As a Product Owner, you will focus on the rollout and further development of the BALDR product across all Ahold Delhaize brands in Europe.

The BALDR product is the "EU cross brand joint European solution for FMCG eCom operations". It is a single logistics eCom solution for six different Ahold Delhaize brands spread across six countries. How cool is that?

Your new team and office. 
As a Senior Product Owner BALDR, you will work with the BALDR product management team to make the BALDR product developed by AH suitable for multi-country deployments and rollout across all EU brands. Your biggest challenge is to develop the BALDR product in such a way that it leads to the optimal solution in all countries while remaining one product with "One Code Base". You ensure that the rollout and further development of the product contribute to creating "Happy customers", which remains the main goal. Your focus is on the domains of Delivery, Order Management, and Finance.

You will work with Business Consultants, Architects, Business Analysts, Consultants from ERP vendors, the Product Owners of ten DEVOPS teams, and Subject Matter Experts from different countries. You have enough seniority to occasionally act as a sparring partner for senior management within the Ahold Delhaize organization.

You will work in a completely new organizational structure with a European focus, which is a new experience for all stakeholders and the product team. As a learning organization, flexibility, pragmatism, networking, a team mindset, and perseverance are essential to make this function a success in this environment.

In this role, you will work 40 hours per week, partly from the headquarters in Zaandam and partly from home. You will also regularly work abroad at one of the European brands.
We think it’s important to be part of a high-belonging team; a team where you can be yourself and feel safe, accepted and appreciated. For this job we are preferably looking for someone who brings diversity in our team, in the widest possible sense. Someone who is a great addition to our team by bringing other ideas to the table. Don’t check all the boxes? Don’t worry, we probably don’t either 😉. Don’t hesitate to apply if you think you are up for the challenge, we’re happy to have a look at your resume!
