Job Description

THE ROLE

We're looking for a Product Owner with 4 years of experience who's ready to level up. You'll join a small but experienced product team of two Senior POs and a UI/UX designer, working directly with the CPO.

This is a high-trust, low-bureaucracy environment. You won't be handed a rigid spec and told to execute. You'll be expected to challenge assumptions, improve how we work, and bring genuine energy to making IWD's product better. We're an AI-first team, Claude, Claude Code (Spec-Driven Development) and Notion are our daily tools, and we expect you to embrace that fully.

HOW WE WORK

–    Small product team with direct access to decision makers

–    Kanban-based continuous delivery

–    Strong collaboration between Product, Design and Engineering

–    AI-assisted workflows are part of daily work, not experimentation

–    Fast iteration cycles 

–    High autonomy with high accountability

WHAT YOU'LL DOO

Backlog & delivery

–    Own and prioritise your own product backlog

–    Write clear user stories, epics and acceptance criteria that development teams can actually build from

–    Facilitate an effective Kanban-based delivery process, protect the team from scope creep and over-commitment

–    Ensure releases are well-scoped, high quality and continuously delivered

Stakeholder & client work

–    Be the bridge between development, design, sales, marketing and real enterprise clients

–    Run UAT with stakeholders and clients to make sure what ships is what was wanted

–    Act as product ambassador, demoing features, answering questions, keeping everyone aligned

Strategy & process

–    Contribute to future roadmap planning, not just execute, but influence what gets built and why

–    Use data and KPIs to measure impact and make better decisions

–    Actively improve the team's processes, we want someone who'll spot what's broken and fix it

Preferred Experience

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

–    3–4 years as a Product Owner or similar role in a software product environment

–    B2B software experience — you understand enterprise clients and the complexity that comes with them

–    AI-forward — you actively use AI tools in your workflow, not as a novelty but as a genuine productivity multiplier

–    Fluent English — clear, confident written and verbal communication is essential

–    Self-starter — you take ownership of the subjects and not wait for them to be solved. 

–    Genuinely Collaborative 

–    Experience in retail, CPG, visual merchandising or supply chain software is a strong differentiator

We believe diverse teams build better products, and we encourage applications from people of all backgrounds.

WHY IWD

–    Big fish, small pond, your decisions will ship and you'll see the impact

–    Senior mentorship from day one, two experienced POs who will invest in your growth

–    AI-first team, we're building how future product teams work, not catching up

–    While we move fast, we care deeply about clear ownership, strong collaboration and sustainable delivery.

–    Flexible location, Western Europe, remote-friendly

–    A product category that's genuinely interesting, the intersection of retail strategy, spatial design and enterprise software
