As a Product Owner at IAR

You will work with IAR's Translator Technology Team to convert business needs into technical specifications and ensure that these requirements are clearly understood and correctly implemented. As the Product Owner, you are responsible for developing and communicating the product goal and vision for IAR’s different compiler products.
