Who are we?

Tapio is a fast-growing start-up headquartered in Brussels. Our mission is to help companies transition to a low carbon economy. We've developed a carbon management software that provides companies with the toolbox they need to understand and act on their carbon emissions.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for a senior product manager with five or more years’ worth of experience in B2B SaaS management. As a Product Manager at Tapio, you need to successfully position and introduce new products and services, maintain a balance between Sales and R&D, manage the product lines of existing products and innovations, and turn new products into a competitive advantage. You’ll be managing multiple opportunities at once, so you’ll need to be organised, process-driven, and diligent to ensure that leads turn into sales. 
As our Product Manager, you’ll have a pivotal role in this evolution.

Your responsibilities

• • Own the entire product vision that continues to set us up for success in the future
  • Setup and maintain a super-efficient way of working to gather and structure the product needs, coming from our internal departments (Sales, CSM, Engineering, …) and, of course, directly from our customers!
  • Prioritise product needs based on their value to our customers and the estimated effort to deliver them.
  • Together with Vanille, our Product Associate, and in close cooperation with the rest of the company (CEO, COO, Engineering, CSM, Sales, etc.), you translate the product vision into a workable product roadmap, containing nicely planned milestones, epics, and stories.
  • You balance the standardisation of the Tapio product with the local needs we have for each of our regional markets (mostly European at the moment and globally shortly).
  • You follow up the execution of the roadmap and optimise the whole product development process where you see fit.
  • You will report directly to Louis, our COO, and you'll work closely with lots of other team members throughout Tapio.

• You are excellent at staying in check with the market and figuring out where the market will be heading in the future.
• You get a kick out of finding out what features delight customers. Engaging in conversations with customers excites you.
• You rock at building an innovative product vision and managing the practical execution of that vision to make it happen in real life.
• Of course, you are really, really good at planning and organising.
• You have a way of finding solutions in cooperation with others by listening and finding the best solution for everyone.
• We believe in working our butts off when necessary, but we don't believe in pressuring people to get them to do things.
