Job description

Responsibilities

• As Product Owner, you are the operational backbone of our product team. We’re growing fast – and with growth comes complexity, open questions, and features being built faster than they can be tested.
• Your job is to bring exactly that under control: clear processes, clean cycles, and a team that always knows what’s next and why.
• You work closely with the engineering teams and are responsible for creating, prioritising and maintaining user stories and acceptance criteria in Linear.
• You plan engineer capacity and manage cycle planning: what gets worked on when and why.
• You support the engineering team throughout delivery, clarify open questions and ensure requirements are clear and technically feasible.
• You test newly developed features and ensure all quality criteria are met; features that only half‑work don’t get shipped.
• You analyse usage data, error sources and KPIs to make product success measurable and continuously improve.
• You optimise existing processes and implement AI‑supported automations together with the team.
• You communicate proactively with business stakeholders to keep ticket and feature timelines on track.
• You support go‑to‑market preparation and internal communication (e.g. for Sales, Support, Training).
• You are the owner of our product and continuously optimise SaaS principles on our platform.
• You work with the Product Leadership Team to develop the product strategy and roadmap in the area of packaging compliance – with a focus on PPWR and related regulatory requirements.

Qualities & Experience

• You enjoy working with engineers and know what they need from a good PO: clear requirements, fast decisions, no unnecessary distractions.
• Bonus: You have experience with AI tools for automation, analysis or process optimisation.
• You don’t let ambiguity sit. You get answers, make decisions and see things through.
• You have a high quality bar. Features that only half‑work don’t get shipped.
• You speak fluent English (must have); German is a plus.
• You get up to speed on products and processes quickly and thoroughly – you’re the person who needs to know the tool inside‑out.
• Bonus: You have an interest in topics like sustainability, supply chain and circular economy.
• You have first experience in product management or a similar role, e.g. as PO, BA, Scrum Master in a product team. More important than years of experience is having a strong sense of what great product work looks like.
