Product Owner (Workplace Transparency) - fully remote within Europe (m/f/d)

what it's all about

The Team:
At JobLeads, we believe finding the right job can change a life.

That belief drives everything we create. We’re a team of builders, thinkers, and problem-solvers working at the intersection of data, technology, and human ambition.

Now, we’re standing at the starting line of something new.

Inside our established product organization - with strong engineering resources, leadership backing, and cross-functional collaboration already in place - we’re launching a greenfield product that can reshape how job seekers experience transparency.

We’re building this product from scratch - on top of JobLeads’ proven platform, data foundations, and reach across millions of users. That means fast iteration, real-world feedback from day one, and the ability to scale quickly.

What’s missing? The product vision and ownership to bring it to life.

That’s where you come in.

Your Role:
This isn’t a maintenance role. It’s a creation role.

As Product Owner, you’ll take end-to-end ownership of a new product area: defining what it is, shaping how it’s built, and guiding it from first concept to a scalable, user-facing experience.

You’ll bridge internal capabilities and real user value. You’ll turn structured data into compelling product experiences. And you’ll lay the foundation for a product line designed to scale across JobLeads’ existing user base and acquisition channels.

From day one, you’ll have engineering support, leadership alignment, and cross-functional stakeholders ready to collaborate. What you’ll bring is clarity, momentum, and product conviction.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Own the product end-to-end, from concept to launch and beyond

• Define the product vision and translate it into a structured, actionable roadmap

• Create and manage a quality backlog: epics, user stories, acceptance criteria, and iterative releases

• Partner closely with Engineering to turn platform capabilities into a fully user-facing experience

• Deeply understand workflows and architecture to ensure scalable, high-quality data foundations

• Establish and oversee data inflow pipelines (internal and third-party enrichment sources)

• Own data coverage, freshness, and quality - treating data as a product surface, not just backend plumbing

• Design and launch user-facing functionality with clear use cases for job seekers, plus a measurable discovery/SEO strategy

• Collaborate with Marketing (SEO & SEA) and other product teams to maximize visibility, engagement, and retention

• Set success metrics, run experiments, and drive fast iteration based on user behaviour and outcomes

• Explore B2B opportunities over time and define the product capabilities needed to unlock that next stage

What You’ll Need:

• 5+ years of Product Ownership / Product Management experience, ideally within a data-driven or platform-based product

• Proven experience taking products from early-stage capability to something users actively engage with

• Strong analytical instincts, you make decisions grounded in data, not just intuition

• Clear, structured communication skills—you can write specs engineers execute on and strategies leadership rallies behind

• Comfort navigating ambiguity and building clarity where none exists

• Fluency in English

Nice If You Have:

• Experience operating in B2C and B2B environments, or marketplace platforms

• Background in HR tech, recruiting, or the broader jobs ecosystem

• Comfort working with data-heavy products where quality, coverage, and enrichment are central product decisions

• A sharp eye for UX, you’ve partnered closely with designers and understand the difference between functional and compelling

• Familiarity with SEO fundamentals in large-scale, content-rich web environments

• Exposure to AI-driven products or data enrichment systems

What You Can Expect On Board:

• True ownership of a greenfield product, with leadership backing and engineering resources from day one

• Direct mentorship and close collaboration

• Cross-functional exposure across Product, Marketing, Data, and Engineering

• The opportunity to shape a product that increases transparency in the job market

• A team that values clarity, autonomy, and thoughtful decision-making

• The chance to build something from zero to one, and then scale it

• Remote flexibility and a modern tech stack designed for autonomy and scale

• Annual company summer getaway + team meetups across the EU

If you’re energized by turning raw data into meaningful user experiences, if you thrive in greenfield environments where ownership is real and impact is visible, and if you want to build something that makes the job market more transparent and empowering, this is your opportunity to define it from the ground up.

Let’s build it together.
