Job Description
We are looking for an experienced and capable technical product owner who has worked on systems integration and has ideally a virtual reality or simulation background to lead the development of a new product stream that will be transformational for the LearnPro Group.

We need someone who can hit the ground running to understand a complex area and rapidly develop and document the project requirements before working with various stakeholders to deliver outstanding results. Some of the requirements from this programme will be technical and nonfunctional so familiarity with systems integrations will be an advantage. Any experience in games development will also be helpful since our core system is a simulation system based on the Unity games engine.
You will need to run functional workshops to agree requirements with stakeholders then document and translate requirements to the level that development teams can understand. In addition you will create presentations wireframes and mocked screens as needed communicating with every part of the business and managing external suppliers. As such the successful candidate must be selfassured and able to challenge poor UX suggestions from all areas and levels of the organisation with the CTO and programme programme directors backing and support.

Skills and Experience:

5 years professional experience working as a product owner or product manager
Experience with analysing market opportunity competitive landscape and customer needs conducting research as necessary
Experience researching prototyping designing testing and building products (preferably web and simulation/games)
Must be commercially focused and collaborate well with crossbusiness stakeholders clients and development teams to execute the roadmap on time.
Technical understanding of integrations between systems (technical use of different API types sockets RPC calls)
Enough infrastructure knowledge to understand networking implications of chosen solutions
Ability to document complex systems in English
Ability to work out the best technical path from competing options
Supplier negotiation on requirements and design
The role will be hybrid with some time in our Delft office and some travel to suppliers and very occasional trips to the programme delivery location in Singapore. The LearnPro Groups working language is English but the main office is in The Netherlands so fluent Dutch is also a requirement.
