Product Owner

Who we are: SD Worx is a leading European provider of payroll and HR services with global reach. SD Worx's 7,000 employees work in countries across Europe and in Mauritius.

Our goal: We bring HR solutions to life. Our workforce solutions span the entire employee journey, from recruitment, to pay and reward, to talent development.

To do this, we need: An enthusiastic Product Owner (m/f/d) with the irrepressible desire to optimize our software in a customer-oriented way (Freely according to the Bill Gates motto: In every company, our payroll solutions should run!)

What do we have in mind?

We are looking for people who like to create customer and product value as well as to be in direct contact with the partners involved in the software development. Our Product Owners should therefore be argumentative and solution-oriented in representing the interests of customers and stakeholders to the team and at the same time address the sticking points in the development process to the external stakeholders in a target-group-oriented manner. For this, a certain frustration tolerance and resilience are an advantage.

We are definitely not looking for project managers or basta types! So if you like creating Gantt charts, scouring MS project for resources, and feel most comfortable in a Power Point battle (Ohhh... remember those insane effects?), you're in the wrong place. Likewise, if you equate the letter-perfect implementation of the Scrum Guide with an agile mindset.

If, on the other hand, you want to support your colleagues in their daily work through forward-looking planning and excellent preparation of requirements, work constructively on innovative solutions in meetings and use your conceptual strength to design complex software, you are exactly our type.

In addition, do you enjoy building a solid but non-technical understanding of our complex products and expanding your knowledge of the processes involved in creating multi-layered software? If so, you'll be the ideal point of contact for all stakeholders when it comes to product planning and evidence-based progress assessment in an agile work environment.

What do you do at our company?

• Pursue goals like you're Kathrin Janeway
• Develop products like you're Steve Jobs
• Implement projects like you're Bob the Builder
• Fulfill customer wishes like you're Mr. Miyagi

What do you bring to the table?

• Most importantly:
  • Experience supporting agile development teams in a pro-duct owner role with several years of professional experience.
  • Ability to drive the product forward in an agile context in line with requirements and fit for the future
  • University degree or equivalent professional experience
  • Strong, communicative and team-oriented personality
  • Systemic thinking and acting especially in process design to generate business value
  • Enjoy working in a multicultural/international environment
  • Very good knowledge of German and good knowledge of English, both written and spoken.

• Would be nice to have:
  • Certification as a product owner
  • Technical affinity (e.g. analysis & conception in software development, test automation, etc.)
  • Interest in the entire organization (e.g. other business units, marketing, sales, finance, international development areas)

At SD Worx, we live diversity, social awareness and individuality. We focus on people, which is why we give preference to severely disabled applicants with equal suitability.
