Company Description
Are you the kind of person who sees chaos and envisions structure? Do you instinctively translate big ideas into bite-sized stories that teams can rally behind? Are you energized by turning complex needs into elegant solutions — and getting them shipped?
If terms like “epics,” “sprints,” and “value delivery” light you up, and you thrive at the intersection of strategy, user experience, and tech execution — read on.
We're looking for a Product Owner to take the reins on a brand-new role within JYSK’s Real Estate and Expansion team. You’ll be shaping the future of our digital tools, driving alignment across stakeholders, and helping to ensure that our software solutions are as scalable, smart, and efficient as our business.
This is your chance to leave your mark in a global company, working with skilled designers, developers, and decision-makers — all while building the foundations of a modern product practice.
Job Description
WHAT WE OFFER YOU
JYSK Real Estate and Expansion is responsible for ensuring that at least 150 new stores are added to the international JYSK network each year — all while keeping track of our 3,500+ existing stores and scouting for new countries that could benefit from a great Scandinavian offer in sleeping and living.
Sound interesting? This is your opportunity to shape not only the Real Estate IT landscape in one of Europe’s most successful retail companies, but also the role itself — in close collaboration with the Expansion Director, Real Estate.
On top of that, we offer:
- A flexible work-from-home policy that supports your work-life integration
- A strong commitment to work-life balance and a people-first culture
- A bright, modern workspace at our Head Office in Aarhus
- An open, collaborative work environment that values cross-functional teamwork
- Attractive staff benefits and exclusive discounts across the Lars Larsen Group
- A variety of social events throughout the year — from Friday bars and the DHL Relay to our legendary Winter Party
Qualifications
WHAT YOUR NEXT JOB WILL BE ABOUT
As Product Owner, your main responsibilities will include:
- Leading the transformation of multiple existing tools into a single, streamlined solution
- Acting as the anchor for all Real Estate-related IT projects
- Managing stakeholders — internal and external — with clarity and confidence
- Staying up to date with market trends and evaluating new tools and innovations in our space
- Planning and executing implementation projects from idea to delivery
WHAT YOU SHOULD BRING
We’re looking for a new colleague who:
- Has experience in a similar role, ideally within real estate, IT, or product management
- Is a strong communicator and stakeholder manager
- Thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
- Embraces uncertainty and change by excelling at prioritisation and focus
- Brings a positive attitude and connects with our JYSK values
