• Customer Discovery & Validation: Conduct follow-up conversations and deep-dive interviews with our Dutch-speaking clients. You will investigate their pain points, clarify their needs, and validate solutions before we write a single line of code.
• Sales Partnership & Deal Support: Sit in on strategic sales calls as the ultimate product expert. You will assist the sales team in closing deals by answering complex product questions, handling technical objections, and demonstrating product value.
• Master the Domain: Proactively learn the deep technical logic of our SaaS platform, data analytics, and EU tachograph legislation to become our internal and external product authority.
• Translate Strategy to Execution: Translate high-level Epics from the Head of Product into flawlessly detailed user stories and acceptance criteria, ensuring every ticket clearly captures the underlying business value.
• Internal Gatekeeping: Act as the primary filter for product feedback from internal colleagues. You will apply problem-focused qualification to dig to the root cause of requests before anything touches the backlog.
• Backlog Structuring for Strategy: Group and organize the Jira backlog by current business goals (e.g., churn prevention, upselling). Within those strategic groups, you ruthlessly filter the "must-haves" from the "nice-to-haves".
• Release Scheduling & Iterative Delivery: Own sprint prioritization to maximize development efficiency. You know how to slice a complex, multi-sprint Epic so the first sprint yields a standalone, releasable increment that immediately delivers value.
• Autonomous UX Decisions: Make smart, independent decisions for functional implementations and UI/UX flows based on general B2B SaaS best practices and the direct insights you gather from your customer interviews.
• Product Analytics & Optimization: Define, set up, and track product analytics (PostHog, MS Clarity, Google Analytics) to identify adoption trends and friction points.

• Language Requirements: Native or fully fluent in Dutch (to speak with our clients and sales team) and fluent in English (to collaborate flawlessly with our remote development team).
• Experience: 4+ years as a Product Owner or Product Manager in a fast-paced B2B SaaS environment.
• Client-Facing Confidence: You are highly comfortable getting on a call with a prospect or customer. You know how to navigate sales environments and ask the right non-leading questions during user interviews.
• Problem-Space Thinker: You don't just build what people ask for. You know how to interrogate both internal stakeholders and external customers to find the actual pain point behind a feature request.
• Technical & UX Aptitude: Strong understanding of modern software development, API logic, and standard SaaS UX patterns.
• User-Story Expert: You write exceptional user stories. Developers rarely have to ask you "what happens if this/that?" because you have already defined it.
• AI Curiosity: You are excited by an AI-first culture and are comfortable using modern AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, v0, etc.) to accelerate spec writing and product management.
• Bonus: Previous exposure to or affinity with logistics, transport, or compliance software.
