• Bring focus and urgency to execution whether that's scoping a firmware update or redefining a product release plan.
  
  
• Act as the voice of the product internally and externally clearly, confidently, and credibly.
  
  
• Use data, user research, and market analysis to inform decisions, not just instincts.
  
  
• Help define KPIs, measure product performance, and drive continuous improvement.

👤 What You Bring

• Comfortable challenging assumptions, aligning stakeholders, and saying no when needed.
  
  
• Strong understanding of manufacturing, supply chain, and operational constraints.
  
  
• Technical background (engineering, physics, industrial design, etc.) is a plus.
  
  
• Familiarity with professional user environments (e.g., R&D labs, workshops, manufacturing floors).
  
  
• Experience working with UX, QA, firmware, and software engineers in tandem.
  
  
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills in English (Dutch is a plus).
  
  

🔍 What Makes You a Good Fit

• You don't just ship features — you fix broken processes and unblock teams.

• You make decisions based on impact, not ego.
  
  
• You ask hard questions, challenge softly, and act quickly.
