Product Owner

At AGCO's Grain & Protein division we engineer and manufacture grain, seed processing and protein production equipment that nourishes a rapidly growing global population. We embarked on a transformation to increase customer-focus and to simplify/improve internal processes and technology support. Digitization efforts are part of the transformation.

We are looking for an impact-driven, self-motivated manager who takes ownership and leads the digitization of the journey from "capturing customer requirements” via “configuration" to "quote" of our Protein equipment businesses in Europe and Asia. As Product Owner, you will define what digital enablement is needed along the journey in form of user stories and collaborate closely with business and technical teams for user story refinements. You will prioritize these requirements in sprint backlogs to maximize business value and assure quality in the user story development process.

- Ensure quality of the digital enablement including not only the definition of ready and definition of done, but also the organization and preparation of product demos and user acceptance testing
