Data & AI Product owner

Are you a Data & AI Product Owner passionate about shaping the future of data-driven solutions? Do you thrive in a consulting environment, guiding clients on their data journey across multiple cloud platforms?

If so, we want you to join our team at Devoteam.

The Role

As a Data & AI Product Owner, you'll be a key member of our Data Strategy team. You'll work closely with clients to understand their business challenges and translate them into a compelling vision and capabilities roadmap for data and AI products. You'll be the linchpin connecting business needs with technical solutions, ensuring that our data initiatives deliver real, tangible value.

The Product Owner, as a key member of the Data Strategy team, will typically collaborate closely with and receive direction from the Data Strategist. While the Data Strategist focuses on establishing high-level strategic objectives and overall priorities for data and AI initiatives, the Product Owner will translate these broad goals into concrete, actionable plans.

This involves defining specific capabilities needed to achieve the strategic vision, breaking down these capabilities into detailed user stories, and for example clearly outlining the "definition of done" for each. On a day-to-day basis, the Product Owner will then work directly with the development team, tracking the sprint cycle and increments, ensuring that the development aligns precisely with the defined capabilities and user stories, and ultimately delivering tangible value in support of the Data Strategist's overarching vision.
