Who Are We?

At VIPS PMS, we have been developing innovative reservation software for the hospitality industry for over 25 years. Our solutions are used daily by hotels, B&Bs, holiday parks, and conference venues.

From the Netherlands, we have built a strong position, and with customers in multiple countries and ambitious growth plans across Europe, we are continuing to build the next generation of hospitality software.

We are ambitious, growing fast, and continuously innovating. At the same time, we value short communication lines, an informal atmosphere, and colleagues who enjoy working together. With us, you’ll have the freedom to take initiative, share ideas, and truly make an impact on the product our customers use every day.

Our software development department consists of an international Scrum team of Product Owners, Developers, Testers, Product Managers, and a Product Strategist. Together, we are building VIPS CloudPMS: the platform that enables hospitality businesses to organise their daily operations more efficiently, intelligently, and guest-focused.

We are looking for an enthusiastic Product Owner who wants to build the future of hospitality software with us.

What Will You Do?

As Product Owner at VIPS PMS, you’ll work closely with our Product and development team to turn product strategy into clear, practical work. The direction and frameworks are in place. Within those, we give you the freedom to figure out the best way forward.

You don’t need to be a developer. You do need to be curious about technology, comfortable talking to developers and willing to get into the details when needed.

You’ll be involved from idea to delivery. Your work will include:

  • Translate product priorities into clear requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria.
  • Help keep the backlog and roadmap up to date and aligned with the product direction.
  • Work closely with our developers to understand technical possibilities, dependencies and trade-offs.
  • Work with SaaS platforms, REST/JSON APIs and Azure-based technology.
  • Ask the right questions and turn unclear problems into practical solutions.
  • Make decisions and move things forward within the frameworks and priorities we have set.
  • Keep stakeholders informed and involved where needed.
  • Work in an Agile/Scrum way, together with the development team.
  • Follow work through to delivery and make sure what we build solves the problem we set out to solve.

A big part of the role is simply working together. You’ll be in regular contact with developers, product colleagues and other stakeholders. Our development team includes colleagues offshore, so being clear, approachable and proactive matters.

Good to know
.

What Do You Get From Us?

We’re a small, international and down-to-earth team. Things move quickly, priorities can change and not everything is figured out in advance. That’s part of the fun.

We help each other, keep things practical and get stuck in when something needs to be done.

You can expect:

  • A flexible and informal working environment.
  • A team where you can speak your mind and get things done.
  • Possibility to work partially from home or from our office in Nieuwegein
  • A modern workplace and laptop.
  • 24 vacation days.
  • A collective pension scheme and appropriate allowances.
  • A competitive salary of up to €4,500 gross per month
  • Daily lunch, fruit, snacks, coffee and tea.
  • Opportunities to learn and develop
  • Regular team drinks, outings and other activities.
Requirements
.

What Do We Get From You?

You don’t have to tick every box. We’re more interested in how you think and work than in a perfect CV.

You probably have:

  • Experience as a Product Owner, Business Analyst or in a similar role.
  • A genuine interest in technology and SaaS.
  • Some experience or understanding of REST APIs and JSON.
  • Experience working with Agile/Scrum teams.
  • The ability to turn ideas and problems into clear, workable solutions.
  • A creative and solution-oriented mindset.
  • Good analytical and communication skills.
  • The ability to work independently and make decisions within clear frameworks.
  • The confidence to work directly with developers and ask questions when you don’t understand something.
  • Good command of English. Dutch is a plus.
  • Affinity with hospitality and travel is a plus.
