Descrizione del lavoro

From day one at Unobravo, we’ve been on a mission to make mental health support truly accessible to everyone by normalizing therapy, fostering openness, and breaking down the stigma that still surrounds it.

Our success is driven by an exceptional team dedicated to providing high-quality, accessible care, anytime, anywhere. With over 9,500 qualified therapists and more than 10 million therapy sessions delivered, we’re proud to have made a meaningful difference in countless lives.

To take our company to the next level, we're looking for a VP of Technology & Product to lead the next chapter of our Technology & Product organisation.

We're looking for a technically credible, product-minded leader who combines strategic thinking with pragmatic execution and leads with trust, strong leadership and low ego.

Reporting to the COO, you'll lead Engineering, Product and Design across an organisation of ~50 people, bringing these disciplines together around a shared strategy while empowering their respective leaders.

You’ll also play a key role in driving Unobravo's responsible adoption of AI and emerging technologies, identifying opportunities to create meaningful value while ensuring innovation remains grounded in clinical integrity, user trust, safety and regulatory requirements.

Unobravo is first and foremost a mental health company. Technology enables our mission; this role will ensure Product and Technology can deliver it responsibly and at scale.

• Salary range: Starting from €100,000 gross annual base salary, with the final package determined based on experience and scope, in line with our commitment to transparent and equitable compensation practices.

What You’ll Do

• Strategy & Prioritisation: Driving an integrated technology strategy that serves both patients and therapists, translates company priorities into clear direction and roadmaps and balances user needs, clinical impact, business value, scalability and long-term sustainability.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Creating the conditions for Engineering, Product and Design to operate as a cohesive, outcome-oriented organisation.
• Executive Communication & Influence: Representing Technology and Product at leadership level, translating complex trade-offs, constraints and risks into clear business implications and advocating for the investments needed to support the company over the long term.
• Technology Scalability & Reliability: Ensuring Unobravo operates a scalable, secure and reliable technology platform capable of supporting our long-term ambitions.
• Pragmatic Engineering Culture: Fostering a pragmatic engineering culture that values simplicity, maintainability and impact over unnecessary complexity or hype-driven technology decisions.
• Technical Sustainability: Balancing speed and innovation with technical sustainability, including the effective management of technical debt, architecture and platform evolution.
• AI Strategy & Governance: Shaping and championing the organisation’s AI strategy and culture, influencing how teams adopt, experiment with and embed AI into their ways of working, while establishing appropriate governance and ensuring alignment with clinical, ethical, security and regulatory standards.
• Leadership & Talent Development: Leading, coaching and developing senior leaders across Engineering, Product and Design, creating strong functional leadership while fostering collaboration across disciplines.
• Low-Ego Culture & Ownership: Building a low-ego culture where teams have meaningful ownership, people can challenge decisions openly and the best ideas win regardless of hierarchy.
• Customer-Centred Delivery: Ensuring teams deliver meaningful value through customer insight, experimentation, data-informed iteration and high-quality execution.

You will be the perfect fit if you have:

• Experience navigating the ethical, security, governance or regulatory considerations associated with technology and AI adoption.
• A thoughtful approach to innovation that balances opportunity with Unobravo's responsibility towards patients, therapists and their data.
