Job Summary
In this role, you manage the backlog, prioritize user stories, and implement agile methods while closely collaborating with development and product management to drive innovative solutions in the Legal Tech field.
Your role in the team
- We are not looking for a manager, but for a Product Owner who acts as the link between product management and software development, transforming requirements into a clearly prioritized backlog and precise user stories, and repeatedly answering the crucial questions: What is being built, why, and in what order?
- Translation of technical requirements from product management into a clearly prioritized backlog as well as the creation of precise user stories with technical and functional acceptance criteria.
- Responsibility for backlog management, refinement, sprint planning, and releases, with clear prioritization for the team at all times.
- Transparent and comprehensible prioritization based on agile methods, including meetings to make even uncomfortable decisions.
- Role as an interface within the trio of Lead Developer, Product Management, and Product Owner, at eye level and as a translator between requirements and software development.
- Consideration of technical realities, especially legacy systems, technical debt, and their reduction in relation to feature development.
- Transition of AI and automation use cases from concept to actionable backlog items in a law firm where AI is already part of everyday work.
- Establishment of pragmatic working methods in a developing environment, focusing on demonstrating and coaching rather than pure moderation.
