Within Business Technology we aim to be an enabler for other Rituals departments, by managing strategic projects related to our IT-landscape and underlying systems. In this specific role, you also play a crucial role in continuously improving our current P2P-systems and processes together with the business.

• Execute project plans for and together with the P2P business partners, including identifying objectives, milestones, and deliverables.
• Communicate project updates, progress, and challenges to stakeholders regularly.
• Lead and coordinate cross-functional teams, working together with solution architects and business analysts within the Business Technology team, to ensure alignment and timely delivery of projects.
• Manage project budgets, timelines, and resources effectively.

Product Manager Responsibilities:

• Act as the primary point of contact for P2P-related products, defining product vision, and developing a product roadmap together with the business.
• Collaborate with stakeholders, including business analysts and key users from the business, to gather and prioritize product requirements and manage the product backlog.
• Work closely with our development partner, architects, business analysts, and key-users from the business to ensure product features align with business objectives and user needs.
• Conduct product demonstrations, gather feedback, and iterate on product improvements.
• Make sure that our monitoring and support flow on the P2P-process is flawless so that the business does not experience any major issues in their processes.
