Proxy Product Owner (m/f/d), Wiesbaden/Remote

Your mission
As a Proxy Product Owner (PPO), you are the bridge between our customers and our agile development teams. You take responsibility for the implementation of technical requirements and ensure that our teams always know what needs to be done - and, above all, why. You don't act as an assistant to the product owner, but as a central point of contact in the project team and a driver of pragmatic, agile and value-creating software development.

Your job

• Representing or supporting the customer PO - or taking on this role if there is not (yet) one
• Contact person for the dev team: You translate customer wishes into tangible requirements in the form of user stories and ensure clarity in the sprint
• Prioritization & structuring: You structure backlogs and prioritize requirements in a meaningful way so that MVPs or features are delivered quickly
• Agile impulse generator: You bring agile working methods into classic project structures - step by step, pragmatically and effectively
• Technical depth: You familiarize yourself quickly and comprehensively with the domain of your project, can capture and evaluate requirements in depth, recognize potential for improvement and introduce them constructively
• Stakeholder communication: You conduct structured discussions with all of the customer's stakeholders to clarify requirements and manage expectations
• Advise with foresight: You recognize when a project needs additional support and take the appropriate action
• Promote agile working: You help your team and the client to better understand and apply agile principles
