Are you interested in joining one of Europe's fastest growing companies? Do you want to impact the wellbeing of millions of users? If yes, join us to make an impact in a fast-paced and dynamic environment where you'll play a key role in driving product strategy, building high-performing teams, and enabling sustainable growth. Epassi's purpose is to boost everyday wellbeing. We are a leading provider of employee benefit solutions across Europe.

Your mission at Epassi:

  • Epassi has built or acquired sport network products across multiple European markets. Your mission is to change that—without losing what makes each of them win locally.
  • You will establish and lead Epassi's first global Sport Product capability: a function that sets the product vision, architecture, and quality bar across all sport products, while ensuring each market ships the right things for its users, employers, and network partners.
  • You will start with Germany — our largest and most complex sport market — and expand from there.

This is not a coordination role. It is a builder role. You will own a roadmap, lead a growing team, and be held accountable for sport usage and GMV globally.

Your responsibilities will be:

  • Build the Global Sport Product capability: Define the team structure, hiring plan, tooling standards, and operating model.
  • Own the Germany product end-to-end: You take full product ownership: roadmap, prioritisation, delivery, and outcomes.
  • Integrate and unify sport products across markets: Your job is to find the integration strategy.
  • Interface with local and global product teams: You work closely with local commercial and product teams in each market.
  • Define and deliver against global sport KPIs: Your primary metrics are sport usage and GMV across the portfolio.

You'll be successful in this role if you:

  • Build a functioning Global Sport Product team: hired, embedded, and operating within the first two quarters.
  • Own and ship the Germany sport product roadmap, tracking toward GMV and usage targets.
  • Set a clear integration roadmap for sport products across markets.
  • Establish a monthly cadence of product performance reporting against sport usage and GMV.

What you should bring (experience that is non-negotiable):

  • 10+ years in product management, with at least 5 years leading product organisations of 10+ people.
  • Strong understanding of sport or fitness network products.
  • B2B or employee benefits background.
  • Cross-country or multi-market product experience.

The profile we are looking for:

  • Data-driven to your core.
  • Vision and execution in equal measure.
  • Builder, not bureaucrat.
  • Commercially sharp.
  • Fluent across cultures.

Your language profile: English C1/C2 required. German C1 strongly preferred.

Your track record:

  • You have led product organisations through market expansion before.
  • You have integrated acquired products into a broader platform.
  • You have managed PMs, not just projects.

Your competency profile:

  • (Sport) Domain authority.
  • Global product thinking.
  • Outcome orientation.
  • Team builder.
  • Cross-functional leadership.
  • AI-native working style.

Why You Should Join Us:

  • Be part of an ambitious growth journey.
  • Work with a clear purpose—boosting everyday wellbeing.
  • Thrive in an open and inclusive culture.
  • Join a fast-growing tech company with a strong financial foundation.
  • Benefit from an inspiring and supportive work environment.
  • Contribute to solidifying our position as the number one player in Europe's employee benefit market.
