1. Product Strategy & Requirements
Requirements Gathering: Collaborate with stakeholders to translate high-level business goals into detailed, technical functional specifications.
Backlog Ownership: Groom and prioritize the product backlog. You are responsible for ensuring the development team always has clear, "ready-to-code" tickets.
Fintech Domain Logic: Apply your knowledge of financial services (payments, compliance, KYC, lending) to spot edge cases and logic gaps early in the discovery phase.
2. Execution & Delivery Management
Timeline & Roadmap Management: Create realistic delivery plans. You monitor velocity, manage scope creep, and ensure the team hits milestones.
Risk Management: Proactively identify blockers (technical or business) and resolve them before they impact the sprint.
Agile Rituals: Facilitate sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives (or partner closely with a Scrum Master) to ensure high team performance.
3. Stakeholder Collaboration
Bridge the Gap: Act as the translator between technical engineering teams and non-technical business stakeholders.
Client Engagement: Lead weekly status meetings and demos. You must be able to communicate bad news (delays/risks) as effectively as good news, maintaining trust through transparency.
Conflict Resolution: Navigate conflicting priorities between different departments and negotiate a path forward.
1. Experience & Domain Knowledge
5+ Years Hybrid Experience: Proven experience acting as both a Product Manager (defining features) and a
Project Manager (tracking delivery) in a software environment.
Fintech DNA: Strong background in Banking, Fintech, or Financial Services. You must be comfortable with complex data flows, regulatory requirements, and high-security standards.
2. Hard Skills
Documentation: Mastery of JIRA and Confluence. You write documentation that is so clear it leaves no room for ambiguity.
Roadmapping Tools: Experience with tools like Productboard, or simple Gantt/Timeline views in Jira.
English Fluency: Professional proficiency is non-negotiable. You must be persuasive and articulate in both written and spoken English.
3. Soft Skills
Assertive Communication: The ability to say "No" to stakeholders to protect the timeline, while offering alternative solutions.
Radical Ownership: You don't wait for someone to tell you a project is off-track; you spot it, flag it, and fix it.
Cultural Adaptability: Experience working with European (specifically Dutch) clients is a massive plus. You value directness, punctuality, and structured planning.
