Product Owner - Hardware Styles & Engine, R&D

Are you curious about hardware development of future hearing aids and eager to grow your adaptive leadership to support cross-disciplinary, international teams that build the next generation of hearing aid platforms?

If your answer is “Yes”, you should apply to join our highly skilled team dedicated to improving quality of life for people with hearing loss through innovative technology.

About the department

You will be part of the skilled Product Owner and Scrum Masters team in R&D, Hardware Styles & Engine in Demant A/S and part of the wider agile communities across Demant. As a team we grow product Ownership and Scrum Mastering to improve value delivery, improve flow while ensuring healthy team foundation and dynamics.

The people in the development team are highly educated and motivated experts in mechanics and acoustics and the scope is developing next generation hearing aids (behind the ear platforms) and updates of existing hearing aids in the Demant platform portfolio.

The Role

You will be Product Owner for an agile development team in an Agile Release Train (ART) working within the SAFe framework. Together with the team you will deliver complex, high-impact hardware for Demant’s next-generation hearing aids.

Your ability to focus on product value, usability, prioritizing the backlog and formulating concrete benefits for the end user and Demant are key for your success in your role.

You drive impactful outcomes in hardware development by growing your agile leadership and transformation skills. You collaborate closely with the Scrum Master to empower and inspire your team for increased delivery of value — while fostering psychological safety, well-being, and a sustainable workload.

The team has many technical stakeholders in different parts of the organization. You will help the team with stakeholder management and in structuring the communication flow to and from the team to optimize for clarity and efficiency.

Your main responsibilities

As Product Owner, your responsibility will be to enable the delivery of value from our product roadmap and business strategy in Demant. You can look forward to the following primary tasks:

1. Drive Value Delivery: Ensure the team’s roadmap and backlog are meaningful, prioritized, and focused on delivering maximum value to end users and the business.
2. Foster technical acumen, set Direction and Empower the Team: Clearly communicate goals and expected outcomes, enabling the development team to make informed decisions and take ownership of their work.
3. Foster Adaptive and Agile Leadership: Act as a trainer, facilitator, mentor, and coach—unlocking team potential, balancing well-being and workload, and nurturing a mindset open to change.
4. Champion Lean-Agile Practices: Use data and hypothesis-driven insights to guide decisions, apply SAFe principles, and encourage systems thinking for continuous improvement.
5. Facilitate Stakeholder Collaboration and Communication: Structure and manage communication flows with technical stakeholders, ensuring clarity, efficiency, and alignment across teams and the organization.

Could we be a match?

We are looking for a servant leader who can coach, guide, and facilitate highly skilled experts and help them reach their potential and deliver impactful solutions.

Good technical experience in one of the disciplines of mechanics or electroacoustics is a requirement in the position as well as your technical acumen to understand how the three disciplines supplement and complement each other in hearing aid platforms. Your curiosity and learning mindset will enable you to bridge business, technical, and transformation perspectives.

You are motivated by delivering valuable products and by using your Lean-Agile leadership to cultivate healthy, productive teams. You have an interest in technical skills and in learning about the product development process from early innovation to product implementation.

You balance promoting improvement with maintaining focus on critical deliveries.

On the personal side, you are a strong communicator—open, approachable, and curious about people, technology, and development processes.
