About the Role

This is a strategic, customer-facing role focused on discovering and delivering high-impact solutions for our most complex enterprise users, partners, and community.

Grounded in human-centred design and design thinking principles, you’ll bring structured creativity and deep empathy to solve real user problems — from discovery through delivery.

You’ll collaborate closely with senior leaders, development teams, and Product Owners to shape Matomo’s enterprise roadmap, while spending time in the field connecting directly with decision-makers, users, and partners.

You’ll champion the voice of the customer throughout the product lifecycle, using design thinking methodologies (empathise, define, ideate, prototype, test) to de-risk product decisions and build solutions people truly want and need.

You’ll also sharpen our Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), ensuring features and workflows are built for the right users and deliver maximum value.

At the same time, you'll help elevate our product management discipline — improving rituals, delivery practices, and product culture maturity.

This role sits at the intersection of product innovation, customer engagement, localised go-to-market execution, and brand evangelism — requiring strong in-region presence and the ability to influence across time zones in an asynchronous, collaborative environment.

About you

- Customer Champion: You’re obsessed with solving real customer problems through human-centred design and relentless empathy. From discovery to delivery, you're the voice of the user.

- Strategic Thinker & Doer: You're as comfortable running design sprints and prototyping ideas as you are aligning roadmaps with OKRs. Big picture meets tactical execution—you're in the sweet spot.

- Privacy Evangelist: GDPR, ePrivacy, Privacy by Design—these aren't just buzzwords; they're your core values. You champion ethical analytics and know how to turn privacy into a product advantage.

- Cross-Functional Guru: Working seamlessly with Sales, Marketing, Engineering, and Customer Success teams across multiple time zones is your superpower. You’re a collaborative force that breaks down silos.

- Analytical Innovator: You balance intuition with data-driven decision-making, always validating your assumptions and measuring success. Evidence-backed proposals and measurable outcomes are your trademark.
