Product Owner

Forecasting only creates value when the business trusts it and acts on it - and that trust is built out in the operation, in conversations with the people planning volumes, routes, and staffing every day. We're strengthening our Forecasting team and looking for a Product Owner to own that bridge between the team and the business, and to help a talented group of specialists turn deep technical work into real operational impact. You'll own the what and the why - vision, roadmap, priorities, and value - working alongside a Tech Lead who owns the how. And as much as you'll shape the backlog, you'll shape the team: you're a natural coach who creates focus, clears the path, and helps skilled people grow their product and stakeholder instincts so they can do their best work. Join us The Technology Acceleration area within Group IT is responsible for establishing the future IT landscape - the foundation for PostNord's continued AI- and data-driven journey. In the Forecasting team you'll be the connective tissue between deep machine learning capability and the operational decisions it exists to support, across logistics domains such as volumes, routing, and staffing. Job duties Own and communicate a clear product vision and roadmap for forecasting - grounded in business value. Spend real time out in the operation: build relationships across logistics business units, understand how planning decisions are actually made, and bring that context back to the team. Be the trusted face of the team to the business - manage expectations, communicate progress and trade-offs honestly, and build demand and adoption for what forecasting can do. Translate operational challenges into a prioritised, well-shaped backlog the team can act on with confidence. Coach and support the team - create focus, remove obstacles, shield them from noise, and help colleagues develop their product thinking and stakeholder skills. Define what "good" looks like: connect forecasting work to decision quality, trust, and measurable business outcomes. Partner closely with the Tech Lead and Senior Data Scientists to balance ambition with what's realistically deliverable. Solid experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager, ideally for data, analytics, or other decision-support products. A proven coach and team builder - you lead through influence and clarity, and you bring the best out of skilled people without relying on authority. Strong stakeholder and relationship skills, and the energy and confidence to spend much of your time out in the business rather than behind a desk. The ability to translate fluently between business needs and technical reality, in both directions. Comfort with how data science and forecasting actually work - you don't need to build models, but you understand uncertainty, iteration, and why these products behave differently from standard software. Strong prioritisation and communication skills. Meritorious experience Background in logistics, supply chain, or operational planning. Experience owning analytics, ML, or forecasting products. Familiarity with Databricks and Azure environments. A track record of growing the product and delivery maturity of a technical team. Agile or lean delivery experience. Language requirement Fluent English in speech and writing. Because so much of this role is spent face to face with the Nordic business, proficiency in at least one Scandinavian language is strongly meritorious. Why this role matters Forecasting sits at the core of how PostNord plans and runs its network. The difference between a model and a measurable impact is adoption - and adoption is your job. You'll be the reason the business understands, trusts, and acts on what the team builds, and the reason a strong team keeps getting stronger. Your profile You're an experienced product person who leads through people. You get your energy from being out in the business, listening hard, and turning what you hear into clear direction. You're a coach at heart - you create focus and momentum, and you help others grow rather than doing everything yourself. You hold a firm line on priorities while keeping the team motivated and protected from distraction. You're pragmatic, trusted, and equally at home in an operational planning meeting and a technical refinement session. Most of all, you want to help build something stronger: a high-performing forecasting team whose work the whole organisation relies on.
