🚗 About us
We are reshaping the €70bn European car leasing business, one of the largest yet-to-be disrupted markets. The traditional car leasing industry is slow, complicated and expensive.
At LIZY, we’re changing that. We’re making the process of ordering a car on our platform as easy as ordering a toaster on Amazon. Our ambition is to become the European leader in digital car leasing.
LIZY is a well funded (€10M+) startup with off-the-charts revenue growth (>300% per year) and an amazing team of 40+ A-players.
🥋 Lizy values
🥳 Fun (Have it): Enjoy the ride - life is short.
🎁 Feedback (Give it): Feedback is the breakfast of champions. Always assume positive intent.
🏋 Personal Growth (Master it): Never stop learning and improving.
🔥 Wow (Deliver it): Actually make our customers say “WOW”.
🏋️♂️ Drive (Show it): Show commitment and bring everything you have. Do what you say and say what you do.
👩💻 The Team
At LIZY, we believe that a happy cohesive team can go a long way. We do everything that’s possible to build a work environment that enables everyone to work at their best. Working at LIZY means being part of an empowered team and collaborating with talented colleagues with experience at well-known companies such as McKinsey, Uber and Google!
🕵️ Who are we looking for?
Since Day 1, we have cultivated the culture of building delightful experiences for our customers by leveraging technology. The complexity & hence the improvement potential in the leasing experience can be compared to sectors like fintech & insurtech. We’re well on our way to crafting our own Revolut-like success story.
Our accomplishments thus far have set us apart from traditional players. Some concrete examples to illustrate our trajectory so far:
- Automating pricing & offer generation processes, a task that takes competitors multiple days
- Implementing AI-powered scanning & processing of parking fines (vs. manual handling by dedicated teams)
- Developing a custom-tailored credit check platform, adapted to company characteristics (vs. traditional manual email interactions with 8 attachments)
- Offering AI-powered email support for prompt responses to simple customer inquiries (multiple days for competitors)
With exponential growth in recent quarters and a recent successful fundraising round, we stand at an exciting inflection point to accelerate our mission to set a new standard for efficiency, convenience and user experience in SME mobility. Accelerating this mission will require you to scale and scope the product team, manage cross-functional collaboration, formalize product strategy, organize customer discovery, scale shipment velocity and build a culture of empowered excellence.
We are looking for a product leader with a strong track record who can take full ownership in owning this trajectory in close collaboration with our visionary CPO. The first assignment will be to demonstrate product management qualities by setting up a new squad. As time progresses, more and more managerial & leadership responsibilities will be handed over.
💪 Your profile
You have a track-record of delivering multiple high-quality work streams within complex and challenging environments with a strong bias for action. You have a profound admiration for the power of technology and feel comfortable discussing practical concepts with software engineers.
Former work experience includes a leadership role in a fast-growing scale-up product management organization.
We expect you to be top performer in the following domains:
- Roadmap & prioritization: You are expected to create, prioritize, and maintain the product roadmap based on customer discovery insights. This means breaking down large goals into actionable items and ensuring they align with the Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). You'll work closely with the design and engineering leads to refine and adjust the backlog as necessary.
- Translate complexity into clarity: Your role involves collecting requirements and needs from stakeholders across all levels of the organization. You will use your analytical & structuring skills to challenge these needs, ask critical questions, and translate them to crystal-clear initiatives.
- Hiring, managing and coaching new product managers in the following years.
- Scale our ambitious culture of excellence: Give perspective and paint a compelling vision for our development team to leverage all the brains in our organization to develop the best tech solutions for our customers.
- Stakeholder management & communication: You will be responsible for creating and upholding collaborative relationships with various departments within the company, including Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Operations, and Finance. You’ll be the internal ambassador to communicate on changes and progress throughout the company.
- Discuss Software Engineering Concepts with your engineering counterparts: You should have a basic understanding of modern software engineering practices and principles. This will enable you to communicate effectively with technical team members and understand the technical aspects of the product development process.
- Bias for action: You will facilitate and support agile practices within your team, such as sprint planning, daily standups, and retrospectives. You'll work closely with the lead developer to ensure that the team is functioning effectively, efficiently, and is set up for success. You are used to pushing the pace, destroying bottlenecks and getting annoyed when things move slowly.
