Product Owner - Edge Platform

Lely, founded in 1948, is committed to creating a sustainable, profitable, and enjoyable future in agriculture. Driven by the challenges farmers face and the needs of cows, we develop high-quality robots and data systems that improve animal welfare, flexibility, and productivity on dairy farms. Our mission is to support sustainable food production.

For more than 30 years, we have been a global leader in the sales and service of automated systems for successive generations of dairy farmers. Every day, we inspire our colleagues to provide customers with innovative solutions and to be a reliable partner for long-term advice and support. With our state-of-the-art Lely Campus in Maassluis and a worldwide network of dedicated Lely Centers offering tailored sales and service, Lely operates in more than fifty countries.

This is an exciting time to join our company. We are growing fast, launching new products, and scaling our technology landscape to support ambitious future growth.

We are looking for a Product Owner who can bridge engineering complexity and business value. Someone who can translate deep technical challenges into clear priorities, compelling roadmaps, and meaningful outcomes for both our customers and internal stakeholders.

As Product Owner for our Edge Platform team, you will own the roadmap for the operating system, core software components and fleet management software that power a newly launched hardware product, the Lely Hub. You will balance business value, operational excellence, security, and long-term platform scalability.

You will work closely with engineers, architects, and business stakeholders to ensure the platform remains reliable, scalable, and ready for future innovation. As the platform scales across our installed base, you will play a key role in building and operating a fleet of tens of thousands of managed edge devices, helping establish Lely as a global leader in edge computing for agriculture.

This is not a role for someone who simply manages a backlog. We are looking for someone who can create direction, drive alignment across stakeholders, and help the team navigate complex technical and business challenges.
