Velkommen til en stor koncern med internationalt udsyn 
Hos os bliver du en del af en større international koncern på flere end 2.000 medarbejdere. Du indgår i et af vores forretnings- og udviklingsteams, hvor du i samspil med fem kolleger er ansvarlig for produktudvikling inden for finansiel infrastruktur og i spændingsfeltet mellem forretning og IT.

Din base bliver på vores kontor på Christianshavn – og du får en stor kontaktflade til kolleger i hele Europa.   

Du er ansvarlig for produktets backlog 
Som Product Owner bliver du ansvarlig for produktområdet Custody & Tax inden for Post-Trade. Du får en rolle, hvor du samarbejder på tværs af alle afdelinger internt i Euronext og samtidig får du en bred kontaktflade til kunder og samarbejdspartnere.

Er det dig vi søger?
Vi forestiller os at du har et par års erfaring fra agile organisationer eller Product Owner-rollen. Branchen du kommer fra er ikke afgørende. Det er dit mindset og måde at gå til opgaverne til gengæld – og så er det en fordel, hvis du har en grundlæggende forståelse for finans.

Du forstår at begå dig på tværs af organisationen, og kommunikerer flydende på dansk og engelsk både i skrift og tale. Dit uddannelsesmæssige afsæt kan både være en cand.merc., HD indenfor finans, bankuddannelse eller lignende.
