Director Product

At Aceve, we back the builders of society.

We're an AI-first company, and we work with grit, openness, and a good dose of joy. ## **About the role** As Director of Product, you will lead product management across a broad and diverse portfolio of software products, with a particular focus on the Benelux region. This is a senior leadership role for someone who thrives in complexity, knows how to prioritize ruthlessly across many competing demands, and can bring teams and stakeholders along through meaningful change. ## **What you will do** - Own and drive the product strategy and roadmap across a diverse portfolio of software products, balancing near-term commercial priorities with longer-term strategic direction. - Make clear, well-reasoned prioritization decisions across products at different lifecycle stages — from active investment to end-of-life — and communicate those decisions effectively to teams and stakeholders. - Lead, mentor, and develop a team of product managers, setting high standards for product thinking, customer focus, and cross-functional execution. - Act as the key connector between product, engineering, sales, and customer success — ensuring that what gets built delivers real business and customer value, and that teams are aligned on what matters most. - Build strong relationships with stakeholders across multiple countries and business units, maintaining trust and clear communication in a distributed, multi-market organization. - Drive product-led initiatives that maximize value from the existing portfolio, including cross-sell opportunities in close partnership with sales teams. - Lead your organization through change — whether that means evolving how products are built, how teams work, or how customers experience the portfolio over time. ## **What we are looking for** - Proven experience at director level in product management, with a track record of leading and developing teams of product managers across a large or varied portfolio. - Experience working in B2B or enterprise software environments — particularly those with complex, legacy, or on-premise products.

You are comfortable with ambiguity and can operate effectively without everything being perfectly defined. **Nice to have:** - Experience with product portfolio rationalization, platform migration programs, or large-scale product transitions. - Background in vertical SaaS or enterprise software for industrial, field-service, or construction-adjacent industries. ## **What we offer** - A meaningful leadership mandate with real scope — you will have genuine influence over product direction across a large, multi-country portfolio. - The opportunity to shape how a growing European software company evolves its product organization, at a pivotal moment in its development. - A collaborative, cross-functional environmen…
