Open Jobs:
Do you get energized while strategizing sharp solutions for complex problems?
Do you like to be the one who drives fast-paced cloud and DevOps deliveries?
You might be the Senior Technical Product Manager we are looking for!
You will join a team of Web/Mobile App & Ecommerce Developers and Consults invested wholeheartedly in building and delivering good software.
As Technical Product manager, you will:
- work with our Director of Strategy to write project requirements and scope of work for our Web/Mobile App and Ecommerce Projects.
- Facilitate our Product Strategy Workshops and writing supporting documentation.
- Communicate with clients to manage their project progress and strategize new solutions.
- Lead the development team and scrum cycles for your projects.
Because you’re human, you will not be expected to do all of that at the same time, but your role will entail all of the above mentioned responsibilities or accountabilities.
Skills and experience
We hope you are a professional who digs into the important details, is not afraid to “get hands dirty” with technicalities but is also able to see the overall view and coordinate multiple aspects of a delivery with different stakeholders. You are not expected to be a developer, but you’re expected to understand different technologies and architectures at a level that is needed for efficient project planning and control activities. You find writing technical documentation and scopes of work in detail almost joyful.
As a person, we believe you have:
- Prior work experience in Product Strategy in application or ecommerce development projects and client delivery (min. 3 years)
- Prior experience in participating or facilitating client-facing Workshops
- Experience delivering projects with Agile/SAFe methodologies, preferably in a scrum master role
- Experience delivering customized software projects
- Excellent writing and communication skills
- Ability to work with targets and deadlines
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related field (or equivalent work experience)
We value experience/knowledge in one or more of the following:
- Project management related certifications (such as SAFe, scrum master, PMP)
- Knowledge and practical applications of System Development Life Cycle concepts
- Experience as release manager in agile/DevOps delivery initiatives
- Knowledge (even better if hands-on) of CI/CD concepts and the related tooling
- Experience of working in DevOps set-ups
We also appreciate experience of different business sectors and IT-consulting. To feel at home with us you should have excellent team spirit and passion to learn and develop your skills further. We give you the freedom to do your work but we expect you to be self-driven and worth of the trust.
