We encourage interdisciplinary teamwork and creativity to drive innovation. We believe in small teams responsible for a product's development and full lifecycle. At Media Distillery you will have a lot of freedom and responsibility.

Are you an experienced Product Owner ready to make a real impact in the Media & Entertainment Industry? Who sees how video services can be improved to be more engaging and give more value to the customer and the viewer? Who is interested in AI?

What you’ll do

As an experienced (2-5 years) Product Owner, you will join our product team (2 POs, 1 PM), led by the Head of Product. You will have a key position with our company, serving as the bridge between our (potential) customers, internal stakeholders, and your scrum team. Your main responsibility will be developing and scaling a product from MVP towards product-market fit, as well as maintaining and improving existing products. You will develop and share the product vision with your team and stakeholders, ensuring “your” product meets the needs of multiple customers and contributes to the company strategy.

Part of your focus will be inwards: motivating your scrum team members (Backend developers, Frontend developers, Product Success specialists and Machine Learning Engineers), managing the product backlog and prioritising activities on reaching business outcomes, communicating with internal stakeholders, brainstorming, and designing requirements with the team. However, an important part of your focus is externally focused: managing the product delivery for customers, meeting with existing and prospect customers, giving product demos, performing product and market research, and attending industry events.

Your scrum team focuses on new product development, therefore we are looking for a Product Owner who likes and is experienced with applied R&D, doing customer POCs, is flexible and thrives in uncertain environments.

In sum you will:

• Work in an agile environment in a small team

• Leading our products from MVP to scalable products that have Product/Market fit.

• Be an inspiration to the team, share your Product Vision and offer guidance

• Build products for large (international) clients in the entertainment industry

This role offers an exciting opportunity to be responsible for building our next ground breaking products and launching them with new and existing customers.
