As VP of Product, you will be responsible for leading and driving the growth of Playable's talented Product team, ensuring the continuous innovation, enhancement, and maintenance of the Playable platform. You will guide the team through the product lifecycle - from ideation to execution - while fostering a collaborative environment that maximises productivity, innovation and collaboration - both in the team and with the rest of the organisation. You will ensure that the team works efficiently, is aligned with business goals, and stays responsive to customer needs. This role requires a strong background in tech leadership, and a hands-on approach to managing software development.

Today, the Product team consists of six colleagues covering a Principal Engineer (Aarhus), Senior Backend Developer (remote), Senior Frontend Developer (Aarhus), Frontend Developer (Aarhus), and a Junior Product Manager (Aarhus). The team is currently under joint leadership by our Co-CEOs.

This role is ideal if you would like to play a pivotal role in shaping our product strategy, driving innovation, and fostering strong collaboration between teams across the organization. And if you’re ambitious and have what it takes, the future career path for this role includes SVP and C-level progression.
