As Product Owner Virtual Power Plant (VPP), you will be responsible for a chain of applications that drive our solar farms, wind farms and batteries. These applications are developed in-house. You translate Scholt Energy's ambitions in the areas of flexibility, forecasting and renewable energy into a clear product vision and roadmap. You will manage the teams working on the VPP chain and ensure that these applications are stable, continue to develop and optimally meet the needs of our Renewables & Flexibility department.
In addition, in consultation with our external development partners, you are ultimately responsible for two other business-critical applications: Soptim (our ETRM system for balancing in Germany and Austria) and Cerqlar (sourcing & GVO management). You guard the cohesion between these systems, make sharp choices in priorities and know how to bring structure to a complex environment with different stakeholders. With your technical affinity, you participate at a high level in design and development, while keeping business value and processes central. You stand firmly in your shoes, monitor the scrum working method and dare to say 'no' when necessary to move the product and the team forward. Thanks to your power of communication, you bring teams, stakeholders and international partners into your vision.
This position requires an experienced Product Owner with a strong background in complex IT environments. You are decisive, communicatively strong and know how to bring structure and direction to a dynamic environment with many stakeholders. With technical affinity and Agile/Scrum experience, you effectively steer product development, with knowledge of the energy market being a major plus.
