Product Owner

Shape what we build at Voys and why, from sharpening the product decisions in your team to raising the product thinking of the people around you.

Do you get excited about turning fuzzy user problems into products people actually use, and helping a team learn faster while doing it?

Building products that matter

Join our Product Development team and help shape the way businesses build customer relationships across phone, chat, and other conversation channels.

You will be part of a multi-disciplinary scrum team and own the product direction for that team: what gets built, why it matters, and how you'll know it worked. You have real influence over where the product goes, not just which tickets move next.

Beyond your own team, you enjoy growing the product thinking in the organization. Through working alongside the other Product Owners, sharing how you approach discovery and decisions, and being someone others learn from.

From problem to outcome

We're looking for someone with strong product judgement who never loses sight of the user. You ask "what problem are we actually solving?" and "how will we know this worked?" before "what should we build?", and you help the team find a balance between these questions.

You take ownership from the moment a problem is still fuzzy all the way through to a working product, and you don't stop at shipping. You care whether it reached the user and made their lives easier. You can hold a line with stakeholders and say no with a reason, and you make decisions from evidence and user feedback rather than the loudest voice in the room.

🔎 What you bring:

• Several years of experience as a Product Owner in an organization with mature product practice
• Proven product discovery skills: problem validation, hypothesis forming, and outcome-based prioritization
• Stakeholder and expectation management across teams and disciplines
• Data-driven decision-making, using product metrics and user research
• The ability to work closely with engineers while keeping the focus on product value
• Experience in coaching or mentoring other product professionals

It’s nice if you:

• Worked in product-led SaaS
• Experience with continuous delivery or experimentation-driven product work
• Worked in a self-managing or flat team structure

Helped a product organization mature its practices

📍 A note on where you work:

Much of the value in this role comes from working closely with your team, our Customer Experience colleagues, and the other Product Owners. We'd like you to be based in the Netherlands and able to reach our Groningen office once or twice a week. The rest is flexible.

🤝 This is what we offer you:

• A role with real ownership of product direction in an experienced team
• A lot of freedom and responsibility in a self-managing organization
• A modern working place, at the office as well as at home
• A personal study budget for you to grow as a professional
• A job in an international organization with about 130 smart colleagues
• And of course: a working culture where you feel at ease and can be yourself

💡It's no problem if you don't have any experience in self-management. We will gladly guide you. The most important part is that you enjoy taking responsibility and action yourself.

🌍 Please note that at this time we cannot offer visas to candidates outside of the EU.

One last thing… Vacancies can read like a checklist. They are not. If you feel drawn to this role, please apply, even if you don't tick every box. We'd love to talk to you and figure it out together!

But what exactly is Voys?

At Voys, we work with 130 highly educated people in a self-managing organization on innovative communication software. Everything here revolves around equality. Knowledge, experience, the use of data, and a good story are the tools we use to inspire people. Additionally, we're not working for the owners' wallets, as we are a steward-owned company. Our profit serves our mission.
