Job description

• You own the data platform and drive its vision, quality, and long-term value.
• You build a scalable and reliable product that enables data, analytics, and innovation.
• You work with multiple data platform teams that collectively develop a high-quality platform product.
• You collaborate daily with business stakeholders, technology teams, data specialists, and the Data Leadership Team.

As Product Owner Data Platform, you are ultimately accountable for the Data Platform product. You ensure the platform remains cohesive, high-quality, and future-proof, while continuously delivering value to Jumbo.

Get started! This is what you will do

You are responsible for the vision and evolution of Jumbo’s central data platform. This platform provides the foundation that enables data analysts, data scientists, and engineers to build sustainable and reusable data products.

You translate strategic objectives into a clear roadmap and make deliberate product decisions. Rather than focusing on individual requests or short-term optimizations, you take a holistic view of the platform. You continuously balance quality, simplicity, and impact—deciding not only what to add, but also what to leave out.

Working closely with engineering teams, architects, and fellow product owners, you drive the development of capabilities such as data ingestion, data governance, data sharing, and the core platform foundation. You champion consistent engineering principles, reusable building blocks, and a platform experience that feels intuitive and reliable for its users.

The teams you collaborate with are experienced, highly skilled, and opinionated. You bring strong product thinking to the table by asking the right questions, challenging assumptions, and safeguarding long-term product quality.

You maintain clear visibility of progress, quality, and business value. You make decisions transparent, create alignment across stakeholders, and adjust course when necessary—not because a process dictates it, but because the platform and its users will benefit from it.

Your main responsibilities:

• Develop and actively communicate the product vision.
• Safeguard platform cohesion, quality, and long-term value.
• Define clear product priorities and make informed trade-offs.
• Engage, influence, and challenge stakeholders from a product perspective.
• Drive the adoption of reusable building blocks and consistent platform principles.
• Take ownership of Jumbo’s central data platform.
• Ensure platform stability, reliability, and cost efficiency.

Together we are Jumbo: This is where you will work

You operate at the intersection of business, technology, and data. As the central point of contact for everything related to the data platform, you oversee the platform as one cohesive product.

In this role, you work closely with engineering teams, architects, product owners, and the Data Leadership Team to shape and continuously improve the foundation that powers data-driven decision‑making across Jumbo.

Profile

• Proven experience as a Product Owner within a data, technology, or digital environment.
• Strong product mindset with a keen eye for quality, consistency, and long‑term value.
• Able to translate vision and strategy into a clear, scalable, and coherent product.
• Decisive and comfortable taking ownership and accountability.
• Confident in constructively challenging teams and stakeholders to drive better outcomes.
• Experience with data platforms, cloud technologies, and architecture principles.

We offer

• A gross salary between €6.000 - €7.700 per month (based on 40 hours).
• An annual bonus of max 10% of your annual salary, based on organizational goals.
• 30 days of paid holiday (with the opportunity to buy or sell days of paid holiday) and 8% holiday allowance.
• You build up a pension through participation in the Pension Fund for the Food Industry.
• A(n) (electric) lease car. We like to work together in the office, but you can also work partly from home.
• Room for entrepreneurship, growth and development. Not only in your job but also through our Jumbo Academy, online training through GoodHabitz and with a training budget.
• Daily fresh lunch in our Foodcafé, good coffee and fresh fruit. You can sport daily at our own Jumbo Gym for a small fee.
• Colleague discounts such as 10% off your groceries (up to €325 per year), participation in our collective health insurance or discounts through Beneftits at Work.
