Makers, designers, strategists. Different backgrounds, one mindset. We say what we mean and do what we say. Passion walks in; expertise grows.\nFeedback is direct. We’re hard on the facts, but kind on the people. We wear more than one hat, and we’re proud of it. We collaborate hard and we’re always looking for more people like us.\nWe’ve also built things of our own. Appmiral, Spencer, Gorilla, Wovian. Four ventures born inside November Five. When the right idea meets the right people, we build it. That’s not a side note. It’s part of who we are.\nAbout the job\nNote: We're not actively filling this role right now. But great people don't show up on command. And we know that. So if this description gets you excited, we want to hear from you. We want to be transparent about where we stand and when we're hiring. But we don't let a strong match pass by. If your profile fits, expect to hear from us. Spotted another role at November Five that sparks your curiosity? Go for it.\nAt November Five, Product Owners are key system players in our delivery teams. You sit at the intersection of client goals, team capabilities, and business outcomes, and turn product strategy into predictable, high-quality, measurably valuable delivery.\nThis is an agency role, not an in-house one. You'll often own delivery across several client products simultaneously, each with its own context, stakeholders, and constraints. The products you'll work on are real, user-facing digital products, typically mobile and customer-experience products shipping to large audiences for enterprise clients. Being close to clients, having honest conversations about progress and trade-offs, and earning their trust is the core of the job, not a side activity.\nAs Product Owner, you focus on how we deliver: refining the roadmap into a clear backlog and sprint goals, shaping the way of working with the team, and using our AI-enabled workflows to keep delivery fast, focused, and reliable. You'll collaborate closely with:\nOur delivery team of Product Designers, Architects, Growth, QA, and other Engineers\nThe Client Director who owns the client relationship and growth\nThe Product Manager who defines the vision and desired outcomes\n\nYou will…\nAct as the day-to-day delivery owner for one or more client digital products, keeping status, decisions, and risks transparent\nTurn product vision and client objectives into a clear, realistic backlog, sprint goals, and release plan\nWrite and refine user stories with clear outcomes and acceptance criteria\nOwn and prioritise the backlog, making visible trade-offs between value, risk, effort, timing, quality, and margin\nLead and structure core delivery rituals (planning, stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives) and keep the team aligned on the agreed way of working\nUse AI as a default part of your workflow to clarify requirements, challenge assumptions, spot risks, and keep delivery fast and focused\nBuild strong, trust-based relationships with clients and stakeholders, and turn their feedback into concrete backlog and process improvements\nRequirements\nKeep reading if you...\nHave 5-8 years of experience as a Product Owner, with a clear track record of owning at least one or two digital products from backlog to release, not just facilitating Scrum ceremonies\nHave direct experience managing clients or customers, ideally in an agency, consultancy, or multi-client environment, including honest conversations about scope, progress, risks, and trade-offs\nBring hands-on exposure to building customer-facing digital products: mobile or front-end apps, or platforms like a CMS or e-commerce system. So you understand what it takes to ship and iterate on something real users touch\nHave experience with customer-experience (CX) products, where the quality of the end-user experience is the point\nTake ownership from start to finish and don't need constant direction to move things forward\nCare about quality and value, and know when to insist, when to negotiate, and when to simplify\nAre comfortable working in AI-enabled tools and workflows, and curious about new ways to improve the craft\nSpeak Dutch and English fluently\nYou'll thrive here if you…\nLead by example and help your team raise the bar in how they deliver\nLike to introduce structure and foster a sustainable, predictable pace of delivery\nEnjoy being close to clients and are comfortable having transparent conversations about progress, risks, and trade-offs\nThrive under pressure and see intensity as fuel rather than stress\nSee constraints, deadlines, and budgets as fuel for creativity. That's why our clients choose us\nBenefits\nHow you grow here\nWe use our Impact x Growth x Reward (IGR) framework, to make progression clear and evidence-based. Your growth is tied to the impact you create: on clients, on the work, on the team around you.\nN5 is also a place where ideas become ventures. Four businesses have been built here already. If you’re working on something, we don’t ask you to leave it at the door.\nWhy join us?\nBecause the work matters. And so do our people.\nShip real products for Coca-Cola, Le Pain Quotidien, Telenet, and others.\nWork with people who will tell you when something isn’t good enough. They mean it as a compliment.\nBuild the design culture, don’t inherit someone else’s.\nStay close to the craft while growing the team around you.\nA benefits package built around trust: mobility budget or company car, smartphone budget, mobile subscription, MacBook, pension plan, hospitalization insurance, net expenses, meal vouchers, 12 additional holidays and shared rewards.\nWork from our Antwerp HQ.
