Who are we looking for?

As Product Owner you are the single point of contact for the development team. You take responsibility in defining and discovering what needs to be done to improve your product. You take all the necessary steps to identify gaps and improvements in your product.

Once identified, you bring together the necessary expertise to further elaborate the nitty-gritty details: from a functional, technical, and UI/UX-design point of view. Furthermore: you document these details in any necessary format: Domain Model, User Story, Process Model, etc.

You get everything up to a point where the new feature or improvement is ready to be developed. You prioritize this scope with the development team, according to all other work that needs to be done.‍

What are you going to do?

We are looking for a Senior Product Owner that can fulfil the following tasks

Functional Analysis

• Elaborate and decide on the functional details of a necessary feature.
• (High level-) Design of user flows.

What do you master?

• You are a storyteller. You can communicate just as easily with developers as with customers or end users. You speak the tech lingo, but can just as easily switch to higher-level business lingo.
• You are not afraid to present/convince and defend your ideas to a number of stakeholders: CxO, Technical architects, Customers, 'Scary' Developers, …
• You are able to grasp and solve complex problems.
• You can develop a vision for a digital product and prioritize tasks according to this vision.
• You have a hands-on mentality and you can jump in wherever necessary.
