CoopX
Position type
Full time
Due date
30 Jun 2022
Location
Universitetsgata 2, Oslo, Norge
Are you driven by the opportunity to transform strategies into products that scales?
Our mission, whether it's grabbing a yoghurt for a quick lunch, a fancy weekend dinner with friends, or groceries for the entire week is the same: in CoopX, we build digital products and services to make the shopping trip “worth it”.
As a Technical Product Manager in CoopX, you will be at the centre of delivering on this mission by fine-tuning the product management machinery. You will lead a cross-functional team covering one or more disciplines like Engineering, Design, or Data Science, and in partnership with them transform strategies into a product that scales. You will also oversee core elements to our technical teams, our end-to-end experience across services and partner with teams across the customer/user journey to ensure we deliver great user experiences.
More specifically, you will:
- Define ways of working and be our front runner of Product teams, ensuring that we are prioritizing the right products and services for our business and that these products are operationalized in a scalable manner
- Define the operating structure and processes for your team to implement and scale the product strategy in your domains
- Advise Product teams throughout the product development lifecycle on the business implications and global feasibility of the product portfolio
- Evaluate and decide with your team how to solve technical challenges that are the correct fit with our strategy, both short and long term, while maintaining a strong focus on delivering value fast
- Internalize and deeply understand Coop's growth strategy - and then align your team's mission and roadmap with this direction
- Assess and understand customer needs, business needs and constraints, as well as the competitive environments to make decisions that will grow our business and retain our loyal user base
- Execute. This means being constantly biased towards action, knowing the data, being in the details, setting a high bar and building strong collaborative relationships with other teams, thinking boldly, disambiguating, always thinking of the customer first, and rapidly iterating towards something demonstrably awesome
We believe this could be you:
- Ambitious - for your own contributions, for the people you work with, and for the products you work on
- Data-driven by nature: you get the data you need and know how to translate it to an insightful story
- You do not only settle for solving the problem, you always ask the important "why" before jumping into things
- You have experience with running experiments to assess the effectiveness of product improvements/changes
- You have stellar product taste and great technical instincts
- You are triggered by guiding and shaping an organisation on what it means to be a product organisation, and you have the grit and stamina to see it through
- You have high technical know-how, and will benefit from having done some coding yourself in the past
You will benefit from having the following:
- Have a strong background in modern product management delivering great, user-centred products and solutions and you have the scars to prove it
- Have a higher education at BSc/MSc level or similar, but particularly relevant work experience can compensate for this
- Are proficient in Norwegian and English, both written and spoken
What we can offer you:
- The chance to take part in build and shape tomorrow's shopping experience for over 2 million Norwegians
- Be part of an ambitious and diverse team with a startup mindset and, at the same time, backing from a large organization.
- A high degree of autonomy where it's up to you and your team to solve the problem ahead
- Excellent opportunities for personal and professional development (e.g., conferences, training, dedicated time to work on own projects/upskilling, etc.)
- Fresh office spaces in central Oslo at Rebel and our HQ in Grorud with a high degree of freedom and flexibility on working hours and location
- Competitive compensation package in addition to good pension and insurance schemes
- Other benefits like mobile phone and internet coverage, company cabins, and discounts in all Coop stores

Retail is changing. Our mission is to lead industry innovation through digital products and services for all our 2 million co-owners and even more customers, making groceries and shopping hassle-free - allowing you to spend time on more important matters.
Our deliveries vary from apps, websites and hardware/software to support our unmanned stores, to payment and e-commerce solutions. Data is at the centre of all we do and we are developing advanced analytics products for a wide range of proposes.
Since our beginnings in 2018, we've grown into a full-sized team of 30. We are engineers, data scientists, designers and product managers from a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures.

We're a part of Coop, Norway's second-largest consumer goods and retail operator. As a customer-owned organisation, we differ from our competitors and this is being reflected in our vision - it should pay off to choose Coop. More than 2 million Norwegians own Coop, and being a co-owner of Coop gives you the opportunity to influence and take part in the profits we create. We do not exist to make a few persons rich, but to create value for you and me, hence our vision. This does not only apply to our customers and co-owners, but also to suppliers, our employees and the society that we're all a part of.
