Product Owner (m|f|d)

Your Role With Us

As a Product Owner, you take on a central role between the business department, stakeholders, and the development team. You quickly familiarize yourself with complex business processes, structure functional requirements, and ensure that viable, user-oriented, and economically sensible software solutions are created from them.
In doing so, you keep user and business benefits, technical dependencies, and project goals in mind, set clear priorities, and create a common understanding between business and development.
