Product Owner

Make a Real Difference in the Development of Devices at Nedap Security

As a Product Owner, you will have the opportunity to be the driving force behind our access control Devices. Together with a multidisciplinary R&D team, you will ensure that our devices become smarter, safer and more user-friendly – and thus make a global impact. This Product Owner role is for a minimum of one year, with the possibility of extension.

Our technology, such as RFID readers and controllers for identifying people and vehicles, is used daily by leading organisations. In doing so, we bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds to manage access control. Are you ready to join us in the challenge of making access control even better?

Your responsibilities

As Product Owner, you are the point of contact and driving force behind our Devices portfolio. You translate market needs and customer requirements into a clear product vision and concrete development steps.

• Shape the product vision and translate it into functional requirements.
• Maintain and prioritise the product backlog for a multidisciplinary development team.
• Work closely with internal and external stakeholders (worldwide) to ensure alignment with the market.
• Manage the Devices portfolio, from idea to end-of-life.
• Act as an ambassador for devices within the organisation.

Your team

You will work closely with the R&D Team Lead and a driven group of hardware, mechanical, firmware and embedded OS engineers. Together, you will ensure that product strategy is translated into maximum value for our partners and customers. You will also work closely with colleagues from commercial and operational teams.

Our offer

As a Product Owner at Nedap, you will make a valuable contribution to our goal: making people happier and more successful in their professional lives. In addition to your salary, you are entitled to a thirteenth month, a good pension scheme, and profit sharing with the opportunity to become a shareholder of Nedap. At Nedap, everything revolves around trust and autonomy. That’s why, along with your colleagues, you decide on your own working hours and vacation days to maintain a healthy work-life balance. We also highly value personal and professional growth. You will receive a comprehensive introduction, and we encourage you to continuously develop yourself.

Required experience and skills

As a Product Owner, you have strong communication skills: you switch effortlessly between different internal and external stakeholders. You are analytically strong, results-oriented and derive energy from achieving joint product objectives. You can strike the right balance between quality and time-to-market and are not afraid to make decisions.

In addition, you recognise yourself in the following:

• Experience: Several years of experience as a Product Owner or in a similar role, such as Product Manager or Project Manager;
• Language skills: Excellent command of Dutch and English;
• An affinity with hardware and technology, and an understanding of the complexity within R&D and the manufacturing industry is a major advantage;
• Experience with Agile working methods and tools such as JIRA, Confluence and MS Teams is an advantage.

Good to know: This is a one-year role. There is the prospect of a permanent contract, but this is not yet guaranteed. You are available for 32-38 hours per week. Hybrid (remote) working is common at Nedap and you and your team will agree on your working hours to ensure a good work-life balance. Preferably, you will be present at our campus in Groenlo at least twice a week.
