About the companyAt T-Mining, we are building Secure Container Release (SCR), a critical component of a modern harbour's container release process. Our solution is used by major carriers, shippers and their intermediary parties such as freight forwarders, transporters, etc. Currently we are active in 20+ countries, with +8000 connected companies and are processing over 1.5M container releases every year.
About the roleT-Mining's Secure Container Release (SCR) is evolving fast. What began as a secure container release solution is evolving into an orchestration platform connecting carriers, terminals, forwarders and transport companies. That evolution brings two kinds of product work.
On one side, we're developing major product extensions that expand the platform, new capabilities and deeper integrations with other solution providers. These concepts are visually outlined but not yet fully specified, and need someone who can make them complete, translate them into clear functional specifications, and guide implementation from start to finish. On the other hand, we continuously improve the product through short-term enhancements driven by customer requests, security fixes, and operational improvements that keep it reliable and responsive.
We're looking for a hands-on Product Owner who brings structure, clarity, and focus across both. You critically question concepts from a user perspective before translating them into specs, and you ensure that teams can execute with minimal ambiguity and high quality, whether that's a major product extension or a small but important fix.
You work closely with the Head of Product, who defines vision and priorities, and with the development team in the daily scrum. You work closely with a senior engineering counterpart to align on solutions and ensure that what gets built is both functionally sound and technically robust.
Key responsibilities
1. Drive execution of key product extensionEnsure product work for SCR product extensions is clearly defined, fully specified, and ready for development before development starts:Map current workflows, business rules, and edge cases, and design "to-be" processes within a defined scopeTranslate defined product directions into clear, structured functional solutionsRefine and validate with users and partners where neededDefine MVP scope, acceptance criteria, and success metrics together with engineering, design, and commercial teamsBreak down solutions into clear, structured tickets and documentation ready for developmentEnsure all work meets a clear "ready for development" standard
2. Collaborate with software engineering on solution designWork closely with senior software engineers to shape how solutions are built:Align on technical feasibility, architecture, and trade-offsChallenge and refine solutions together to ensure they are both functional and scalableAct as the bridge between product and engineering to ensure shared understanding before development starts
3. Drive clear and predictable deliveryEnsure development progresses with clarity, focus, and the right priorities:Be an active member of the Scrum team, participate in sprint planning, review, and retrospectiveMaintain clear and structured tickets and requirements throughout deliveryFacilitate refinement and alignment moments with engineeringKeep visibility on what is being built and whyOwn the short-term roadmap across product extensions, client requests, security fixes, and improvementsTrack progress against the roadmap, identify delays or risks, and proactively adjust priorities where neededMake clear prioritization decisions and trade-offs between long-term value and short-term urgencyImprove how work moves from idea to delivery through better scoping, documentation, and clarity
4. Ensure adoption and measurable impactEnsure new features are successfully rolled out and deliver real value:Coordinate pilots and go-lives with stakeholdersMeasure results against defined success metrics and expected outcomesTranslate learnings into concrete next steps such as improvements, scaling, or follow-up actionsCollaborate closely with the Growth Marketeer, who co-drives communication and follow-up for new features and pilots, ensuring consistent messaging and effective user adoption
5. Drive product adoption and user feedbackEnsure the platform is well adopted and continuously improve based on real usage:Monitor adoption of new features and follow up where usage lags behind expectationsGather user feedback on live features and translate this into concrete improvementsWork closely with the data expert to track key KPIs and understand performance trends
