Product Owner People Technology
**WHY WORK AT JOE & THE JUICE
**JOE & THE JUICE is a people-centric food and beverage company built around culture, not just juice, sandwiches, coffee, and much more. When joining us, you step into a high-energy community where the music is loud, the bar is your stage, and your personality matters as much as your skills.
We believe in four simple virtues that shape everything we do:
Positive Attitude
Inclusion
Social Ties
Growth
For us, this means that when you choose a cup-half-full mindset, welcome people from every background, build real friendships across the bar by creating great guest experiences, and use every shift as a chance to learn something new, you become more than just a Juicer; like us, you continue to search and find purpose and meaning in what you do.
From your first day, you’ll be part of an international network of Juicers who support each other, celebrate wins together, and push each other to grow. You will learn by doing, move through our Moneyball career path, our internal system that tracks your performance and fast-tracks you toward promotion, and be part of a company where most leaders have earned their stripes behind the bar (fun fact: over 75% of our employees started as Juicers!).
If you love fast-paced service, music, people, and the idea of turning a job into a lifestyle, JOE can become a place to build skills, friendships, and a career that can take you across cities, countries, and roles.
**Job Summary
**JOE runs on its people, and the systems behind them should be just as good. We're looking for a Product Owner to own People Technology - the platforms, integrations, and data that power People operations across every JOE market. You'll own the strategy, the portfolio, and the outcomes for the domain, working side by side with the Head of People Technology, who defines what the organisation needs and why - you own how it gets built. No direct reports, plenty of influence. The role reports to the VP of Product and is a full time role.
**Key Responsibilities
**
Own the People Technology vision, strategy, and roadmap, turning the People strategy into a sequenced portfolio of builds, integrations, and improvements
Decide what the domain invests in and in what order, making trade-offs explicit and defending them with senior stakeholders
Own the People data layer, making sure People data is accurately surfaced in Snowflake for workforce analytics and Finance reporting
Partner day to day with the Head of People Technology, translating their priorities into product decisions, integration architecture, and delivery outcomes
Lead discovery with the People team, HR administrators, and store and area managers, validating value before build capacity is committed
Keep HR system integrations reliable, auditable, and aligned with ITGC controls as part of our IPO readiness programme
Partner with Legal, Finance, and IT Security on GDPR, data residency, and audit requirements
Protect run-the-business capacity, reserving deliberate roadmap space for reliability and operational debt
Make reliability measurable through clear KPIs, monitoring, and observability that catch problems before the People team does
**Who You Are
**
Comfortable in ambiguity, defining scope as much as executing against it
Leads without authority - teams align because the direction is clear and compelling, not because of reporting lines
Holds themselves accountable to outcomes rather than outputs
Flies at the right altitude, moving between portfolio strategy and hands-on backlog work as the situation demands
Treats compliance as part of the design, not an afterthought
**What You'll Bring
**
Solid product management experience owning a domain or portfolio, not just a backlog
Hands-on experience with HRIS platforms, system integrations, and data flows
A track record of prioritising across competing initiatives and communicating trade-offs to leadership
Experience working in a matrix, delivering through engineering teams you do not manage
Familiarity with GDPR, ITGC, or other audit-driven environments is a strong plus
Experience in a scaling, multi-market organisation is an advantage
**Our Benefits
**We offer a benefits package that includes a paid pension plan, health insurance, parental leave, and additional vacation. Besides that, we provide some JOE-ified benefits:
Our global headquarters is conveniently located in the heart of beautiful Copenhagen, where over 200 friendly faces come together
Fantastic office facilities, including a fully staffed JOE & THE JUICE bar, where we serve delicious breakfast, daily lunch, refreshing juices, and top-notch barista coffee
At JOE, we embrace a flat hierarchy that values every opinion, creating a welcoming space for your ideas and suggestions to thrive
A lively monthly social calendar filled with fun activities like running club, wine tasting, creative evenings, and Friday bars - there's always something exciting happening
As part of our team, you'll have the opportunity to take on a BTC (Behind the Counter) shift in one of our bars twice a year, adding a unique touch to your experience
**APPLICATION DEADLINE
**Please submit your application no later than 25th of September 2026 . After the deadline, the position will be removed from our careers site, and we will begin the selection process.
