Product Owner – Registration & Domain Lifecycle

Three boxes to tick: product ownership, partner-driven platforms, and modernising a legacy core without breaking the service.

Product Owner – Registration & Domain Lifecycle | Brussels

Our client is a European, technology-driven organisation that operates a registration platform its partners rely on every single day.

Its product is a lifecycle: a name is registered, renewed, transferred, suspended or released, millions of times over, through a network of accredited partners and under rules it does not set alone.

That platform is now being modernised, moving from a legacy core towards the next generation of registration services, without a single interruption to the service partners depend on.

To drive this, the organisation is looking for a Product Owner to own the vision, the roadmap and the backlog of this platform.

The job

Own the vision, roadmap and backlog of the registration platform and of the lifecycle capabilities built on top of it.
Translate partner needs, operational realities and regulatory obligations into clear product direction, and make transparent trade-offs between value, urgency, risk and delivery capacity.

Role

Define and maintain the roadmap across the core registration platform, registration APIs, domain-name lifecycle and data analytics capabilities.
Own and structure the backlog, balancing immediate service improvements against modernisation, resilience and long-term sustainability.
Give clear product direction to the Business Analysts, validate functional requirements and acceptance criteria, and own functional acceptance through to go/no-go release decisions.
Work closely with Business Owners and with the engineering, architecture, service delivery, compliance and security teams to keep requirements understood, feasible and aligned.
Track adoption, usability and service quality, and turn what the numbers show into roadmap decisions.

Profile

7+ years in technology-driven products or services, with real ownership as a Product Owner or Product Manager.
Domain-name ecosystem knowledge (EPP, WHOIS/RDAP, DNS) is a big plus; experience on regulated, partner-driven platforms — telecom, payments, utilities — works just as well.
You know how to modernise a legacy core without disrupting daily service.
Excellent written and spoken English.

Offer

Permanent contract based in Brussels.
Salary between €5,000 and €6,000 gross per month depending on experience.
Company car.
Two days of remote work per week.
Own the platform behind a service used across Europe.
Drive a strategic modernisation programme from vision through to release.
Join a dynamic, multicultural and technology-driven team.
Hold a cross-functional role across business, architecture, engineering, security and compliance.
