ARE YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE?
We want you to be a part of our team, from Brussels, as an Expert Product Owner.
WHAT WILL YOU DO IN YOUR DAY-TO-DAY?
- Manage and prioritize the product backlog

- Coordinate delivery planning, releases, and milestones
- Ensure alignment between business, technical teams, and stakeholders
- Track progress, risks, and dependencies
- Support UAT, release readiness, and stakeholder communication
WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM YOU?
• Experience working on IT systems that support public administration, regulatory compliance, or policy implementation (e.g. reporting obligations, licensing or permitting systems, registries, data processing and visualisation).
• Experience in Agile methodologies.
• Good knowledge of the Agile toolkit (e.g., JIRA, Confluence, Balsamiq, Gliffy, etc., or equivalent).
• Good knowledge of application management lifecycle.
• Knowledge of data modelling and conceptual API design.
• Knowledge of DevSecOps principles.
• Ability to specify and validate conceptual API designs (REST/JSON or equivalent) and to ensure that API capabilities support business and legal needs.
• Ability to drive user requirements and data publication in terms of a compelling narrative and visual data stories.
• Experience managing products in an ecosystem where GUI front ends and machine-to-machine interfaces must remain aligned.
• Experience with products deployed on public cloud environments and using managed services (e.g. database, object storage, logging/monitoring, etc.).
• Understanding of operational constraints and opportunities in using centralised corporate solutions and/or cloud-based solutions (availability, observability, security, cost implications) and ability to factor these into product decisions.
• Familiarity (conceptual, not necessarily hands-on) with technologies similar to those in the current stack (e.g. Java EE/WebLogic, Spring/JPA, Oracle databases, S3-like storage, Elasticsearch, Angular-based front ends). Though a strong technical background is a highly desirable added value.
• Proven experience ensuring that product requirements and acceptance criteria take into account security, privacy, compliance and operational needs, in line with DevSecOps principles.
