Product Owner

Nortal brings together people who want to change the world little by little. Now we are looking for a Product owner with whom we can go faster, higher, and further than before. 

 
As a multinational strategic change and technology company, our origin and HQ are still in Estonia. We bring together world-class strategic consulting, software engineering, data, and design practices to create a meaningful impact for our customers. Having been digitalizing and transforming the public sector, healthcare, and business organizations for decades, we have just crossed the landmark of 2000+ employees globally. Nevertheless, we are just getting started!   

At Nortal, Product Owners are specialists in their own areas, taking responsibility for a wide range of solutions that help us every step of the way, whether end users be while paying taxes, making bank transfers, visiting the doctor, or simply answering a phone call. Product owners understand business, technology as well as people, and you would, through your competence and energy, be an example for us. In return, we will help you to achieve your goals through continuous professional development and regular career progression sessions.
