The Role

We are now hiring for a specialist in Product Management within our Delivery Department for Life Science,  based in Copenhagen. As a mid-weight member of the team, you are self-sufficient in managing the lifecycle of products and working clients to help them achieve highly.

Your job would be to help our clients create better commercial outcomes through their digital solutions. You will do this by determining what the right thing to build is and seeing that vision through to delivery.  

Your core client responsibilities will be:

• Define clear product strategies:  Understand why the product should exist through a value-based approach and align the entire team on this. Iterate when necessary.
• Create and manage healthy roadmaps: Lead a cross-discipline discovery process to build a roadmap based on solving problems. Validate solutions with evidence.

You’ll do this by:

• Gathering intelligence from the business, user and technology to inform an understanding of today and aspirations for the future
• Framing problems to understand what the team is trying to achieve (and what they're not)
• Building and successfully communicating a healthy roadmap of what to achieve and when
• Drive the generation of ideas for potential solutions with a cross-functional expert team of strategists, designers and solution architects
• Coordinate and support tests to validate ideas against commercial, design and technology criteria for assessing their suitability
• Anticipating changes in user needs; adapting the product and creating potential product retirement and transitioning plans. 
• Manage the full product lifecycle to ensure that, over time, the needs of the product’s users continue to be met and that financial and other KPIs are achieved for the product.

As well as delivering product management on behalf of our clients, you'll naturally get involved in helping our clients understand how to do product management successfully. 

Your Profile

Product management requires a foundational and unique mindset. You are:

·       Trusting: you let others get on with work in their area of expertise and step in only when needed.

·       Articulate: you are able to manage diverse stakeholders, lead a constructive debate, and see both sides of an argument.

·       Visionary: you act as the leader of an idea and can rally people. You’re focused on the long-term and the big picture.

·       Structured: you maintain a critical view on processes and are ready to define new ways of working and refine existing ones.

·       Curious: you solve problems using evidence, so you get to the right answer quickly. You question the status quo but leave your ego at the door.

·       Driven: you’re a self-starter who drives their own workload and takes the initiative to challenge themselves and others.
