Senior Product Owner - Clearfacts
Job Description
Ready to shape the future of accounting software used by thousands of SMEs?
For Clearfacts we are looking for an experienced client-facing Senior Product Owner to join our ambitious team in Berchem!
About Wolters Kluwer & Clearfacts
Wolters Kluwer is a global leader in professional information, software solutions, and services. Within our Tax & Accounting division, Clearfacts stands out as a fast-growing SaaS platform transforming the accounting landscape in the Benelux.
Clearfacts is a leading pre-accounting platform, already supporting more than 1,000 accountants and over 200,000 SMEs. We bring the efficiency and innovation of modern SaaS into a traditionally complex domain, combining a start-up mindset with the stability and resources of a global organization.
You will join a dynamic product team with a strong entrepreneurial spirit, short feedback loops, and direct access to customers, where ideas quickly turn into real product impact.
About the Role
As a Senior Product Owner at Clearfacts, you will take full ownership of a functional scope of our platform, including SME-facing functionality, our mobile app, and a brand-new financial accounting module.
You will operate at the heart of product development, bridging customer needs, business goals, and technical execution, while working closely with a dedicated development team and a wide range of stakeholders.
This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role where your ideas can go live in production within months and directly shape the experience of thousands of users.
What You Will Do
Define and maintain your product roadmap, aligned with the broader product and business strategy
Engage directly with customers through interviews, workshops, and feedback sessions to uncover needs and validate solutions
Translate complex accounting processes into simple, intuitive user experiences
Own and prioritize the product backlog, balancing new features with continuous improvements
Design features and write clear functional specifications for developers
Work closely with your development team in an Agile (Scrum) environment to deliver high-quality releases
Collaborate with internal stakeholders (Customer Success, Support, Marketing) to ensure successful product adoption
Define KPIs and monitor post-launch performance, using data and feedback to drive improvements
Coordinate go-live strategies and ensure successful releases
Contribute to the long-term product vision and strategic planning
What Makes You a Great Fit
You have 3+ years of experience as a Product Owner (or similar role) in a B2B SaaS environment
You are experienced in Agile/Scrum methodologies and know how to drive delivery in iterative cycles
You excel at understanding customer problems and translating them into structured solutions
You are a proactive communicator, comfortable interacting with both technical and business stakeholders
You take ownership and actively seek feedback, both internally and from customers
You can simplify complex concepts into user-friendly solutions, ideally within complex domains
You have a strong UX mindset, focusing on usability, clarity, and consistency
You are data-driven and use insights to guide product decisions
You are motivated to learn (or already experienced in) the accounting/fintech domain
You are fluent in English, as well as in Dutch/French for client interaction
Why This Role Stands Out
High autonomy & real impact: You own your scope and directly influence the product roadmap and user experience
Innovation in a traditional sector: Help modernize accounting with cutting-edge SaaS solutions
Start-up vibe, corporate strength: Fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment backed by Wolters Kluwer
Direct customer feedback loops: Weekly interactions with users to validate ideas and improve outcomes
What We Offer
A full-time, permanent position
A hybrid working model with 2 days per week on-site (Berchem)
A collaborative setup within a product team of experienced Product Owners and developers
The opportunity to work on high-impact, innovative SaaS products
Continuous learning and growth opportunities, including domain expertise in fintech and product leadership
A role with clear ownership, visibility, and career progression potential
