Product Owner

It’s an exciting time to work at Hive Streaming! We have grown significantly over the last few years and now rank among the top SaaS companies in the Nordics. In 2021, Microsoft selected Hive to become the recipient of its prestigious ISV of the Year award.

In these turbulent times, great employee video communication is crucial for enterprise companies to create engagement and alignment to survive and succeed. At Hive Streaming we are proud to offer an industry-leading solution to this demand. We help multiple Fortune 500 customers analyze, secure, and optimize their video experience on a daily basis.

We are looking for our new Product Owner for the Video Analytics Product line. You will be part of our hybrid workplace which gives you the opportunity to work both remote and from our HQ in Stockholm. You will report directly to the VP of Product.

What is Hive Analytics?

Hive Analytics offers actionable and personalized insights for its customers. We have a unique offering combining data on engagement, video quality, reach and network performance. What’s in it for our stakeholders? We can help them to have a clear picture and take the right decisions.

The team is a Product department with a centric position at Hive, which makes it easy to work closely with all other departments and deliver competitive, innovative and exciting products into our ecosystem. We know that a strong team makes the most awesome decisions, so it’s important for us that everyone in the team has a voice. We want you to feel free to ask us spot-on product questions nobody’s asked us before. We can’t promise to make all your ideas come true, but we promise we’re keen to hear you out. At the end of the day, what really rocks our boat is contributing to the success of our customers.

The Perks of Working at Hive

🏼 Have it your way! At the office, at home or on the ski slope (did I go too far?) - your way is the best way but flexibility is everyone's way at Hive! We use Microsoft Teams to collaborate, we have digital kick-off's and provide you opportunities to work either remotely or in a hybrid setting.

Without you = no Hive? We are a fast-paced, global (over 35 nationalities among our 100 co-workers around the globe) scale-up company that empowers every single coworker. Everyone is unique and important for our growth. You will play an important role in the company’s future success.

🏽‍♀️ Flexibility (cannot say it enough)... we have flexible working hours to encourage work-life balance.

Contribution to innovation and a better world! Hive helps enterprises to communicate through video instead of flying people in from across the globe, which means Hive employees directly contribute to a greener world!

The boring but most important... salaries are good, insurances are good, awesome health benefits (did someone say free massage at the office?) and hopefully you stay good (& healthy)!
