About this role

About the Job

Infrastructure & Information Security (IF&S) delivers global shared services while continuously evolving its cloud, network, and security platforms. This role sits within Workplace Services, responsible for technical workplace solutions across the Allianz Group, with a core focus on the Global Print service.

Our goal: a fully digitized, integrated workplace that enables new ways of working worldwide. You will operate in a fully agile environment within cross-functional squads and chapter structures.

Global Print is a Global Shared Service that provides Allianz entities and branches with standardized and secure print, scan, and copy capabilities. Delivered by an external service provider using managed multifunction devices, the service covers secure print and scanning workflows, the full device lifecycle, and end-user support, with a strong focus on service quality, security, compliance, and cost efficiency.

What you do

- Define and own a clear product vision, strategy and roadmap for the global print solution (HP Advance Print) in Workplace Services, aligned to enterprise standardisation and cost-efficiency goals.
- Create, prioritise and maintain the product backlog, write clear user stories with acceptance criteria, order items to best achieve goals, represent stakeholder needs, and keep the backlog visible and delivery-ready. Ensure the team understands the items to the needed level.
- Engage global stakeholders, from senior executives to local IT and end-user representatives, to capture requirements and align expectations. Regularly communicate roadmap, progress and what the team will work on next. Link objectives to key results to show how the product contributes to organisational priorities.
- Manage the print vendor relationship (e.g. HP), including roadmap alignment, SLAs and commercial and service performance.
- Drive rollout, standardisation and continuous improvement of the global print estate across regions. Ensure product increments are delivered iteratively and in high quality, taking customer and stakeholder feedback into account.
- Act as primary decision-maker on product increments, making trade-offs across scope, cost, quality, security and end-user experience. Manage cross-functional dependencies between epics and user stories, and point out impediments with solutions.
- Monitor product performance against KPIs (adoption, cost, service quality, security and compliance) and act on the insights.
- Work closely with the agile squad (sprint planning, refinement, reviews) and with other product owners (e.g. monitoring, support, automation). Apply agile principles while using specific project management practices where needed. Align a joint implementation approach for Global print with other areas in Allianz Technology.
- Identify staffing demand to ramp up the Global print squad, define required skills and create job descriptions in alignment with the chapter leads.

What you bring

- Hands-on experience with printing solutions is essential — e.g. managed print services, secure/follow-me printing, and enterprise print platforms (HP Advance Print or equivalent).
- Proven experience as a Product Owner (or comparable product role), ideally in a global / enterprise IT environment. Solid technical understanding of print infrastructure and workplace IT.
- Relevant university degree or equivalent professional experience. Product Owner / agile certification (e.g. Scrum PO, SAFe PO/PM) is an advantage.
- Strong backlog and prioritisation discipline; comfortable balancing competing demands with a clear focus on value.
- Excellent stakeholder and vendor management skills. Excellent communication skills — able to operate confidently with senior executives and above, as well as with Product Owners and Project Managers.
- Global mindset with a focus on standardisation, scalability, cost efficiency, and lifecycle management. Business-fluent English is required (global operating environment); German is an advantage.
- Familiarity with AI technologies and GenAI platforms is a strong advantage.

What we offer

- We offer a hybrid work model which recognizes the value of striking a balance between in-person collaboration and remote working incl. up to 25 days per year working from abroad.
- We believe in rewarding performance and our compensation and benefits package includes a company bonus scheme, pension, employee shares program and multiple employee discounts (details vary by location).
- From career development and digital learning programs to international career mobility, we offer lifelong learning for our employees worldwide and an environment where innovation, delivery and empowerment are fostered.
- Flexible working, health and wellbeing offers (including healthcare and parental leave benefits) support to balance family and career and help our people return from career breaks with experience that nothing else can teach.
