What you will do

As Technical Product Owner, you will act as the link between business needs, product strategy and technical execution. You will own the technical specification and development direction of assigned product areas and ensure alignment between customer value, technical feasibility and long-term business goals.

Key responsibilities include:

• Define, maintain and continuously improve technical product specifications and architecture.

• Strengthen collaboration between R&D, Operations, Manufacturing, Service and Commercial teams.

As part of the role, you will also act as Equipment & Food Safety Officer, ensuring compliance with relevant safety, hygienic design, food safety and regulatory requirements throughout the product lifecycle.
