Product Owner

About the Job

The Secure Data Room Service (SDR) is a globally operated SaaS-based platform. The service is operated by providing highly secure virtual Data Rooms for Allianz Group entities worldwide. SDR enables confidential document exchange and collaboration for sensitive business processes. The service operates under strict regulatory requirements (BaFin/VAIT, DORA, BSI C5, GDPR) and serves VIP customer groups across the Allianz organization.

As Product Owner for SDR, you are the single point of accountability for the Service throughout its entire lifecycle.

You will be responsible for the full operational, technical, compliance, and strategic management of the SDR service, working closely with internal stakeholders, external suppliers and customers across Allianz Group.
