Product Owner

Shape the value: Identify needs & gaps from current business, internal stakeholders, and the market… to potentially create values for the organization through initiations of new digital products, platforms, and technologies. Collaborate with stakeholders across the organization to ensure that innovative products and services align with the company's overall strategy and goals. 

Level up process: Define the key processes and gather expert to start improving processes radically. you don’t digitalize non-sense processes - you help to elevate them to the next level. Some of the best deliverables of a software is… having no software at all. Along with the business, you shape the journeys that bring real values to the organization (and cut down unnecessary one).  

Deliver stuff, digital stuff: Lead (and own the success of) the development of those innovative product ideas and concepts, leveraging emerging technologies and trends (either from the market or Heineken Global). Development teams can be in-house, our Innovation dev hub, or external partner and Global partner, or can buy / rent a technology entirely. It’s up to you! 

Understand the customers / users: Develop a deep understanding of customer needs and preferences and use this knowledge to drive the development of products that resonate with our target audience. Depending on projects, users can be a normal beer drinker, or an accountant doing manual work, or a retail owner who barely knows about tech & app. That’s the exciting part of the job. 

Be the connector: Work closely with cross-functional teams to plan and execute the development of innovative products and services, using Agile methodologies and tools. 

Champion the Innovation: Keep in touch with the world to identify trends, technology and opportunities in the market, and use this information to inform product development decisions. 

Live by data: Use data and analytics to track the performance of innovative products and services, identify areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions. Some of your projects might generate invaluable data as well.
