Job description

Within Nedap Tech Platform, Cloud Platform helps development teams build and run software with confidence. The team creates the secure, compliant, and scalable capabilities behind our customer-facing applications: from landing zones in private and public cloud environments to core networking, zero-trust security, and container runtimes.

As Product Owner Cloud Platform, you give direction to this foundation. Together with a Technical Lead and a team of specialists, you turn a broad platform ambition into clear choices. This helps engineers spend less time working around infrastructure challenges and more time improving their products. You balance what teams need today with the modernization needed to reduce operational pressure over time.

You work closely with the Governance team (consisting of Product, Delivery, and Adoption Managers) to make sure that what we build is genuinely adopted across Nedap.

• Groenlo, Netherlands
• Hybrid
• You are available for 32 to 38 hours per week.
• You will be present at our Campus in Groenlo at least twice a week.

What are you going to do?

Your responsibilities

You make it easier for development teams across Nedap to use reliable cloud capabilities, without having to solve the same underlying challenges themselves.

Shape product direction

Translate platform strategy, the needs of development teams, and technical insights into a clear roadmap and backlog.

Create focus

Make deliberate trade-offs between operational work, reliability, security, and structural modernization.

Enable self-service

Help turn recurring infrastructure work into standardized capabilities that teams can use independently.

Connect people and technology

Align the team, the Governance team, and development teams around the choices that move Cloud Platform forward.

Help specialists thrive

Create rhythm, clarity, and a healthy environment in which team members can take ownership and develop their craft.

Your team

You will join Cloud Platform, one of the four teams within Nedap Tech Platform and part of Foundry. Foundry brings together the shared technology, platforms, and ways of working that help Nedap’s business units build faster, better, and as one. Under the leadership of our CTO, Foundry connects Nedap Tech Platform with AI enablement, cybersecurity, FinOps, business automation, and shared design principles. Together, the NTP teams strengthen hosting, observability, data, and developer enablement for Nedap’s software solutions.

Cloud Platform combines deep technical expertise with the practical question of what development teams need to build safely and move quickly. You will have the freedom to shape your role and approach, while learning alongside a Technical Lead and experienced specialists. The Governance team helps connect strategy, delivery, and adoption, so the capabilities you develop are not only technically strong, but also genuinely useful across Nedap.

What's in it for you?

We have the ambition and the opportunity to shape the future. And we need people with the drive to turn that into meaningful impact. You get the chance to contribute to something truly unique, alongside more than 1,000 driven and like-minded colleagues.

From day one, you help us fulfill our purpose: Technology for Life. The way you grow, take initiative, and deliver impact helps bring that purpose to life. We shape what’s next. Together.

• Compensation. Matching your knowledge and experience. The range for this role is € 5000 - € 7000 gross per month based on full-time employment (38 hours).

• Financial benefits. A 13th month, a solid pension plan, profit sharing, and the opportunity to become a Nedap shareholder.

• Space and trust. You coordinate your own working hours and vacation days in consultation with your colleagues to achieve a healthy work-life balance.

• Professional challenge. Space to explore ideas, work on challenging projects, and collaborate with more than 1,000 driven and like-minded colleagues.

• Development opportunities. You take the lead in your personal and professional growth within Nedap.

Required skills

You get energy from bringing direction to complex technical work without taking it over from the specialists around you. As a Product Owner, you help set priorities and create clarity around capacity needs. You ask the questions that clarify what matters, make choices when priorities compete, and stay curious about how cloud and platform engineering can make other teams more effective. You work openly with colleagues and take responsibility for moving things forward.

• Product Owner experience. You have experience as a Product Owner, Tech Lead, or in a similar role in a technical environment.

• Technical affinity. You understand the challenges around cloud and platform engineering, such as infrastructure, security, developer experience, and reliability.

• Product strategy and prioritization. You can translate technical challenges into clear priorities and explain the trade-offs to different stakeholders.

• People leadership. Experience coaching or leading colleagues is an advantage, not a requirement.

• Language skills. You communicate fluently in English; Dutch is welcome.

Good to know: Hybrid working is common at Nedap, and you and your team can coordinate your working hours to achieve a healthy work-life balance.

Beyond your experience, it is important to us that you identify with our culture and values and are eager to contribute to our purpose of creating Technology for Life.

AI in your work

At Nedap, we see AI as a valuable tool to help us work smarter. We are curious about what it makes possible and actively explore how it can help us collaborate better, improve the way we work, and create solutions that truly matter. We expect you to do the same: remain curious, explore how AI can add value in your work, and use it thoughtfully, responsibly, and with sound judgment. We provide the tools, space, and support to do so.
