Job description

Head of Product | AI-Native B2B SaaS Scale-Up | Belgium

The Company: My client is a well-funded, venture-backed AI scale-up building an AI-native platform for a large, traditional industry that still runs on dated software. They aren't adding AI to legacy products. They're building the core system of record from scratch, designed around AI from day one. The business is growing fast, with customers in Europe, North America and APAC, and is now hiring its first Head of Product to own the product and build the function.

The Role: Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll set the product vision, strategy and roadmap for the company's flagship platform. You'll take product from founder-led to a scalable function, hiring and leading product managers and designers as the company grows significantly over the next 18 to 24 months.

What you'll do:

• Own product vision, strategy and roadmap, working with the CEO on where the platform goes next
• Hire, build and lead a product and design team
• Run customer discovery with users across several international markets and decide which features will have the biggest commercial impact
• Work closely with Engineering, Sales and Customer Success to ship quickly and measure results
• Set up the product processes, rituals and metrics that keep the team fast as it scales

What you'll bring:

• 4+ years in product roles at high-growth B2B SaaS companies, including at least 2 years leading product managers or a product function
• A track record of taking products from discovery through launch and iteration that customers love
• A background as a software engineer (essential), so you can work through architecture, scope and trade-offs with engineering as a peer
• High standards, and a drive to build products clearly better than anything else on the market

What's on offer:

• A highly competitive base salary plus a meaningful equity package
• A seat on the leadership team of an ambitious, well-backed scale-up
• Full ownership of the product, with direct influence on where the company goes
• A close, ambitious team with regular team dinners, sports and international offsites
