Product Owner - IT Infrastructure

Mission

The Product Owner is accountable for maximizing the value delivered by the IT Infrastructure platform across its full lifecycle (design, versioning, validation, and maintenance).

He/She ensures clear prioritization, structured backlog management, and alignment with business objectives.

The Product Owner acts as the key bridge between business and system-level needs (hardware, OS, virtualization, network, security) and technical teams, translating high-level requirements into clear, actionable inputs for implementation.

Challenges we trust you with

Vision & Value Ownership

• Own and communicate the IT infrastructure roadmap aligned with business goals
• Prioritize incoming demands (change requests, upgrades, compliance needs, technical debt, etc.) based on value, constraints, and stakeholder needs
• Measure delivered value in terms of stability, compliance, maintainability, and operational efficiency
• Maintain visibility on infrastructure baselines and supported configurations

Backlog Management

• Create, maintain, and prioritize a clear and structured backlog covering infrastructure evolution, validation, and documentation
• Define iteration scope and ensure readiness of work items (clear acceptance criteria, validation approach, impact analysis)
• Ensure deliverables meet agreed standards (Definition of Done, validation evidence, documentation completeness)

Stakeholder & Cross-Team Alignment

• Align stakeholders across R&D, System Engineering, Quality, Clinical and Operations
• Ensure system-level constraints are clearly understood and reflected in backlog prioritization and decisions (performance, compatibility, regulatory requirements)
• Ensure visibility and alignment on dependencies with other components (application software, hardware platforms, external suppliers, etc.)
• Ensure cross-component initiatives are properly reflected in the IT infrastructure backlog, prioritized, and tracked to delivery (e.g., platform upgrades, virtualization strategy, cybersecurity improvements, impacts from system-level features, etc.)
• Participate in the broader Product Owner community to ensure consistency

Team Collaboration & Execution

• Lead backlog refinement and replenishment sessions with a System Administrator team
• Clarify requirements and ensure shared understanding across disciplines
• Support execution and actively contribute to Agile ceremonies
• Facilitate decision-making on technical trade-offs (e.g., upgrade vs. maintain, standardization vs. flexibility)

What we value

• At least 5 years of experience in complex system environments (IT infrastructure, industrial systems, or regulated environments)
• Strong understanding of infrastructure domains: virtualization, OS lifecycle, networking, hardware platforms
• Good knowledge of Agile (Scrum, Kanban, Scrumban etc.) practices adapted to non-pure software environments
• Ability to interact effectively with technical teams (IT infrastructure, software, hardware)
• Experience with tools such as Jira, GitLab, Confluence (or equivalent)
• Fluent in English. French is a bonus.

And you also are:

• Excellent prioritization and decision-making skills, balancing technical and business constraints
• Strong ownership and accountability in a complex system environment
• Ability to simplify complex technical topics for diverse stakeholders
• Strong coordination and alignment capabilities across multiple teams
• Resilience and ability to operate in environments with constraints.

Additional Information

• Occasional travel in Europe (~once per quarter)
• Experience in regulated environments (e.g., medical devices) is a strong asset
• Experience with infrastructure automation (e.g., Ansible) or lab environments is a plus
