Role
Who you are
- Extensive experience as a Product Owner or Manager, developing solutions based on large datasets. Expertise in AI or ML-driven products is highly valued, though experience transforming unstructured data into actionable insights is equally relevant
- Proven success in managing products within B2B SaaS environments, especially in industries like automotive, machinery, defense, or aerospace
- Strong experience leading Agile teams through processes such as sprint planning, retrospectives, and continuous improvement
- Deep analytical abilities to assess product features, make data-driven decisions, and measure outcomes effectively
- Proficiency in conveying complex technical requirements to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, enabling you to build strong relationships across departments and facilitate cross-functional collaboration
- A forward-thinking, innovative mindset, always staying ahead of industry trends and pushing the envelope in AI product development
What the job involves
- As Senior Product Owner, you will drive the development and optimization of SPREAD’s AI-powered workflow automation tools
- You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to enhance the EI agents’ capabilities, focusing on automating engineering tasks, reducing manual effort, and increasing efficiency
- Shape and communicate a clear vision for SPREAD’s AI solutions, ensuring alignment with overall business goals and client needs
- Lead efforts to extract actionable intelligence from large datasets, transforming raw data into high-impact AI products that address real-world challenges
- Focus on developing high-value features based on data analysis, customer feedback, and market research, ensuring they deliver measurable results for both clients and the business
- Oversee the entire product development process—ideation through release—ensuring products are delivered on time, meet high-quality standards, and fulfill customer needs
- Incorporate customer insights and feedback into the product development process, ensuring that AI-driven solutions address pain points and enhance user experience
- Manage sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives, fostering an experimental, improvement-driven mindset within your team
- Serve as the primary link between technical teams, sales, marketing, and value management, ensuring alignment, clear communication, and shared expectations
Our take
The complexity of modern products, as well as the associated manufacturing processes, has increased over the past few decades. This growing complexity introduces three major challenges for engineers creating complex products. Firstly, the process is often inefficient, with engineers spending large amounts of time on non-productive things like coordination meetings. Secondly, information in this area is often difficult to find: engineers commonly spend around a quarter of their time searching for product information. Thirdly, creating cross-departmental understanding is often highly challenging. In short, things need to get better.
This is where SPREAD comes in. Their software streamlines the product design process at all stages, from giving access to part or component information to suggesting how a product can be assembled and even repaired. These high-level product insights are aimed at increasing efficiency in the design process.
SPREAD has generated a lot of interest with a customer base including major manufacturers such as Audi, Ford, Miele and Porsche. This has led to the startup raising a significant amount of funding which it intends to use for early product development and growth.
