Product Owner

We are looking for an experienced and enthusiastic HR technology leader to take on the Product Owner's role to shape and influence the product roadmap based on our product vision in close collaboration with the rest of the cross-functional team. In this role, you play a key part in delivering first-class customer experience to a large variety of users.

Tasks

Planning
You will shape and influence the product roadmap based on our product vision in close collaboration with the rest of the product team. You’ll be looking at what our growth opportunities are, prioritizing product requests and developing our HR tech platform.

Coordinating delivery
As Product Owner, you will be coordinating the design and delivery process. This includes making sure the new features will be finalized by the agreed deadlines, communicating timelines and updates with our customer base and technical teams, as well as managing expectations and finding suitable solutions when roadblocks occur.

Leadership
You will be there to enable the team to achieve results, by eliminating roadblocks and fostering a collaborative and open team culture. We’ll also look at you to lead conversational AI / conversational experience design meetings and processes. You will foster a culture of open communication and transparency, as well as knowledge sharing across the team either written or spoken.

Stakeholder Management
Listening, probing and interpreting the needs of various stakeholders is essential. Not only will you be communicating requirements with all stakeholders (Technology, Client Service, Sales and other Product leaders), but also provide the technical rationale and business value behind your recommendations.

• Experience in a Scrum setup.
• Next to that, it is important that you have a conversation with the developer at the same level.
• You should be able to understand what the developer explains to you about the feature and be able to provide suggestions on the approach.
• You should also be able to give an idea of the architecture.
• Be able to feel comfortable talking about technical aspects of the feature and understand the options given to you by the developer.
• You should have experience in researching new features autonomously and be profound at product discovery.
• You can collect and interpret data to understand customer behaviour and apply different methods that help you make sense of the behaviour observed.
• You can identify critical solution risks upfront and de-risk them through a toolkit of methods.

Benefits

• The opportunity for professional and personal growth within an innovative, high-performing and fast-moving company with flat hierarchies.
• Working alongside an experienced, successful and international team.
• Fresh fruits, drinks and company lunches (when you are at the office in Berlin).

Profile:

• The candidate must have some tech experience.
• Previous development experience is a plus but not essential.
