Product Owner

About the project

At NATEK, we are looking for an experienced Product Owner to take ownership of a portfolio of key business-critical data, reporting, and financial products for our German banking client. This role combines product ownership, technical governance, stakeholder management, and operational oversight, ensuring products remain stable, secure, compliant, and aligned with business needs.

This is a highly technical position, with an approximate 80% technical and 20% business focus, making it an excellent opportunity for professionals who enjoy operating at the intersection of technology, data, and stakeholder management. You will work closely with business users, technical teams, vendors, and senior stakeholders to ensure the successful operation and continuous evolution of complex enterprise platforms, data ecosystems, and reporting solutions.

You will have daily interaction with German-speaking business and technical stakeholders, therefore strong verbal and written German skills are essential.
