Product Owner
Who You Will Work For:
Makersite is an award-winning data software company that empowers teams to manage product sustainability, cost, and compliance; simultaneously, from a web browser. Our mission is to help manufacturing companies make better decisions and create safer, more sustainable products through data-driven analysis. We believe that technology can help corporations to have a more positive impact on their environment. That is why we developed a platform that uses cutting-edge technology, big data, and breakthrough algorithms to deliver product intelligence, unlike anything on the market.
For manufacturing companies with complex supply chains that want to accelerate product development, build resilience or reduce costs, Makersite is a disruptive digital twin platform that uses AI to connect and enrich cross-departmental data into live models for analysis, collaboration and decision support. Digital twins can be used to understand how externalities like regulations, supply shortages etc. affect a business and help teams evaluate scenarios considering multiple criteria like costs, environment, compliance etc. at the same time.
Who We Are Looking For:
We are seeking a Product Owner to join our team and bring clarity, guidance, and expertise to our product development efforts. If you're passionate about solving complex problems, collaborating with talented teams, and driving impactful results, this is the role for you.
What You Will Do:
Define and Communicate Product Goals: Establish and maintain clear product objectives aligned with business strategy and ensure they are communicated effectively to all stakeholders.
Own the Product Backlog: Develop, prioritize, and communicate the product backlog to ensure it reflects the needs of the business and users.
Provide Contextual Guidance: Leverage your domain expertise to provide the development team with contextual guidance, ensuring they understand what they are building and why.
Collaborate with Key Stakeholders: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including engineering, design, and business stakeholders, to ensure alignment and transparency.
Navigate Uncertainty: Thrive in a fast-paced environment with a high degree of uncertainty, balancing competing priorities and making decisions with incomplete information.
Drive Transparency: Establish processes to keep all stakeholders informed of progress, priorities, and trade-offs.
Your Impact:
You will address critical gaps in capacity within our teams and provide the domain-specific expertise needed to guide our product development. Your leadership will ensure the clarity and focus needed to drive product success in a fast-moving and complex environment.
Top Challenges:
Managing high levels of uncertainty in a fast-paced and ever-evolving landscape.
Developing a deep understanding of complex domains (sustainability, supply chain, and B2B SaaS) in a short time frame.
Balancing priorities and making strategic sacrifices to achieve long-term goals.
Differentiating the role of Product Ownership from project management and staying focused on delivering value.
2+ years of consultancy experience, demonstrating strong problem-solving and stakeholder management skills.
Expertise in B2B SaaS software, with a proven track record of delivering impactful products.
Educational background or work experience in supply chain or sustainability domains.
Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and prioritize competing demands.
Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, to articulate complex ideas clearly.
What You Can Expect From Us:
Belonging - Be part of the sustainability megatrend
Development – a steep learning-curve, both personally and professionally
Pride - Do amazing work with an international, vibrant and passionate top-class team.
Passion - International customers that love what we do and share our vision.
Remote Working - Work 100% remote if you like (in the EU)
Values-driven culture - we're proud of our culture.
Time-Off - 30 days of paid time off per year.
Technology – State-of-the-art equipment.
Competitive salary
