Orchestrating Enterprise Product Evolution
Lead product strategy and transformation in a fast-growing enterprise software company. Drive the shift to a modular platform, strengthen product governance, and build a scalable product organisation in a complex environment.
Your responsibilities and tasks
1. Define and lead the Product operating model, including governance, decision rights, prioritisation frameworks, and clear interfaces with Engineering, Sales, Operations, and Business Development.
2. Establish structured intake and prioritisation mechanisms to translate uncoordinated demand into a coherent, transparent, and executable product roadmap.
3. Take end-to-end ownership of product roadmap governance and ensure prioritisation decisions are consistently executed across Product Engineering and related functions.
4. Drive discipline in product execution by reducing noise, managing competing stakeholder demands, and safeguarding focus on strategic priorities.
5. Define and evolve the long-term product vision and strategy, guiding the transition toward a modular, API-first and scalable next-generation platform.
6. Build, develop, and scale the Product Management organisation, strengthening capability, leadership depth, and product ownership across a growing team.
Your background and experience
7. Proven senior product leadership experience in complex enterprise software environments (EAM/ERP is an advantage), ideally within international and multi-country organisations operating at scale. Experience in regulated or mission-critical environments is considered a strong advantage.
8. Strong track record in product transformation, including evolution from legacy platforms towards modular, scalable, and API-first architectures.
9. Experience building, restructuring, or significantly upgrading Product Management organisations, with end-to-end ownership of product operating models and roadmap governance.
10. Demonstrated ability to define and maintain product sustainability and long-term product health, beyond feature-driven development.
11. Experience operating in highly complex, execution-heavy environments with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
12. Fluent in English; Dutch is preferred. Any other additional European language is an asset.
