Designing a next-generation web platform to digitalize and optimize workshop operations, improve efficiency, and scale across different workshops Project duration: 10 weeks The Product Owner plays a pivotal role during the initial phase of the project, ensuring that the product vision is firmly grounded in the real needs, workflows, and expectations of the New York Workshop. The product to be designed is a web-based workshop management application, aimed at structuring, optimizing and enhancing daily operations for artisans, supervisors, and operational teams (production tracking, workflow orchestration, quality monitoring, collaboration, etc.). Positioned on-site for the first ten weeks, this profile acts as the primary link between Workshop users and the broader product team, ensuring the solution is fully aligned with operational realities and delivers tangible business value. After this immersion phase, operational ownership will progressively transition to the France-based Proxy Product Owner, who will be involved from day one and will remain engaged throughout the entire delivery phase (estimated at approximately seven months).

Backlog & Product Structure Build and prioritize the product backlog, ensuring strong alignment with workshop needs and business value Structure the solution around end-to-end operational workflows (from task assignment to production follow-up) Define a clear MVP focused on high-impact use cases for workshop efficiency and performance Establish a scalable product roadmap enabling future rollout to other workshops 4. Alignment & Vision Setting Ensure alignment between client stakeholders, workshop teams, and the delivery team Position the solution as a scalable workshop management platform, reusable across multiple sites Define product objectives in terms of efficiency, quality, traceability and user adoption Document key assumptions, success criteria and transformation ambitions 5.
