Business Analyst / Product Owner

Do you want to be responsible for digital products that are actually used in the everyday lives of our road traffic offices and citizens? Do you enjoy working at the interface between subject matter, technology, and people – structured, pragmatic, and with an overview? And do you want to not only collect requirements but also shape, decide, and provide functional leadership to a team? – Then this position would be for you.

Your Role

As a Business Analyst & Product Owner, you are responsible for a functional domain surrounding Viacar V20 – the central specialist application with which five road traffic offices manage, for example, vehicles, owners, and driving licenses – as well as connected internet- and API-based applications.

You are part of our Delivery Team and work in a SAFe environment. In doing so, you provide functional leadership to a specialist team of employees from the road traffic offices (StVA) – without disciplinary responsibility – and manage the development teams of our partners in Switzerland and in Vietnam.

Your Tasks

• Shaping the domain and clarifying requirements: You define processes, rules, and the target image of your domain. You record requirements from the StVA, analyze dependencies and impacts (e.g., via data analysis, logs, interfaces), are responsible for the functional specifications (creation or acceptance) as well as the interfaces to third-party systems.
• Controlling product and backlog: You translate functional goals into a product roadmap and are responsible for the Product Backlog – prioritization according to benefit, economic efficiency, risk, and dependencies, as well as the functional design of features and user stories.
• Providing functional leadership to teams: You lead the specialist team of StVA employees. You manage the development teams of our partners (national and international) with clear requirements, joint planning, and progress control.
• Ensuring implementation and quality: You accompany conception, implementation, tests, and releases from the idea to productive use and ensure functional acceptance (Definition of Done, acceptance criteria). In doing so, you actively participate in SAFe events (PI Planning, Refinements, System Demos, Inspect & Adapt).
• Supporting operations: You contribute to the stable operation of the existing applications and are the first point of contact for all functional concerns in your domain.
• Engaging stakeholders: You create transparency regarding status, priorities, and decisions – towards StVA, management, and other stakeholders, and you organize and moderate workshops with customers and development partners.

What you bring with you

• Degree in Computer Science/ICT, Business Informatics, or Business Analysis (FH/Uni) or equivalent experience
• Several years of experience in business analysis and in product responsibility (e.g., as a Product Owner) for functionally complex applications
• Confident handling of agile methods as well as tools such as Jira and Confluence
• Basic technical understanding (e.g., APIs, data models, system landscapes) and initial experience in testing – you also test yourself)
• The ability to clearly structure complex functional and technical topics and communicate them understandably
• Strong stakeholder management: You balance expectations, create transparency, and lead teams functionally – even without a disciplinary line
• Very good German skills in speaking and writing, as well as good English skills

Advantageous

• Experience with SAFe as well as a certification such as SAFe POPM or IREB CPRE
• Experience from requirement gathering to productive introduction
• French language skills

What we offer you

• Meaning: Products with real social benefit
• Responsibility: Real product responsibility – you decide on priorities and shape your domain
• Environment: A stable, professional environment with clear processes and plenty of creative freedom
• Collaboration: With experienced specialists and development teams in Switzerland and in Vietnam
• Flexibility: Workload 80–100 %, modern way of working (hybrid, digital, pragmatic)
