Product Owner
Location: Deventer, Netherlands
Department: Product Development
Hours: Full-time (32-40 hours)
The impact you will make as a Product Owner
You collaborate closely with diverse stakeholders to prioritise features and improvements. Based on value, you set priorities for your teams and ensure the most efficient distribution of work. You do this by building, together with other Product Owners, a shared vision and roadmap — for the product, our internal organisation, and our customers.
You continuously align with both internal and external stakeholders. You ensure customers are actively involved in new developments within your area of focus and encourage their contribution to implementation. For new initiatives, you involve customers early as subject-matter experts to create buy-in and move forward together. You also safeguard the technical relevance and currency of the software within your scope, ensuring solutions remain both functionally and technically future-proof.
Make a difference from day one
What you will do as a Product Owner
Together with banks, lenders, insurers, advisers, and financial service providers, we develop smart IT solutions within the Finance division. Our systems process financial data efficiently, present it clearly, and play a central role in our customers’ product development. Our strength lies in connecting different systems so that consumers and underwriters can view and manage all information in one place — delivering financial impact through IT across the sector.
You will join the Mortgages business line and work with our Force Product Suite (FPS) platform, which supports mortgage lenders in processing and assessing mortgage applications. By automating manual, error-prone processes, we make handling faster, more efficient, and more reliable. Consumers also benefit: they are informed quickly and accurately about their housing options.
Within the platform, your focus area is ensuring that consumers receive an appropriately priced offer as quickly and accurately as possible, so they know exactly under which conditions and at what cost they can realise their housing plans.
You work from a single product backlog within a focus area with three development teams distributed across Topicus Netherlands and Topicus Vietnam, with English as a working language in part.
