Product Owner - Shape the Future of Industrial Ice Cream Filling

At Gram Equipment, we develop the technology behind ice cream products enjoyed by people around the world.

As a global provider of equipment and complete production solutions for the ice cream industry, we combine more than a century of experience with innovation, technical expertise and close customer collaboration. Our filling solutions help customers produce cups, cones, tubs and other filled products efficiently, reliably and at high quality.

We are now looking for a Product Owner to help develop and strengthen our filling product portfolio with emphasis on the Flexline product.

As Product Owner – Flexline, you will take technical ownership of our filling product portfolio and play a central role in its continued development.

You will connect customer requirements, market opportunities and operational experience with engineering and product development. Working closely with Product Management, Engineering, Automation, Sales, Projects, Production and Service, you will ensure that our filling solutions remain competitive, reliable and aligned with customer needs.

You will maintain the product roadmap, prioritize improvements and support projects throughout the value chain—from quotation and technical clarification to production, commissioning and lifecycle support.

The role does not include direct personnel responsibility. Your influence comes through your product expertise, judgment and ability to create alignment across functions.

• Maintain and develop the roadmap for Gram Equipment’s filling product portfolio.
• Identify and prioritize product improvements based on customer needs, field experience, market developments and business priorities.
• Define product requirements and help translate strategic priorities into concrete development activities.
• Monitor competitor technologies and identify relevant performance or technology gaps.
• Maintain product standards and ensure that approved improvements are implemented and sustained.

• Support project reviews, design approvals, technical clarifications and decisions concerning product interfaces.
• Ensure that project-specific solutions remain aligned with product standards, technical feasibility, safety, cost and delivery requirements.
• Coordinate closely with mechanical engineering, automation, production, assembly and project management.
• Support testing, validation and commissioning and use the resulting learning to improve the product portfolio.
• Contribute to the resolution of complex technical and field-performance issues.

• Support Sales and Internal Sales with quotations, equipment selection, configurations and technical customer dialogue.
• Participate in customer meetings and communicate product capabilities, options and technical limitations clearly.
• Balance filling performance, customer value, reliability, standardization and commercial competitiveness.
• Develop an understanding of customer applications and production requirements and use this insight to strengthen future solutions.

• Maintain relevant product specifications, documentation, equipment structures and product data.
• Coordinate product changes and ensure that decisions are properly documented, released and communicated.
• Support standardization and lifecycle management across existing and future filling platforms.
• Ensure that products comply with relevant food-safety, hygienic-design, machine-safety and regulatory requirements.

We are looking for someone who combines strong technical understanding with product ownership, commercial awareness and an interest in working across the organization.

You bring:

• A relevant technical education, preferably within mechanical engineering, process technology, production engineering or a comparable field.
• Experience with product ownership, product development, mechanical engineering or technical project execution within industrial machinery or a related industry.
• A good understanding of mechanical equipment, machine interfaces and the interaction between mechanics and automation.
• Experience with hygienic equipment, food production or filling and dosing technology is an advantage.
• The ability to understand customer applications and translate technical and commercial needs into product requirements and practical solutions.
• A structured approach to product roadmaps, technical decisions, documentation and follow-up.
• Commercial awareness and an understanding of how product decisions influence customer value, project performance and lifecycle cost.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills and the ability to influence decisions without formal authority.
• Good written and spoken English.

Experience with Inventor, Vault, AutoCAD, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central or comparable engineering and ERP systems would be an advantage.

Above all, you are curious about how products perform in real customer environments. You enjoy developing technical knowledge, asking questions and bringing people together around solutions that work across the full value chain.

• A central role with genuine influence on the future direction of Gram Equipment’s filling portfolio with emphasis on the Flexline product.
• The opportunity to combine technology, customer insight, commercial understanding and product development.
• Close cooperation with experienced specialists across Engineering, Automation, Sales, Production, Projects and Service.
• An international working environment with customers and colleagues across global markets.
• Opportunities for professional development and increasing product responsibility.
• An informal and collaborative workplace where knowledge sharing and practical improvement are valued.
• Competitive employment conditions aligned with your experience and qualifications.

The position is based at our headquarters in Kolding, Denmark. You should expect approximately 0–30 travel days per year, primarily for customer meetings, technical clarification, commissioning support and product validation.

Would you like to take ownership of filling technology and help turn customer needs, market insight and engineering expertise into competitive product solutions?
