We usually respond within a day
ACTS Curaçao
ACTS is one of the leading providers of software-based solutions across a wide range of industries in the Caribbean and beyond. ACTS offers Application Development, IT Consultancy and Outsourcing.
Their solutions are catered to the advancement of your business and are devoted to helping clients with an excellent combination of software and technology expertise to enable them to make incredible progress in their business and organization.

The role
You lead the team that builds our product, and you own where that product goes. We build systems that governments run on, and at our size the two responsibilities of team & product ownership sit together deliberately.
What you will do
Line-manage, coach, and develop the people who build the product: 1-on-1s, goals, feedback, personal growth
Own and prioritize the backlog, and hold a product direction you can defend
Plan and manage scope, and step in when delivery or client issues need a structured approach
Contribute to budgeting and forecasting, and champion security and quality within the team

What are we looking for
Three things matter most:
proven line management,
a delivery track record you can evidence,
and strong communication to align a client and a team on the same day.
What would be a good foundation?
Around 5 years leading both people and delivery.
PRINCE2, Scrum or comparable structured delivery training or demonstrable equivalent experience.
Product ownership background and CSPO/PSPO are valued additions.
If you meet most of this and are open about the gaps, apply anyway.
The honest truth
We are explicit about which part is the hardest requirement: Leadership and delivery are what we cannot train quickly; product ownership is what we will help you grow into, with support from senior colleagues and the Scrum Master.
If you are looking for a pure product role, this is not it, and we would rather you know now.

Working with AI
You set the tone for how an entire team uses these tools: where they help, where the boundaries sit, and the standing rule that the team owns what it ships, regardless of how it was generated.
