Your ideal profile includes experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager in a software environment, ideally with exposure to contract management or equivalent domain. You should have strong ability to define clear requirements, balance priorities and trade-offs, and possess good technical understanding of cloud/web-based solutions. Solid experience with Agile frameworks (Scrum or Kanban), and comfort using tools like Jira, Azure DevOps or comparable platforms is essential. Experience or awareness of UX, QA or QA-automation is a plus. Strong stakeholder management, excellent communication skills in English (any other language skills are bonus), and familiarity with compliance, security or risk topics are advantageous.
