I work as a product owner in a business-critical mobile application that is used in Finland and the Baltics. The application is widely used across various business areas, but it also serves customers outside the company. The application is designed to facilitate and speed up the work of Posti employees as part of the parcel journey and handling process.Our winning team includes a tech team, a designer, and a tester. Our daily work is based on projects and our philosophy is based on Posti's values Reliable, Respectful, and Progressive. We have received great feedback from projects. Feedback in the original languages:💛 "Haluankin erikseen kiittää kaikesta siitä avusta, jota olen vuoden 2023 aikana Sonjalta saanut. Moni asia olisi ollut monin verroin työläämpää ratkoa ilman häntä.”- Co-worker in Posti, feedback in the HR system💛 “Yhteistyömme on ollut mutkatonta ja helppoa, en muita sanoja keksi sitä kuvatakseni.
