We are facing an exciting future with considerable growth and demanding changes.

• Act as a trusted product ambassador by communicating direction, sharing knowledge, challenging assumptions, and continuously strengthening product management practices

Bring your expertise into play

• 5-7 years of experience within Product Management, including customer and market insight, product strategy, roadmap development, and lifecycle management, preferably within the Defense domain

• A solid technical understanding incl. product development frameworks and interest in how continuous platform development and systems configuration work and fit into a product portfolio perspective
