Job description

Spott is a YC-backed AI startup with its office in Leuven, Belgium. We are on a mission to transform the recruitment industry. Together, we’re building the first AI-native recruitment platform (ATS & CRM) that empowers professional recruiters to close more placements and help everyone find the right job more easily.

Why?

Recruitment is an $700B+ industry still running on outdated methods. The biggest players are slow to innovate. Spott isn’t a tool that will be added to legacy software, it is a full reset. We are the core operating software. AI-native, fast, scalable, and personal.

What We’re Looking For

We are product-obsessed. Everything we create needs to be better than any existing version of it on the market - and you will play a pivotal role in ensuring that standard is upheld.

• 4+ years in product roles at fast-growing B2B SaaS companies, including 2+ years leading product managers or a product function
• Proven track record of shipping products that customers love, from discovery to launch to iteration
• Technical enough to work closely with engineers on tradeoffs, architecture and scope. A background in engineering or as a software engineer is a must

What You’ll Do

• Own the product vision, strategy and roadmap for Spott's ATS & CRM, working directly with the CEO to decide where the product should go
• Build and lead the product team (FE and designers) as we scale from 50 to 150 people
• Run discovery with recruitment agencies across Europe, the US and APAC, and ruthlessly prioritize the features with the highest impact on the company

What We Offer

• Highly competitive salary and a meaningful stock option package
• A seat at the leadership table in a Series A company with offices in Leuven, New York and Sydney
• A role with significant responsibility, full ownership of critical systems, and tangible impact on product and company direction, within a highly ambitious team
• Great team vibe with regular dinners, sports activities and international offsites
