Internship Product Owner

We are Nixon Digital, a creative startup located in Alkmaar. At Nixon, we have big goals and believe there is huge potential in the market. We are looking for talented people to join our team and help us take advantage of the opportunities ahead as we work towards growth. Our platform helps companies better manage their website portfolio, making us an important partner in ensuring privacy and security compliance. As a startup, we are constantly developing and improving everything we do.

What do we do?

We've developed a SaaS platform that helps companies manage their complex digital landscape. For instance, one of our clients initially thought they had 500 websites, but our platform uncovered 2,000. In addition to identifying these websites, our platform gives them control over privacy, security, and compliance. It scans websites and automatically assigns findings to the responsible owners, ensuring that enterprises like our clients stay compliant and avoid security risks or hefty fines. While we're a young startup, we're growing rapidly and continuously improving our platform to support our clients' digital maturity.

What are you going to do?

We're looking for someone excited to work in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. Our team is growing quickly, and our client base is expanding, so we're seeking talented individuals to join us. As an intern, you don't need five years of experience, but we do expect a "get things done" attitude and a strong willingness to learn.

As a Product Owner, you function as a bridge between customers with high demand and the teams responsible for incrementally delivering successful new features / releases of our product / platform. Working closely with the team, you will prioritize items off your backlog to maximize value for our clients. To ensure the team understands your decisions, it is critical to articulate your goals and vision every sprint and keep both the client and the team happy. You will work alongside our Scrum Master, Developers, and Designer. You will also learn how to create user stories. It is your responsibility to ensure that the ideas and thoughts of the Nixon founders are transformed into use-cases and roadmaps for the coming years.
