Product Owner

About us

We're November Five. We’re makers. Doers, designers, strategists. Different backgrounds, one mindset. We say what we mean and do what we say. Passion walks in the door; expertise evolves over time.

‍Feedback is direct. We’re hard on the work but soft on the people behind it. As craftsmen and women across our core capabilities, our passion transcends our expertise, and the roles we assume are fluid. United in our drive to defy limits and move beyond, we collaborate deeply, always on the lookout for more allies.

About the job

At November Five, Product Owners are key system players in our delivery teams. You sit at the intersection of client goals, team capabilities, and business outcomes, and turn product strategy into predictable, high‑quality, measurably valuable delivery. You’ll often operate across multiple client products at once, each with its own context, stakeholders, and constraints.

As Product Owner, you focus on how we deliver: refining the roadmap into a clear backlog and sprint goals, shaping the way of working with the team, and using our AI‑enabled workflows to keep delivery fast, focused, and reliable.

You’ll collaborate closely with:

• Our delivery team of Product Designers, Architects, Growth-, QA- and other Engineers
• Client Director – who owns the client relationship and growth.
• Product Manager – who defines the vision and desired outcomes.

You will…

• Turn product vision and client objectives into a clear, realistic backlog, sprint goals, and release plan
• Write and refine user stories with clear outcomes and acceptance criteria
• Own and prioritise the backlog, making visible trade‑offs between value, risk, effort, timing, quality, and margin
• Lead and structure core delivery rituals (planning, stand‑ups, reviews, retrospectives) and keep the team aligned on the agreed way of working
• Use AI as a default part of your workflow to clarify requirements, challenge assumptions, spot risks, and keep delivery fast and focused
• Act as the day‑to‑day delivery contact for clients and internal stakeholders, keeping status, decisions, and risks transparent
• Build strong, trust‑based relationships with clients and stakeholders, and turn their feedback into concrete backlog and process improvements

Keep reading if you...

• Lead by example and help your team raise the bar in how they deliver
• Like to introduce structure and foster a sustainable, predictable pace of delivery
• Enjoy being close to clients and are comfortable having honest, transparent conversations about progress, risks, and trade‑offs
• Take ownership from start to finish and don’t need constant direction to move things forward
• Thrive under pressure and see intensity as fuel rather than stress.
• Care about quality and value, and know when to insist, when to negotiate, and when to simplify
• See constraints, deadlines and budgets as fuel for creativity – that’s why our clients choose us.
• Are passionate about descovering new ways to improve the craft, and are comfortable working in AI‑enabled tools and workflows
• Speak Dutch and English fluently.
• Experience as a Product Owner in a consultancy, agency, or multi‑client environment is a strong plus.
