What does a freelance Product Owner actually do?
A freelance Product Owner takes ownership of product vision, roadmap and backlog. Prioritising on value, aligning stakeholders and giving the development team clear direction so every sprint is spent on the right outcome. The difference with a permanent PO? Direct experience from 7 industries and value from day one.
What do the first four weeks look like?
Week 1-2 is discovery and plan: meeting stakeholders, reviewing the product and backlog, mapping risks and dependencies, aligning early recommendations and presenting a draft roadmap. Week 3-4 is action and first output: first sprint with the new approach, backlog restructured, first quick wins where possible and a clear decision on the next steps. Then evaluate together whether the direction and collaboration fit. See the full setup.
What are your rates? Most asked
I work on an hourly basis for interim engagements. Rates are at senior freelance level and scale with scope and complexity. For strategic advisory or workshops, fixed-price arrangements are available. The first conversation is always no obligation. See the three forms of collaboration.
When are you available for a project? Most asked
For consultancy, strategy advice or a sparring partner, I am available immediately. For an interim Product Owner assignment, the earliest availability is Q1 2027. Based in Amsterdam, working hybrid across the Netherlands.
How does the contracting work? Most asked
Engagements run through Locomojo B.V. under a B2B service agreement. Each assignment has a clear scope, expected outcome, duration and working setup. For longer collaborations, we work with defined phases or updated assignment descriptions instead of an open-ended role. This keeps the engagement concrete, transparent and easier to assess for HR, procurement and compliance. Directly with your organisation or via an intermediary if preferred.
Can one collaboration include multiple assignments?
Yes. A collaboration can continue across multiple phases, as long as each phase is clearly defined. For example: first product discovery and roadmap alignment, then backlog restructuring, then delivery execution. Each phase should have its own goal, scope, expected outcome and duration. I avoid open-ended capacity roles; the assignment must stay concrete and reviewable.
Do you also work on-site or only remotely?
Hybrid is the default: a mix of on-site and remote. Based in Amsterdam, travels across the Netherlands. Key moments like PI Planning and sprint reviews preferably face-to-face.
