About ChargeNetChargeNet is on a mission to accelerate the transition to sustainable transportation by building a comprehensive network of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across New Zealand and by supplying and building market leading products and service offerings that make charging accessible to EV owners.
We built the first nationwide network, we developed the software to run it and ensure everyone who is ready to drive an EV can do it, where they want and when they want. It’s time to eliminate range anxiety and make electric vehicle adoption convenient and accessible for all New Zealanders.
About the RoleYou'll independently lead product ownership across two development squads and interact with B2C and B2B customers, industry partners and internal users and stakeholders. You'll take the product propositions the business sets and turn them into delivered outcomes: owning the backlog, writing detailed user stories and acceptance criteria, running agile ceremonies and working shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering daily whilst always being on top of the user experience and their needs.
As a tech savvy product owner, you fully understand all the moving parts of the ecosystem. From the at-site charging experience, to the charging process and it’s challenges, through to taking a payment from the customer and business reporting.
