About us

ATOSS Software SE is one of Germany’s most successful tech growth stories. As the market leader in Workforce Management Software, we help companies work more intelligently, creatively, and humanely optimizing the balance between profitability and people.

We’re a rare company: according Handelsblatt (10/24), just 309 public companies worldwide achieved over 20% return on sales for ten consecutive years. Only one based in Germany: ATOSS Software SE.

With 20 years of record breaking growth, over €2 billion market cap, and listings in SDAX and TecDAX, we’re scaling globally and we’re growing.

If you’re ready to drive impact in a high-performing B2B SaaS environment, this is your chance to elevate your career.

The Person You are

At ATOSS, we hire for both character and skill, seeking individuals who embody resilience, a pioneering spirit, and the passion to grow.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Product Owner to partner closely with the Product Manager and translate product strategy, customer needs, and business priorities into valuable product outcomes.

You transform strategic priorities into clear initiatives, epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, and release-ready product increments. You ensure delivery teams have the clarity, context, and prioritization needed to build products that deliver measurable customer and business value.

As a key link between Product Management, Engineering, UX, and customer-facing teams, you create alignment, manage trade-offs, and drive successful product delivery in a fast-paced B2B SaaS environment.
