You'll work closely with sales and customers to understand the market, keep our portfolio competitive, and make sure our products support our growth strategy. Day to day, you'll serve as DENT's first Scrum Product Owner, turning that strategy into clear priorities for engineering.

Two Paths Into This Role Industry Expert:

You know energy metering, building automation or electrical equipment inside and out, and you're ready to move into product. We'll coach you on product management and Scrum.

Product Management Pro:

You've owned the strategy and roadmap for a technical B2B product, ideally as a Scrum Product Owner. You haven't worked in our industry, but you learn fast. We'll get you up to speed on our products and customers. Either way, we'll pay for your Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) training or a similar certification. Where you land in the pay range depends on the path you come from and the experience you bring. Someone who walks both paths may justify a salary above the posted range.

Who You Are Decisive:

You make the call with the information you have, and you can explain why.

Customer-Focused:

You'd rather pick up the phone than guess. You're comfortable on customer calls, building relationships with key accounts and asking for honest feedback.

Market-Minded:

You follow customers, competitors and market trends, and turn what you see into product decisions.

Technically Curious:

You can hold your own with engineers on hardware, firmware and software.

Clear Communicator:

Your requirements and business cases are easy to read and act on.
