Product Owner (f/m/d) – Business Management Platform / B2B Subscription & Licensing

Efficient processes, structured dataflow, and Customer & Partner Journey Success behind our software subscription products.

Zertificon develops IT security solutions “Made in Germany.” Our products protect the digital communication of companies – GDPR-compliant, reliable, and either on-premises or in the cloud. To ensure everything functions smoothly, both technically and commercially, we need clear business logic, scalable data models – and a central Business Management Platform that brings it all together.

That’s exactly why we are continuing to expand our own inhouse Operations Tool – as an interface to microservices, middleware, data warehouse, and system logic.

To further develop this platform as a central control tool for internal operations – with a focus on scalable processes and clear structures – we are looking for you as a Product Owner.

Your Tasks

• Shaping the platform: You’ll drive the further development of our inhouse Operations Tool – as the central frontend for internal workflows, configurations, and the control of our subscription and licensing logic.
• Translating requirements & making them actionable: You’ll take requirements from business and operations teams – e.g., around license management, internal processes, or monitoring – and translate them into solid technical concepts and requirement definitions (Epics, Stories, Mockups). You’ll work closely with Development and the Product Owner for our Customer & Partner Portal.
• Monitoring, automation & continuous improvement: You gather requirements on processes or operational triggers – and work with the team to develop solutions for automation, monitoring, and alerting. You use feedback from day-to-day operations to systematically and user-orientedly improve the platform.
• Backlog management & agile execution: You maintain a clean backlog, set priorities, moderate refinements, and ensure the reliable delivery of technical feat
• ures.Technical documentation & transparency: You create and maintain technical documentation of internal logic, data models, states, and handovers – working closely with Development and QA. You think in KPIs and ensure that the value and progress of the platform is visible to stakeholders.

What You Should Bring

• Experience as a PO: At least 3 years in a comparable role – ideally with a focus on internal systems, ERP logic, or subscription models in the B2B software world.Experience with classic ERP systems or physical product logic (e.g., SKU, RMA, logistics) does not automatically apply – we are specifically looking for experience with virtual products or softwaresubscriptions.
• System understanding & tech affinity: You understand technical concepts like data models, APIs, webhooks, middleware, or microservices – without having to develop them yourself. You can follow, describe, and apply these structures in a product context.
• Tool competence: You use Jira and Confluence to document requirements and create suitable mockups with Figma or Adobe XD.
• Process-oriented thinking: You think in terms of workflows, states, and handovers – and can structure complexity clearly.
• Language skills: You communicate confidently in either German or English (C1+), and should have at least B2+ in the other language.

Our offer

• Flexible working hours and home office possible
• Mobility: free Germany ticket, job bike leasing or car parking
• Allowances for food (e.g. Lieferando) and internet in the home office
• Benefits in the office: Roof terraces & green courtyard, organic fruit and drinks, parcel acceptance
• Get-together: pizza Friday in the office, regular team events, big summer party

Why Zertificon?

Zertificon stands for securing digital business. We develop trusted IT security solutions "Made in Germany" – built for businesses that value both protection and usability.

• Independent & committed: For over 20 years, we’ve built secure communication tools – as an owner-managed company with a clear stance
• Purpose-driven: We believe that digital communication must be secure and free. If you think Edward Snowden did the right thing as a whistleblower, we might just share the same values. As a sign of our support, we donate €1,000 to an organization that supports Edward Snowden for every new hire who mentions him in their application
• Hands-on excellence: We take on complex challenges because we can. Our in-house experts are top-tier – even external specialists often learn from us. When we want the best, we build it ourselves
• Agile by conviction: We think fast, act pragmatically, and improve continuously. No bloated processes, no “that’s just how it’s always been done.” Initiative is welcome – but of course, it will be challenged, and not every idea will make it through unchallenged
• Security that works: We build software that’s not only secure, but actually usable – not just for large enterprises with dedicated highly skilled IT teams, but also for small and mid-sized businesses that need strong security without the complexity
• Diverse & international: Our team of 120 people from 30+ countries shares one mission: making secure digital communication easily accessible to businesses of all sizes

If that resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you.
