Product Owner

Groenlo / Hybrid, Netherlands

Full-time

Salary indication: € 4.500 - € 6.500

What are you going to do?

As an experienced Product Owner of the globally used AEOS access control system, you will contribute to one of Nedap's most strategic solutions. Together with two R&D teams, you will work on the further development of our on-premises AEOS server and controller application: a mission-critical environment in which security, compliance and stability are key. You can respond to this Product Owner vacancy until Friday 27 February.

You actively gather insights from the market and within Nedap: from customers and partners to sales, support and operations. You translate these into clear product choices and priorities within the broader Security vision. As Product Owner, you determine what is needed and when. The team determines how. By providing clear context, you help the team take ownership and focus on solutions that support organisations worldwide in the secure and compliant management of physical access.

In addition to product ownership, you will fulfil a leadership role within the team. You will encourage collaboration and ownership and have an eye for the professional development of team members. You will combine product-related choices with attention to people and create an environment in which craftsmanship and growth are central.

During development, you will monitor consistency, progress and alignment with user needs. You bring clarity to the reasoning behind choices and are a visible ambassador for AEOS, connecting teams and stakeholders around the direction and future of the product.

Required skills

As Product Owner, you are responsible for the vision of the product, the customers, your team and quality. This means that you bear ownership and responsibility for this, but also communicate this to others. You are able to make clear choices amid the complexity of the large number of stakeholders and all their associated wishes. This also means that you can say “No” and justify your decision well. As a Team Lead, you can provide direction and allow space: you encourage ownership, responsibility and cooperation. In addition, you have the communication and social skills to get everyone on board, but also to challenge them. In doing so, you encourage a feedback culture and a safe environment in which discussions and opinions can be expressed.

You also recognise yourself in the following:

Product Owner experience: You have at least 5 years of experience as a Product Owner/Project Lead in a similar environment. Preferably, you have experience in multiple organisations as a Product Owner/Project Lead.
Team Lead experience: You have Team Lead experience in substantively managing and coaching professionals within a multidisciplinary team.
Technical affinity: You have an affinity for, knowledge of, or experience with technology/software development. You do not need to have been a developer yourself.
Language skills: You have a good command of the English language, and proficiency in Dutch is an advantage.
Nice to have: Knowledge of Jira and PSPO certificates are nice advantages.

Good to know: You are available for 32-38 hours per week. Hybrid (remote) working is common at Nedap, and you and your team can coordinate your working hours to achieve a good work/life balance. You will be present at our campus in Groenlo at least twice a week.
