Product Owner - Digital Identity (edu-ID) (100% - all identities and backgrounds)

With around 180 employees, Switch supports Switzerland's universities, research institutions, and critical infrastructure organizations on their way to a secure and trustworthy digital age. With innovative IT services, secure infrastructures, expert advice, and the networking of relevant specialist communities, we help our customers effectively and efficiently use the opportunities offered by digitization. To strengthen our team, we are now looking for a Product Owner with strong product management responsibility who shares this mindset: - Do you believe products should exist to create real value, not just features? - Do you get energy from turning complexity into clarity and shaping vision into outcomes that matter? - Do you see the Product Owner role not as backlog administration, but as stewardship of impact, guiding teams to build the right things, for the right reasons? If that sounds like you, then please come and help us! **Qualifications:** - Proven experience as a Product Owner / Product Manager, with a strong track record of delivering user and business value for external-facing products and successfully scaling them. - Strong grasp of digital business models, pricing, and financial management. - Ability to set direction under uncertainty and unite stakeholders around it. - Confidence to make transparent, data-driven decisions, while adapting quickly when evidence changes. - Clear, compelling communicator, skilled at creating focus and alignment. - Collaborative mindset: you know when to lead, influence, and listen. - Curiosity, openness to feedback, and resilience from hands-on delivery. *(Nice to have: knowledge of identity technologies such as SAML or OIDC or related fields.)*
