Your responsibilities

In collaboration with various stakeholders, including the solution owner and product specialist, you translate strategy into a clear product vision and roadmap and monitor progress.

Your team

Nedap Now is the cloud application in which we process data from our sensors and then present it to end users (farmers). The aim is to improve life on the farm with these insights. An easy-to-use user interface is of great importance. Our customers experience our platform as user-friendly; that is exactly what we stand for.

In addition, all Product Owners and Product & Portfolio Managers are represented in the Product Leadership Team. The aim of this team is to coordinate priorities across multiple development teams. Roadmap themes are discussed here and you also contribute cross-team initiatives yourself.

You are also part of the broader Product Owner discipline within Nedap in Livestock. This means sparring with fellow POs, testing ideas and continuously working together to improve craftsmanship in the PO discipline. So you are never alone, even though you play a central role in the whole.
