Are you passionate about working with cross-functional teams and following a product lifecycle?

NAVTOR is seeking a Product Owner to take the lead on NavBox, our onboard platform that runs on standardized PCs and acts as a critical integration and data‑exchange layer across the NAVTOR product ecosystem.

If you thrive in a technically complex environment, enjoy cross‑team collaboration, and are motivated by delivering high‑quality, business‑critical solutions, this could be the role for you.

About the role

As Product Owner, you will own a platform used fleet‑wide in active operations. This position requires strong prioritization abilities, technical understanding, and confident decision‑making in a distributed and cross‑functional setting.

• Prepare backlog items for refinement and sprint planning

• Propose clear sprint goals and priorities

• Prepare and lead Sprint Reviews/Demos

• Collaborate closely with the Team Lead on planning and capacity

• Participate actively in team ceremonies and cross‑functional meetings

• Work with stakeholders and users to understand real needs

• Perform initial analysis before work reaches the team

• Ensure backlog items include clear descriptions, context & acceptance criteria

Ways of working (Scrum)

• Follow Scrum principles

• Respect sprint commitments and team capacity

• Work closely with the Team Lead / Scrum Master

• Promote transparency and predictable delivery

Team Collaboration

• Be a strong partner to the development team

• Support with clarifications and decision‑making

• Help build a focused, sustainable, and motivating working environment

• Act as the main point of contact for NavBox topics

• Communicate priorities, progress, and decisions clearly

• Align expectations between business and development teams

What we are looking for

• Strong ownership mindset and decision‑making ability

• Ability to prioritize based on business value

• Comfort with technically complex products or platforms

• Curiosity and willingness to deeply understand the product

• Good communication and collaboration skills

• Experience working in distributed teams

• Basic understanding of Scrum (PSPO I or willingness to obtain)

• Experience with platform or integration-heavy products

• Technical background or strong technical understanding

• Experience balancing maintenance and new product development
