Product Owner – An International SaaS – Lucerne, Switzerland
(Key skills: Product Owner, SaaS Product Management, Contract Lifecycle Management, User Stories, Backlog Management, Scrum, Kanban, Cloud/Web Solutions, Stakeholder Management, Roadmap Planning, Compliance & Security, Product Release, UX & QA Collaboration)
Are you a skilled product professional with experience owning SaaS product modules, particularly in contract or agreement management? Do you enjoy translating customer, sales and support feedback into actionable roadmaps, prioritised user stories and polished releases? If so, this could be the next big move in your career.
We are working with an international SaaS company that is scaling its business operations and delivering cutting-edge governance, risk & compliance (GRC) or contract lifecycle management solutions. They are seeking a Product Owner to own their CLM offering end-to-end — from vision through to implementation and ongoing enhancement — ensuring the product meets market needs, regulatory requirements, and delivers value to clients.
In this role you will be responsible for gathering requirements from multiple sources including clients, consulting, support and sales. You’ll translate these into clear, actionable user stories and maintain and prioritise the product backlog. You will work closely with development, UX and QA teams to plan sprints, carry out refinements, lead feature implementation, and validate delivered functionality. You’ll plan product releases, update documentation and user guides where needed, and ensure that the product roadmap is aligned with business priorities; you will regularly update stakeholders across the business about progress, releases and future plans. Crucially, you’ll ensure that compliance, security and data protection concerns are embedded in all stages of development; and you’ll monitor trends in the market (CLM, GRC, BPM) to propose innovations and enhancements to maintain competitive edge.
Your ideal profile includes experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager in a software environment, ideally with exposure to contract management or equivalent domain. You should have strong ability to define clear requirements, balance priorities and trade-offs, and possess good technical understanding of cloud/web-based solutions. Solid experience with Agile frameworks (Scrum or Kanban), and comfort using tools like Jira, Azure DevOps or comparable platforms is essential. Experience or awareness of UX, QA or QA-automation is a plus. Strong stakeholder management, excellent communication skills in English (any other language skills are bonus), and familiarity with compliance, security or risk topics are advantageous.
You’ll be joining a company with a fast-growing product portfolio, offering a culture where innovation is encouraged, collaboration is routine, and impact is visible. The environment supports hybrid working from London, with flexible hours, opportunities for professional growth, and a team that values your input and ambition.
Location: Lucerne, Switzerland / Hybrid working
