Product Owner – Registration & Domain Lifecycle
Every registration, renewal and transfer runs through one platform. You decide how it evolves.
Product Owner | Registration & Domain Lifecycle
Our client is a European, human-sized and firmly technology-driven, that operates one of the largest domain registries in the world in the public interest.
Its product is a lifecycle: a name is registered, renewed, transferred, suspended or released, millions of times over, through a network of accredited partners and under rules it does not set alone.
That platform is now being modernised, moving from a legacy core towards the next generation of registration services, without a single interruption to the service partners depend on daily.
To drive this, the organisation is looking for a Product Owner to set the vision, own the roadmap and make the trade-offs that come with a service nobody can afford to see go down.
The job
- Own the vision, roadmap and priorities of the registration platform and of the lifecycle capabilities built on top of it.
- Translate partner needs, operational realities and regulatory obligations into clear product direction, and make transparent trade-offs between value, urgency, risk and delivery capacity.
Role
- Define and maintain the roadmap across the core registration platform, registration APIs, domain-name lifecycle and data analytics capabilities.
- Own and structure the backlog, balancing immediate service improvements against modernisation, resilience, security and long-term sustainability.
- Give clear product direction to the Business Analysts, validate functional requirements and acceptance criteria, and own functional acceptance through to go/no-go release decisions.
- Work closely with Business Owners and with the engineering, architecture, service delivery, compliance and security teams to keep requirements understood, feasible and aligned.
- Track adoption, usability and service quality, and turn what the numbers show into roadmap and backlog decisions.
Profile
- University degree in computer science, engineering, business, information systems or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- At least seven years in technology-driven products or services, including substantial experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager.
- Familiarity with the domain-name ecosystem, EPP, WHOIS or RDAP and DNS provisioning is a clear advantage — but it is learnable quickly if you come from another transaction-intensive, partner-driven platform: telecom provisioning, payments, utilities or any regulated service with complex lifecycles.
- Excellent written and spoken English; knowledge of other European languages is an asset.
Offer
- Permanent contract based in Brussels, with hybrid working.
- Salary between €5,000 and €6,000 gross per month depending on experience.
- Personal company car, meal vouchers, comprehensive group and health insurance, and extra holidays.
- Extended learning programmes and a flexible environment built around work-life balance.
- Own the platform behind a service used across Europe, with a mandate rooted in the public interest.
- Drive a strategic modernisation programme from vision through to release.
- Join a dynamic, multicultural and human-sized team.
- Hold a cross-functional role across business, architecture, engineering, security and compliance.
