Senior Product Manager

Join a fast growing company with a purpose! At Fastned you will actively contribute to accelerating the transition to electric mobility. In this role you will lead the way on how we deliver an always working charge to our customers: from how we manage our growing charger network, to reliable payments and providing our customer support with the right tools and information at the right time. Your mission is to ensure a frictionless and enjoyable charging experience to all EV drivers.

Your role

Fastned enables EV drivers around Europe to charge their vehicle with renewable energy and leads the way in making mobility sustainable. In this role, you will create impact by making the charging experience as frictionless and enjoyable as possible. This is a unique opportunity to refine what ‘mission control’ should look like for the Fastned rocketship.

In this role you get full ownership of our Operations-facing products. For example: Revolt Admin, our backoffice used by Network and Customer Operations teams for delivering a most reliable charge and excellent support. You will define, improve and oversee discovery and delivery of these products and push the envelope to launch new and innovative solutions. You will do this as a member of your scrum team, together with Product Design, Engineering and other stakeholders. In this effort you are guided by an in-depth understanding of user needs based on research and data but also heart, intuition, curiosity, play, guts and taste.

Your overall responsibilities include

• Drive product strategy through maintaining an aligned prioritized roadmap and backlog

• Monitor and measure product performance and feed insights back into the product development lifecycle. Be ferocious and resourceful in improving performance metrics

• Understand the needs of your users, key stakeholders as well as the business, for refining business processes and ensuring needs are adequately translated into product

• Work with your users, stakeholders and team members on solution discovery, delivery and the reporting of realized outcomes

• Meticulously chase and track bugs to guarantee a seamless experience for your users

• Clearly communicate product plans and results with your team, to users and key stakeholders

• Contribute to improving the product development lifecycle & implementation of best practices

What we’re looking for

• You possess a master's degree and bring analytical thinking to the job

• You leverage data to drive strategic decisions. You have proven experience of analyzing and using data to make key product decisions.

• You have a solid understanding of how to translate business processes into product, preferably having done this before in a fast-scaling startup environment

• You think and talk in terms of assumption validation and hypotheses testing, driving business outcomes through rapid experiments and problem solving. And recognise there’s things that just need to get done, for example related to compliance and auditing.

• You have strong experience in stakeholder collaboration, understanding their needs with the customer in mind, and transforming those into problems to solve & stories to refine with the team

• You have the ability to prioritize requests in a high paced and Agile work environment

As a bonus:

• You have experience with leading for backoffice products and payment processing, from the authorization of payment methods to payment service provider integrations and improving revenue reconciliation.

• You have experience leading for products with a high volume data-exchange, as you will be leading for partner integrations and industry-standard protocols.

• SQL proficiency is highly desirable, or you are willing to learn it (we provide in-house SQL training!)
