You will work with future tech to ensure we will be leading in electrification, and you will also have a direct influence on the sustainability agenda and customer satisfaction.

As a product owner (PO) you will own, build, prioritize, decide, and refine the stories (tasks) in the team’s backlog. You will participate in formulating and reviewing the acceptance criteria for stories and support the team through continuous feedback. You will take lead in the coordination of content dependencies with other product owners, relevant stakeholders and decision-makers.

In addition to the daily interactions with your team, where you play an important role as a servant leader, you will also be a member of the extended Product Management team and review and contribute to the program-level vision, roadmap, and content.
