Vacant job

For one of our clients, we are looking for a Product Manager to take a leading role in an emerging product area focused on modernizing and digitalizing work in physical retail environments.

The ambition is to replace a large share of manual, store-based processes with modern web and handheld solutions that support store personnel in their daily operational tasks. This is a strategic initiative where you will play a key role in shaping direction from an early stage.

The role is part of a cross-functional product organization, working closely with Product Owners, developers, Tech Leads, enterprise architects, and business stakeholders. In addition to having a holistic Product Manager perspective for the area, you will also act hands-on as Product Owner for a smaller team, with responsibility for building a new employee-facing application.

The technical landscape includes multiple frontend solutions (mobile and web), primarily custom-built on Azure, with backends such as SAP S/4 and other master data systems.

Role & Responsibilities

You will lead a digital product ecosystem used daily by thousands of store employees, owning roadmap, vision, and delivery — from strategy to rollout and scale.

• Drive measurable business and operational outcomes related to store efficiency and staff enablement

• Own and prioritize a value-driven backlog together with architects, UX and tech leads

• Translate operational challenges into user-centric, scalable features across web and handheld solutions

• Represent the product area in PI planning, cross-team coordination, and dependency alignment within a SAFe setup

• Continuously improve product performance using data, user insights, and operational feedback

• Manage stakeholder communication and represent the product in steering and governance forums

Personality & Expectations

• Strong communicator, comfortable both in executive discussions and close to operational users

• Confident decision-maker with the ability to prioritize and stand by those decisions

• Strategic thinker with a clear outcome-driven delivery mindset

• Curious, pragmatic, and motivated by modernizing traditional workflows

• Fluent in English and Swedish

• Able to work from the client’s office in Solna for close collaboration

Required Experience

• 5+ years of experience as Product Manager, Product Owner, or Program Lead in enterprise environments

• Proven ability to create structure, value focus, and stakeholder alignment in ongoing initiatives

• Experience working with operational user groups (e.g. retail, logistics, workforce) and high-volume daily use cases

• Strong capability to manage dependencies, platform constraints, and architectural governance

• Experience leading delivery in multi-vendor and nearshore/offshore setups

• Excellent prioritization skills with the ability to translate needs into MVPs and phased rollouts

• Solid experience in scaled agile environments, preferably SAFe

• Bonus: experience from complex retail platforms (SAP S/4, CAR, POS, inventory)

Key Competencies

• Value quantification: anchoring priorities in business impact, efficiency, and cost

• Vendor orchestration: aligning internal teams and external development partners

• Change advisory: rollout strategies, onboarding, training, and adoption across distributed store networks

• Data-driven decision-making using insights, telemetry, and usage metrics

• Leadership without formal mandate across architecture, operations, and commercial stakeholders

Technical Experience (Preferred)

• Large-scale rollout of devices and applications (handhelds, store terminals, offline scenarios)

• Azure-based environments and Entra ID governance

• Integration-heavy landscapes (SAP S/4, CAR, POS, pricing, inventory, master data)

• Event-driven architectures (Kafka / EventHub) from a capability and flow perspective

• Store authentication models, role/permission hierarchies, and device lifecycle management

• Strong UX awareness for operational environments with varying digital maturity

Meriting Experience

• Background in large-scale modernization or retail digital transformation

• SAFe, Product Management, or Agile Leadership certifications

• Experience with enterprise design systems, reusable patterns, and omnichannel UX

• Broader understanding of CI/CD, DevOps, and release governance
