Excellent structured communication: you lead with clarity in writing, in decision forums, and in front of executive and partner audiences.
Experience working closely with engineering teams in an agile environment, balancing predictable delivery with rapid iteration.
Excellent communication skills in English.
Willingness to travel/work onsite on a regular basis (hybrid working).
Residency and work authorization in Europe are required. The position may be based in Finland, Sweden, France, or Germany.

Background working with white-label, multi-tenant, or integration-heavy product architectures.
Own a product area at the heart of Europe’s e-mobility transition – with visible commercial impact.
A leadership culture that values honesty over hype: realistic commitments, evidence-based decisions, and direct communication.
