Head of Product

Shape the product. Transform manufacturing. Atumind builds software that connects people, machines and real-time production data. Today, our platform is already the strongest on the market, trusted by industry-leading food processors and manufacturers across Europe, the US and Canada. Our ambition is to extend that lead and become the reference industrial software platform globally. To get there, we are looking for a Head of Product, a seasoned product leader to own the product roadmap end to end, reporting directly to the CEO and sitting on the management team, and to bring Atumind's product management to the next level supporting our growth phase. This is not someone who manages a backlog. This is someone who decides, with real authority, where our product and Atumind go next. Your impact You sit at the intersection of customers, market and engineering, and you turn what you see there into a product strategy the whole company can execute against. You will: Own Atumind's product vision, strategy and positioning, and defend it against short-term pressure. Elevate product management from where it stands today into a structured, strategic discipline, with clear process, ownership and metrics. Turn customer needs and market developments into a focused, scalable product roadmap. Build and chair a customer advisory board, giving our best customers, already industry leaders in their own markets, a direct channel into what we build next. Talk to customers, prospects and users continuously to understand how manufacturing really works, on the floor and in the back office. Track how the market is moving, MES/WMS/WCS/MOM, industrial IoT, AI and connected manufacturing, and translate that into what Atumind should build, buy or ignore, staying ahead of where competitors are heading. Know what competitors are doing and use it to sharpen our positioning. Separate strategic product bets from one-off feature requests, and hold that line under pressure from customers and sales alike. Set priorities based on customer value, commercial potential and technical feasibility, and make the trade-offs explicit. Lead cross-functionally across Engineering, Sales and Project Management, aligning people who don't report to you around one roadmap. Represent product on the management team, with a direct voice in company strategy and a direct line to the CEO. Define success metrics and measure product adoption and impact, with numbers, not impressions. What you bring We are ambitious, so we set a high bar. At least five years of product management experience, including time owning strategy for a B2B SaaS, enterprise or industrial software product, not just running a roadmap for one. A track record of leading through influence: getting engineering, sales and leadership aligned on priorities without having formal authority over most of them. A proven history of taking a product from discovery and strategy through launch, adoption and iteration. Strong customer-discovery, analytical and prioritisation skills, and the judgment to say no. The ability to combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution, this is a builder's role, not a slide-deck role. Enough technical fluency to hold your own on integrations, APIs, data flows and architecture with engineering. Commercial awareness, a clear view of how product choices move growth, retention and scalability. The confidence to challenge assumptions, including the CEO's, and make calls that won't please everyone. Professional proficiency in Dutch and English; French is a strong plus given our client base across Belgium and France. A frequent, hands-on presence at our headquarters in Belgium, this is a role built on working closely, in person, alongside the team, not from a distance. Experience with manufacturing, MES/WMS/WCS/MOM, ERP, industrial IoT or real-time production data is a real advantage, you'll be credible on the floor from day one. Why Atumind? We already have what most software companies spend years chasing: the strongest product in our category, and a customer base of industry leaders who prove it every day, from Europe to the US and Canada. What we need now is someone who turns that lead into a clear, defensible, long-term product direction, and who's willing to own the outcome. Joining Atumind as Head of Product means: A seat on the management team, reporting directly to the CEO, with direct influence over product and growth strategy. Joining a tight, genuinely strong engineering team, the kind of colleagues who make the job better, not harder, inside a company that's growing fast and knows exactly where it wants to go. Working closely with an established, international customer base, and shaping what we build for the industry leaders who already trust us. The mandate to take product management from where it is today to where a scale-up of our ambition needs it to be, with room to grow the function as we scale. Solving problems that show up on a real production floor, not just in a backlog. Visible impact, fast, decisions you make this year will still be shaping Atumind in five. A market-leading platform with genuine international growth potential still ahead of it. Ready to shape the future of industrial software with us?
