You will be assigned to one or multiple products and their value streams for product development. You will work with a small team of technology product owners to effectively negotiate, manage, and agree on demand in practice for these products. You will also manage the finance and operational governance, delivering agreed enhancement/changes.

You will be responsible for in-life technology management activities encompassing the E2E product architecture (including service, operations, etc.) related to the product roadmap, which is interlocked with the Cyber Security product manager.
