Job description

Some companies bury their analysts in reports; Volkswagen puts its Product Owner in the room where the budget gets argued. Where most business jobs cap your reach, this Volkswagen one in Omaha pays $40,000 - $60,000 and widens it the longer you stay.

Key Responsibilities

• Build the model that tells you when to stop a losing business bet
• Find the ownership-driven lever that moves the metric leadership cares about most
• Drive strategic planning and quarterly goal-setting across Volkswagen business units
• Turn a flat-and-fast board mandate into work the business team can start Monday
• Spot when a junior initiative has quietly lost its sponsor
• Build consensus across Lean Product Development and Attention Management owners who rarely agree
• Own the math behind every Product Owner promise made to a customer

What You'll Bring

• The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
• The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard
• Written communication clear enough to survive a forwarded email chain
• Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship
• Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal oversight
• Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of an internship project

Volkswagen treats Omaha, NE as both home and laboratory, prototyping gloriously-unglamorous business ideas no larger rival would risk. As a junior Product Owner, you'll have a real voice in shaping how the business team operates.

We provide $40,000 - $60,000, a wellness budget, retirement matching, and clear milestones for moving up to the next junior.

As of right now, Volkswagen is still reading every resume that lands here.
