Product Owner (English & Italiano)

About Us

Our client is building an infrastructure that will define the new era of corporate wellness. Backed by Itnig, the mission is to make it easy for SMEs to manage their employee benefits in a 100% centralized way, eliminating administrative and technological complexity. It is the trusted infrastructure for major industry leaders in Italy, and is now looking for new teammates to help bring this capability to more companies across different European countries.

To achieve this, we are looking for versatile professionals with a product-driven mindset and a desire to make an impact. We are a team of problem solvers, naturally curious, and with a strong growth culture where collaboration, the exchange of ideas, and joint evolution prevail.

The company is located in Bilbao and Barcelona, with partners in Italy, which is our largest current market.

Your Mission

We are not looking for someone to passively manage a backlog, but a proactive person who takes end-to-end product ownership and evolves alongside the project itself.

• Writing user stories and requirements: Translating functional needs into clear, structured user stories with well-defined acceptance criteria.

• Direct collaboration with Engineering: Working side-by-side with the development team in refinement sessions, sprint planning, and day-to-day query resolution.

• End-to-End Ownership and metrics: Overseeing the product lifecycle from initial discovery and idea generation to launch and adoption measurement.
