Product Manager
As a Product Manager at bookU, you’ll help shape the vision that determines what we develop. You’ll translate market insights, customer needs, and business objectives into a clear product strategy that the entire team can rally behind. You’ll serve as the bridge between the day-to-day challenges faced by staffing agencies, schedulers, and flex workers, and the solutions we devise to address those challenges.
What You’ll Do
- Shape the product vision and roadmap: You’ll translate the direction in which the industry is evolving into a concrete, prioritized plan.
- Monitoring the market: You’ll map out trends, the ecosystem, and the competitive landscape to identify opportunities.
- Analyzing data and feedback: You’ll make sense of usage data, business metrics, and customer feedback to validate assumptions and discover which challenges faced by staffing agencies, schedulers, and flex workers are worth addressing.
- Collaborating with sales: You’ll learn to understand purchasing behavior, what keeps customers loyal to us, and common objections, and you’ll help shape our market positioning.
- Collaborating with engineering: You’ll balance ambition with technical reality.
- Aligning everyone: You’ll provide a well-reasoned narrative with the right context, ensuring that everyone—both internally and externally—is efficiently moving in the same direction.
- Ensuring value and feasibility: You ensure that proposed solutions are both valuable (customers choose to buy and use them) and feasible (within our business constraints).
- Fostering culture: You encourage a culture of experimentation, learning, and customer obsession.
Who are we looking for?
- Experience: 5+ years of product management in B2B SaaS, ideally in HR tech, workforce management, or tools for SMEs.
- Strategic thinker: You step back to see the bigger picture and zoom in on the details when necessary.
- Storyteller: You know which stakeholders to involve at what stage, and you inspire people to follow the same path.
- Data-driven: You make decisions based on objective data, not opinions.
- Hands-on: You enjoy rolling up your sleeves and feel right at home in a startup or scale-up environment.
- Customer obsession: period.
- Languages: You’re fluent in Dutch and English.
Nice-to-haves
- Experience with the Belgian or European market.
- A technical background or a strong affinity with engineering teams.
- Proven experience launching successful products or features on a large scale.
What we have to offer
- Influence over the direction: You’ll help shape the product direction of a growing company.
- Real impact: Your decisions directly influence thousands of companies and their teams.
- A no-nonsense team: a pragmatic team that prioritizes results over politics.
- Room to experiment: fail fast, learn faster!
- Autonomy and trust: we hire smart people and let them do their jobs.
- Hybrid work: partly from home, partly at our office in Kortrijk.
- A competitive compensation package, tailored to your experience.
