Gesloten vacatures developer Amersfoort

Location: Hilversum, Netherlands – Hybrid (2/3 days a week onsite)

Langauge requirment: Must be fluent Dutch and excellent command of English

Our client is a large, nationally operating organisation delivering essential public-facing services across multiple regions. The business operates within a complex, operationally critical environment and plays a key role in supporting infrastructure relied upon daily by millions of end users.

Backed by an international group, the organisation is undergoing ongoing digital and operational transformation, with a strong focus on modernisation, sustainability, and long-term service continuity.

This is an opportunity to work in a highly visible environment where technology directly supports large-scale, real-world operations.

An experienced Product Owner is required to lead the prioritisation, coordination, and delivery of software solutions within an operational and payment-related systems domain.

The environment is supplier-led rather than developer-led, meaning systems are delivered and maintained primarily through external vendors. The role focuses on aligning stakeholders, managing backlogs, translating business priorities into clear requirements, and ensuring stability across business-critical platforms.

This position sits at the intersection of operations, technology, and commercial oversight.

• Own and prioritise one or more product backlogs based on business value and operational impact.

• Translate organisational objectives into structured requirements for external suppliers.

• Coordinate multiple vendors operating within a shared systems landscape.

• Align operational teams, management, and technical partners around delivery priorities.

• Support agile ways of working within a supplier-managed environment.

• Oversee releases, changes, incidents, and lifecycle management to ensure continuity.

• Provide clear reporting on progress, risks, and outcomes.

• Maintain documentation across product and delivery processes.

• Contribute to knowledge sharing and team development.

• Demonstrated experience as a Product Owner in complex operational environments.

• Experience working with external vendors or outsourced delivery models.

• Strong stakeholder management across operational and senior leadership levels.

• Ability to translate business and operational needs into structured technical requirements.

• Experience managing incidents, system maintenance, and change processes.

• Comfortable handling multiple concurrent backlogs or domains.

• Exposure to regulated, infrastructure-heavy, or operationally critical sectors is advantageous.

• Confident communicator with strong stakeholder engagement skills.

• Structured, analytical, and pragmatic.

• Comfortable challenging priorities when necessary.

• Able to operate effectively in environments balancing agile delivery with traditional governance.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

• Analytical and problem-solving capability.

• Fluency in Dutch and professional English required.
