Product & Delivery Lead

As Product & Delivery Lead, you are responsible for the product direction and coordinated delivery of the next technology platform across teams and workstreams.

What are you going to do?

At Nedap in Security, we help organizations around the world manage physical access securely and reliably. Our technology ensures that the right people have access to the right places and gives organizations control over their security.

We are building a new technology platform for our future security solutions. The first major challenge is to develop a new access control proposition that enables existing customers to move from AEOS to a new platform while retaining the continuity and confidence they rely on.

You translate portfolio priorities into a clear product plan and work closely with the teams to turn those plans into working results. The challenge is to balance customer needs, technical development and delivery while building a way of working that grows with this new technology platform.

Initially, you will be closely involved in day-to-day product development and delivery. As more teams and workstreams are added, your focus is expected to shift increasingly toward the bigger picture: maintaining direction and alignment across the program while others take ownership of individual areas. How this develops will depend on what the program needs.

Your responsibilities

This technology platform is at the beginning of an ambitious development journey. The teams are growing, the platform is taking shape, and not everything has been decided yet. You bring focus and help us move forward while helping to organize product development effectively. You:

Shape the product plan

You translate portfolio priorities into clear product goals and a roadmap, balancing customer value, technical needs and available capacity.

Take responsibility for delivery

You agree on achievable milestones and clear outcomes with the teams and help them deliver working solutions.

Maintain alignment

You keep an overview of priorities and dependencies across teams and workstreams, discuss risks and adjust course when needed.

Bring perspectives together

You work with customers and colleagues across product, engineering and the AEGIS program to make well-informed decisions.

Help build for growth

You help shape how product responsibility and delivery are organized as this grows, so that responsibilities can be shared effectively.

Your team

Within this new technology platform, colleagues from across Nedap in Security work together to build the foundation for our next generation of security solutions. We are starting with a small number of dedicated teams and expect to grow further over the coming year.

You work closely with engineers, technical leads, the Team Lead Engineering, Program Manager, AI Enablement Coach/Engineer and colleagues from the wider program. Together, you discover what works, make decisions and develop the collaboration needed to move forward. You also participate in the program’s product management team, where product, commercial and program perspectives come together.

As this grows, Product Owners or Workstream Leads may join to take responsibility for specific areas. Their responsibilities and the way you will work together are still taking shape. You have the opportunity to help build an organization that fits the challenge ahead.

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.

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.
