## Description

**Reports to:** Product Manager, Victor | **Location:** Hybrid (Ghent, Belgium) | **Employment type:** Payroll

**EV Charging should be simple. The complex technology behind it? That is where we come in.**

At Optimile, we build smart software that powers the world of electric mobility. Our platforms help Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and Mobility Service Providers (MSPs) connect, manage and scale their charging services across Europe.

We are growing, our ambitions are big and so is the impact of our technology.

That is why we are looking for a **Product Owner – Roaming** who is ready to take ownership, connect the dots and turn complex challenges into smart solutions.

**Your role**

Ever wondered how EV drivers can charge across different networks with just one charging card or app? That’s roaming. And behind that seamless experience is a whole lot of clever technology.

As Product Owner of our Roaming Squad, you’ll help make that magic happen.

You’ll take ownership of a product area that connects charging networks and mobility providers across Europe. From exploring customer needs and untangling technical challenges to bringing smart, scalable solutions to life.

You won’t be doing it alone. You’ll work side by side with your squad of engineers, QA, designer and Tech Lead, turning ideas into features that make a real difference.

**What you’ll do**

-   **Own it**. Take charge of your product roadmap, from the first idea tot go-live.
-   **Connect the dots.** Turn customer needs, business opportunities and technical challenges into clear product requirements.
-   **Build together.** Work closely with your squad to design, develop and deliver great software.
-   **Make smart choices.** Prioritize what matters most, balancing customer value, business impact and technical feasibility.
-   **Keep things connected.** Drive improvements in roaming integrations, interoperability and data exchange between charging networks.

-   **Listen & learn.** Team up with support and account management to understand what customers really need.
-   **Let data guide you.** Use product insights and customer feedback to continuously improve.
-   **Stay curious.** Keep an eye on what is happening in e-mobility and bring fresh ideas to the table.

**What we are looking for**

You love solving problems, connecting people and technology and turning complexity into clarity. You don’t just manage a backlog. You challenge, prioritize and take ownership.

Sounds like you? Even better if you bring:

-   3+ years of experience as a Product Owner in a SaaS or Software environment. 
-   Strong technical mindset. API’s, integrations and data structures don’t scare you. They spark your curiosity.
-   A hands-on approach to analysis. You are comfortable writing specs, mapping flows and figuring things out together with your squad.
-   Experience working in Agile/ Scrum teams. 
-   A talent for prioritization, stakeholder management and keeping everyone aligned.
-   Strong analytical thinking and communication skills. 
-   Fluent English and Dutch, proficiency in French is a nice bonus.  
-   Experience in EV roaming, OCPI or e-mobility? Awesome, but definitely not a dealbreaker

Most importantly, you’re someone who takes initiative, asks the right questions and gets things moving.

**Why Optimile**

Because at Optimile, you’re not just managing a product. You’re helping shape how Europe charges.

-   **Make an impact.**
-   **Own your space.** Get the freedom and trust to make decisions and drive your product forward.
-   **Build with great people.** Join a talented, multidisciplinary team that loves solving challenges together.
-   **Keep growing.** Learn, experiment and develop your expertise in a fast-evolving industry.
-   **Enjoy the flexibility.** Hybrid working, a modern office in Ghent and a team that values collaboration.
-   **Be part of something bigger.** Join a growing tech company, backed by DKV Mobility Group, that is accelerating the transition to sustainable mobility.

**Ready to connect the dots?** Love great software, complex challenges and making things happen? Than you might be exactly who we are looking for. Let’s connect and build the future of EV roaming together.
