Who are we looking for?

Are you a practical product owner (hands-on/front-end) who not only talks about processes, but also makes them really work? Someone who keeps an overview, sets priorities and at the same time can help build the front end themselves? Then we are looking for you at ISO2HANDLE in Apeldoorn.

We are a compact, ambitious software company with a team of 20 colleagues (including 7 in development). No cumbersome organization, no theoretical plans that disappear in a drawer — but build, improve and bring them live together.

What are you going to do?

As Product Owner, you are responsible for the overview, priorities and planning of our platform. You know exactly:

How our products work
What's in it
What's not in it (yet)
What the impact of new wishes is
What can be used and when

You collect and combine insights from sales, support and customers to determine the product vision. You translate strategic goals into a prioritized roadmap, so that the development team works on the most impactful initiatives that are in line with our long-term strategy.

Concretely, this means that you:

Controlling the development team (developers, UX and UI) in terms of content
Create tickets and manage the backlog
Monitor the schedule and communicate clearly
Proactively engage with stakeholders
Prioritizes bugs and urgent issues
Make sure the team can work as efficiently as possible
Participates in the front end (React/Next.js) where necessary (about half the time)

So you are not a theoretical PO, but someone with your feet in the clay.

What does a working day at ISO2HANDLE look like?

You start the day with the stand-up. Short, sharp and focused.

Then you'll spar with sales, support and development stakeholders about new ideas, customer questions and improvements. You bring everything together into a coherent and realistic planning.

Throughout the day:

Work out your tickets for developers
Answer your questions about features, releases, and issues
Align your priorities in case of bugs or emergencies
Develop yourself in the front end
Monitor and communicate progress towards release

You ensure that a release runs smoothly and that customers are well informed. What if something goes live successfully? Then we'll celebrate that together.

In short: you are the spider in the web — but one that brings structure.

What do we ask of you?

We are looking for an experienced, practical Product Owner with overview and execution power.

You have:

At least 3 years of proven experience as a Product Owner or similar role
HBO work and thinking level (preferably business background)
Experience working with Agile/Scrum

Knowledge and insight into operational business processes
Excellent communication skills
Strong connecting and relational qualities

In addition:

Do you make sure everyone does the right things?
Can you manage realistic plans and expectations
Bring peace and focus to a development team
Do you have an affinity with QHSE/KAM (plus)

Character traits

Decisive
Communicative skills
Team player, able to deal with and weigh various interests
Used to working in a dynamic environment where doing it yourself, in addition to managing, is the culture and working with deadlines is a matter of course.
