About the job

You will:

·  Own the end-to-end product vision for the financial closing process supported by the Redwood platform
·  Optimise and continuously improve the closing process across automation, standardisation and harmonisation levers
·  Maintain and prioritise a clear, user-value-focused product backlog, aligned with business goals and finance product strategy
·  Act as a central orchestrator between the external Center of Excellence, internal IT teams, vendor and business stakeholders
·  Drive stakeholders’ discovery and engagements by guiding the team (internal and external) through agile practices
·  Monitor product performance and adoption, leveraging feedback and metrics to iterate
·  Contribute to the organisation’s agile/product maturity, acting as a model for cross-functional collaboration and outcome-based delivery

We’re hiring not only experience, but first of all - mindset. For this, you should:

·  Bring structure and clarity where it’s messy
·  Be energised by continuous improvement, not just delivery
·  Have humility to listen and the drive to lead when others hesitate
·  Be comfortable navigating bureaucracy but skilled at influencing change
·  Know how to work in product-mode but be pragmatic in traditional environments About you

We expect you to have: 

·  5+ years as a Product Owner, Product Manager or similar role in finance tech-enables environments
·  Strong ability to operate independently and influence without hierarchical authority
·  Experience in agile delivery, backlog management, stakeholder collaboration and product discovery
·  Exposure to finance processes or SAP environments is a plus, but not required
·  Excellent communicator, able to translate between business and tech and build trust across functions
·  Comfortable working in global organisations with remote teams, multiple time zones and complex stakeholders landscapes
·  Change-driven and resilient, able to push forward in complex, legacy environments
·  A collaborative, ownership-driven attitude— willing to go beyond the expected to drive success
·  Fluency in English (written and spoken) is required as English is the working language across teams, vendors and stakeholders About Danone
