Description

TECH & DIGITAL

Let’s be clear: we’re not looking for a project manager to groom a backlog. We’re looking for a true Product Manager to form and lead an empowered, cross-functional team. Your job isn’t to take orders; it’s to own outcomes, from discovering the most pressing problems for our professional partners to launching a global, monetized service that solves them.
If you believe that great products are built on deep customer understanding, continuous discovery, and a relentless focus on value, then we’re probably a match.

WHAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU

We’re looking for a combination of craft, mindset, and experience. You’ll likely have:

  • Proven Product Experience: 3–5 years as a Product Manager leading an empowered, cross-functional product team in an agile environment.
  • Mastery of Product Discovery: You have a toolbox of discovery techniques and know when and how to apply them. (Experience with modern ideation tools like V0, Replit, etc., is a plus).
  • Business & Customer Acumen: A deep-seated curiosity for both the user’s problem and the business model required to solve it profitably. Experience with marketplaces or monetizing B2B/B2B2C services is a huge advantage.
  • Technical & Design Fluency: You’re comfortable holding deep discussions with engineers about feasibility and with designers about user experience.
  • Data Savvy: You use data to find opportunities, make decisions, and measure success. (SQL knowledge is a plus).
  • Exceptional Communicator & Influencer: You are a strong storyteller who can inspire your team, manage stakeholders, and rally the company around your vision.
  • Entrepreneurial Mindset: You are proactive, autonomous, and decisive. You thrive in a scaling environment where you can build something from the ground up.
  • Domain knowledge of HR-tech is a plus but not required.
  • Living and working in the Netherlands: You must be resident in the Netherlands, near Hoofddorp, we work Hybrid so we welcome you at our office.
Responsibilities

As the product leader for your team, you will:

  • Own the Outcome: Take full ownership of the value and business viability of your product area. You’re responsible for the “why” and the “what,” while your team collaborates on the “how.”
  • Lead Continuous Discovery: Live with your customers. Lead interviews, discovery workshops, and experiments to uncover the most critical problems and opportunities to pursue.
  • Shape the Strategy: Define and communicate an outcome-oriented product strategy and roadmap. You’ll align the team and stakeholders around a compelling vision, not a list of features.
  • Drive Delivery & Iteration: Guide your team through the entire product development cycle—from validating solutions and managing risk to releasing value and iterating based on data and user feedback.
  • Champion Your Product: Be the chief evangelist for your product. You’ll present demos, craft compelling product messaging, and ensure that what you build makes a measurable impact on our partners and our business.
