Vacancy
As a Product Owner at Orbisk, you are responsible for ensuring we continuously have the deepest understanding of our client needs when it comes to our product and service. You'll be responsible for translating these needs and wishes into tangible projects for our Tech teams, making them into a roadmap with new feature suggestions. Your key responsibility is sticking close the customer-facing teams and being exposed to customers yourself, to identify their needs and ensure that they're translated into actionable development plans.
As the Product Owner, you play a crucial role in deciding what the development team should build. Collaborating with Project Managers and team members, you will plan new developments and ensure they are completed on time and within budget. You will need to bridge the gap between technical and customer-facing teams. Therefore an understanding of complex technical issues is needed to translate them into language that the customer-facing teams can understand.
If you enjoy communicating thoroughly with all parties involved to generate a sublime customer experience, and find it challenging to clearly document and thoroughly communicate development needs to all involved parties, then this is a job for you.
Working week
On an enjoyable day, there are few meetings, allowing for plenty of time to focus on developing new plans.
On a less enjoyable day, many ad-hoc questions come your way and you spend a lot of time in meetings, which prevents you from getting to work tasks that were actually planned.
