Product Owner Security

GelderlandHybridHours negotiable<3months

An organization is Europe's leader in temporary security solutions, growing rapidly.

  • The vision is “Zero incidence, faster delivery - through connected site intelligence that protects by design.”
  • The organization combines ruggedized monitoring towers, sensors, access control solutions, intelligent edge devices, fleet management, and 24/7 remote monitoring into a connected system.
  • Construction and temporary sites are among the most dangerous work environments; the organization is building intelligence to catch security and safety threats before they become incidents.
  • This role will be end-to-end responsible for two product lines, which are PIR-based motion detection products.
  • These product lines are part of the sensing layer of the connected platform; the data they generate makes real-time threat detection, predictive insights, and cross-product integration possible.
  • The product lines already contribute significantly to sales and are expected to grow further. Plans are in place to expand the PIR sensor portfolio.
  • The role requires regular customer interaction, a strong commercial instinct, and an ability to prioritize.
  • You will work closely alongside peers, the Head of Physical Products & IoT, and the Head of Digital Products & Customer Experience to ensure seamless integration of physical and digital products.
  • This is not a maintenance role; the organization is scaling aggressively and needs someone who can handle the full scope from gathering and translating business requirements, to supporting and owning the commercial success of the product lines.

What you do

  • Set product strategy for your product lines.
  • Balance innovation with customer needs and sustaining engineering.
  • Drive success of product lines, define and lead development of succession products, and drive their commercial success.
  • Implement and manage the product P&Ls (revenue targets, margins, pricing strategy, business cases).
  • Build product lifecycle management processes with department lines and for your specific product lines (discovery, development, launch, optimization, end-of-life).
  • Partner with other Product Owners and leaders to ensure physical and digital products integrate seamlessly and deliver the full customer experience.
  • Drive new (physical) product launches across multiple countries.
  • Work with Product Marketing, Sales, Operations, and Engineering to get products to market and make them successful.
  • Push the team on modern practices, AI tools, process improvement, and creative problem-solving.

What they ask

  • High-growth experience (30%+ annual growth at meaningful scale).
  • Outstanding communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Ability to lead without direct-line authority across a matrix organization and stakeholder groups (Sales, Marketing, Engineering, Operations, Customers).
  • Deep customer focus; typically start discovery processes by spending time with customers understanding their challenges (e.g., through shadowing, on-site interviews, calls).
  • Commercial acumen and solid Product P&L understanding; know how to sell products internally and externally (customers) and are familiar with managing product profitability.
  • 4+ years as Product Manager / Owner, preferably with 2+ years of hardware / IoT exposure.
  • Know how to capture and translate business requirements into technical requirements.
  • Comfortable with agile & scrum, but not dogmatic.
  • Past international exposure and fluent in English (C1/C2-level); additional languages are a plus.

Profile

  • Positive energy and excitement about hard problems.
  • Bias for action over perfect plans, with attention to detail.
  • Focus on making the team better, not just getting your own work done.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and changing fast when needed.
  • Ready to go deep; this is a hands-on, high-ownership role.
