Do you want to be the link between business, users and an agile development team in a leading automotive company? Are you motivated by turning real business needs into smart, value-driven digital solutions that truly make a difference? In this role, you will influence priorities, collaborate closely with stakeholders and use feedback and data to ensure the product delivers maximum value over time.

 About the position

Perido is looking for a Product Owner on behalf of one of our clients, a leading automotive company, where you will play a key role in the development of digital engineering solutions within Product Issue Management. The office is based in Södertälje with the opportunity to work remotely two days a week.

 Your daily tasks

As Product Owner, you are responsible for maximising the value delivered by the agile team and for owning and managing the team backlog. You gather needs from the business and users and transform them into well-defined user stories and acceptance criteria, always balancing business value, risk, dependencies and technical considerations.

You collaborate closely with Product Managers, stakeholders, developers and other Product Owners to ensure alignment with the overall vision and roadmap. Stakeholder management is a key part of the role, where you explain product direction, anchor decisions and manage expectations in a complex organisational environment.

You actively participate in sprint planning, PI planning, iteration reviews, system demos and retrospectives, and you validate delivered functionality against business objectives. By following up on results, analysing user feedback and using data and KPIs, you continuously refine priorities to ensure maximum value for both the organisation and its users.

You enjoy working in close collaboration with agile teams and stakeholders, and you communicate clearly while navigating complex organisational contexts. With an analytical and structured mindset, you turn insights, data and feedback into well-founded decisions.

You are proactive, self-organised and motivated by continuous improvement, and you remain resilient in a dynamic environment. As a supportive and pragmatic leader, you help teams stay focused on what matters most and enable progress through trust, clarity and collaboration.
