With Secure™ protects businesses all over the world from modern threats. We do this through a Co-security approach born from first-hand knowledge that no one can solve every cyber security problem alone. Every single day, our diverse, growing team fights against online extortion, threats to national infrastructure, the unlawful spread of sensitive information, and everything in-between. The best part about working for With Secure is our people! We are a community of dedicated and passionate professionals that take workplace happiness seriously. If you’re looking for something that’s more than just a job – we’d love to hear from you.
We are looking for an experienced Product Owner to join our Foundation Product Office.

Foundation is the R&D unit where common functionality for our flagship product Elements is developed. As a Product Owner, you will serve as the crucial link between our end customers, business stakeholders, and development teams. You will work closely with the development teams that are developing and maintaining the technical solutions for your domains. You will be the go-to expert on our product backlog, ensuring that the team's focus remains on the most impactful and valuable tasks that truly benefit our customers.

We believe that you can zoom out from the details to see the bigger picture. Splitting user stories before your morning coffee is just another day at the office for a seasoned Product Owner like yourself! You won’t be alone, though. You will collaborate with development teams, other Product Owners, Lead Architects, Lead Quality Engineers, and others. In other words, you'll get the best of both worlds - immersed in both the technical and business aspects of our products.

Proficiency in designing, implementing, and maintaining product roadmaps. Experience in integrations and data analysis.
Experience in building cloud and/or Saa S solutions. Knowing how to balance the need for modernization and new feature development.
