We offer a fulltime position as Product Owner with placement at our Växjö or Stockholm office and possibilities for partly flexible workplace. On a personal level we strive for continuity, equal possibilities for all and flexibility to balance the work-life puzzle of all employees.

About the role

As a Product Owner at IST you will work as a part of our Strategy and Vision department where you will join a team of other Product Owners, Product managers and UX Designers located in Växjö, Linköping and Stockholm, Sweden.  

- You work hands-on together with the development team to prioritize, plan and deliver software that meets the customers’ expectations. You are also responsible for release and maintenance coordination for your responsible systems.

- You have a key role in leading the priorities and product backlog towards our common strategy and vision and ensure sustainable products and product quality.

About you

To be the right person for this job, you have quite a few years' experience in development projects of various sizes. You might also, but do not have to have, experience from being a Product owner. It’s an advantage if you have a technical background and understanding of software development. And as you will on a regular basis talk to Scandinavian customers you also need to talk and understand Swedish.

You either have an academic degree in a software related field or you have worked in a similar role before. We believe you have great communication skills and a true commitment, not only contributing to the team and the people around you, but to the organization as a whole.
