In the role as product owner of Dirac Live, you will join an agile product team of passionate developers and audio enthusiasts. You will contribute to product roadmap, feature definition, and architecture choices, maintain an up to date, well defined and prioritized product backlog, define and refine requirements and acceptance criteria for tasks, defects, and enablers, and drive technical breakdown and estimation, in collaboration with the team, the technical lead and the scrum master. You will manage dependencies, technical risks, and stakeholder communication, and help satisfy Dirac customers by ensuring the right scope, schedule, quality, and corresponding delivery. You will work closely with product management (who drives longer-term product strategy, business cases, and roadmap) and project management (who drives project planning and execution across our development portfolio).

You are passionate about the customer and the user journey, and you are adept at user-centric ways of working. You are a pragmatic driver that makes things happen and keeps everyone focused on the right priorities. You find ways around problems to solve the bigger issue. You are great at prioritizing, and you are demanding in your pursuit for speed and quality. You are impatient if things move slowly, yet empathic as an informal leader. You are authentic, structured, and you have seen enough to know that you are not always right. You are a team player in the true sense of the word, focused on team and business success, rather than the means to get there or who gets the credit. You don’t shy away from hard decisions or hard work. As a person, you are structured, consistent, and efficient. And, importantly, you and your team deliver great results while having fun in the process.
