partners and colleagues to discover product opportunities and make these a reality for customers. You do this together with your Scrum team. 

Based on product visions, you also collaborate with other Scrum teams to identify opportunities that make these visions reality, to define success criteria, and to select the options that lead to maximizing customer value. You always weigh the value of these opportunities against business needs. 

In our headquarters in Delft, you will be part of the Product Management team, which consists of Product Managers and Product Owners. Within this team, you are expected to act as a mentor to colleagues with less experience in the Product Owner role, in particular in areas related to product discovery and business modelling. As such, previous experience in a Product Management role is preferred. 

As a Product Owner you collaborate intensively with your Scrum team, which consists of approximately 7 people from a variety of software development backgrounds. You are able to manage complex matters and business questions, as you have a key role in the process of transitioning from a legacy architecture to futureproof foundations. Together with your colleagues, you have a direct influence on how hundreds of thousands of people work with our product daily!
