You’ve already started daydreaming? Keep reading - this opportunity is even better than you imagined!
Defining product priorities in line with the value stream roadmap and challenging that roadmap when you see a better way forward;
managing the backlog at story level and steering sprint and PI planning with a horizon of three to six twelve months;
taking responsibility for delivery, including scope, planning, capacity, dependencies, operational excellence and budget and forecasting;
building strong functional and technical knowledge of your solutions while safeguarding architecture, integrations and product quality;
acting as the first point of contact for your products within TPS and towards the different Mediahuis entities, translating stakeholder needs into clear requirements and priorities;
managing supplier relationships and discussing product evolution, new requirements and contractual impact;
helping your team grow through relevant metrics, recruitment and delegated people management.
For this role, we expect you to work from our Hasselt and/or Antwerp office at least 1 day every 2 weeks. Occasionally, you’ll visit one of our other offices – approximately once per quarter. Depending on our roadmap and planned workshops, there may be periods in which you travel more frequently.
What’s on your CV, is important but is by no means the only thing we attach importance to. You combine ownership with collaboration and bring clarity and structure to a complex environment. You feel comfortable making decisions at the intersection of functionality, technology, architecture and delivery, even when you don’t have all the information yet. You know how to translate complex and competing needs into clear priorities and plans, and you are comfortable challenging and interacting with senior stakeholders. An IT degree is not a must, but relevant experience and the analytical ability to understand how software, applications and complex data flows work together are important. You have experience as a Product Owner or Solution Owner in agile product development, with business processes and CRM systems, backlog and dependency management, architecture and integrations, and supplier management. You have previously taken on hierarchical leadership responsibilities, preferably within software development teams. Experience in advertising, media or another data-driven commercial environment is a plus. A fluent knowledge of Dutch and English is required. Above all, we believe in your drive and motivation!
You’ll join TPS, the international technology organization of Mediahuis. More specifically, you’ll become part of our Monetisation domain, where we develop and manage the platforms behind advertising sales, placement and revenue. Your team is responsible for the solution landscape supporting advertising sales across multiple brands and countries. You’ll work alongside software developers, business analysts, developers and architects and collaborate closely with the Business Partner, Delivery Manager, domain architects and stakeholders throughout the different Mediahuis entities.
