Head of Product
About this role
Head of Product (Design Engineer)
We at Talented are now looking for an AI-savvy Head of Product to work for our impressive customer - Venuu - the online marketplace reimagining how people get together to celebrate life's special moments. Each month, they help over 400,000 people to book venues and services for their life's events.
Venuu is far away from being just an early-stage startup searching for product-market fit; they are a solid business operating in 5 markets across Europe with a team of 30 and a marketplace GMV of approximately 20M€ per year. Right now, they are in the midst of a critical transition: moving from a "business-ops heavy" model into a technology-first organisation. Venuu isn't just building a website; they are building an AI-leveraged Operating System for the entire event industry.
"To lead this critical transition, we are looking for a Head of Product who is a true "Generalist Doer" - combining high-level design taste, technical fluency, and a relentless drive for commercial impact. You'll have the resources, backing, and mandate to rebuild core workflows and ship extraordinary solutions at scale. Looking forward meeting you!" - Jaakko, CEO
