Product Owner

As Product Owner, you will own the backlog and the day-to-day running of delivery for one of Wire's product scopes, and act as its key communicator, in partnership with the Product Manager. You will work in close tandem with your Product Manager, who owns the scope's vision, strategy and external representation, so that you can turn their direction into a well-ordered backlog and a smoothly run set of rituals.

What you'll do

• Own and prioritise the backlog, decide what enters each sprint, and define what "ready to build" and "done" mean for your scope.
• Write and maintain epics, user stories and acceptance criteria in Jira, and manage the link between the product roadmap and the delivery items that realise it.
• Lead the scope's rituals: refinement, sprint planning, demos and retrospectives, keeping the team unblocked and delivery status visible.
• Protect the agreed sprint scope from unplanned change, and coordinate dependencies across scopes and disciplines.
• Decide, together with your Product Manager, whether to ship with a non-critical bug or fix it first, and require clear problem statements and priorities from them in return.
• Run delivery as a force multiplier: use AI tooling to automate the mechanical parts of the role so your time goes to judgment, not busywork.
• Own the scope's agile and product culture: coach the team on ways of working, refinement quality and healthy rituals, and continuously improve how the team plans, estimates and ships.

What you'll need

• 5+ years in an Agile delivery role, as Product Owner, Scrum Master or similar.
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail: you can turn ambiguous priorities into clear, well-written epics, user stories and acceptance criteria.
• Confidence facilitating refinement, sprint planning, demos and retrospectives, and keeping a team's delivery status visible and legible.
• Good judgement on trade-offs, able to decide with a Product Manager whether to ship with a known issue or fix it first.
• Hands-on fluency with Jira, including Jira Product Discovery, and comfort coordinating dependencies across teams and disciplines.
• Technical fluency to work closely with developers, tech leads, designers and QA, and to protect a sprint's scope with credibility.

Nice to have

• Hands-on with AI tools in a delivery context (e.g. AI-assisted ticket writing, summarisation, reporting), and genuine curiosity to push how far tooling can automate the operational layer of the role.
• Experience moving from a Scrum Master role into Product Ownership.

What they offer

• VSOPs to participate in Wire's long-term success.
• 30 days of vacation entitlement.
• Urban Sports Club subscription.
• Annual education budget of €1,000 and access to learning resources.
• Remote work from anywhere in EU or hybrid from Berlin office.
• Fresh breakfast, daily fruits, snacks, and complimentary coffee in the office.
