At Brevo, we’re not just building a CRM. With our technology, **we’re helping millions of organizations build lasting relationships with their customers.** From emails and SMS to WhatsApp, Chat, and Marketing Automation, **our tools are intuitive, powerful, and built to scale with every ambition.** We give businesses a clear view of the customer journey, so they can focus on what matters: connection. As a **certified B Corp**, we’re proud to grow with purpose, committed to high standards of social and environmental impact, not just performance. Today, more than **500,000 businesses** across **180 countries**—from NGOs like Amnesty International to global brands like Carrefour, eBay, Louis Vuitton, and Michelin—trust Brevo to engage their audiences, cut through complexity, and deliver results.

As Head of Product Engineering, you will own the vision, roadmap execution and operational excellence of your Business Unit — with a product-first lens. You will form a tight leadership duo with the BU General Manager, co-owning the BU strategy, product and engineering roadmap, KPIs and P&L impact. This is a rare role at the intersection of product thinking and engineering leadership — for someone equally comfortable setting product direction, driving prioritisation decisions and representing their BU in front of customers and senior leadership. ### Your impact at Brevo: - Own the product vision, roadmap and operational excellence of your BU — ensuring every engineering effort is directly tied to customer needs and business outcomes - Co-own the BU strategy with the General Manager, including tech and product roadmap, engineering KPIs and P&L impact - Set clear product direction aligned with Brevo's broader strategy, making trade-offs explicit and communicating priorities with clarity - Collaborate strongly with the Engineering team to align on shared platforms, common services and reusable patterns - Build and develop a high-performing, distributed team across product and engineering — fostering a culture of ownership and continuous improvement - Work hand in hand with Sales, Marketing, Customer Success and Finance to ensure product strategy reflects market and business realities - Monitor product and engineering KPIs, identify risks early and drive corrective action before they impact customers or the business - Champion the use of AI tools and emerging technologies within your team — both in the product and in ways of working ### Who you are: - 8 to 12 years of experience in a product leadership role, in a B2B SaaS or tech environment, with a track record of shipping products that drive measurable business outcomes - Strong product sense: ability to identify what matters most for customers and translate complex needs into clear, prioritised roadmaps - Engineering credibility: technically literate enough to engage in architecture discussions, challenge trade-offs and earn the trust of senior engineers - Strategic mindset: ability to connect product decisions to revenue and retention outcomes and influence senior stakeholders without direct authority - Proven experience building and growing high-performing, cross-functional teams including in distributed or international settings - Strong execution discipline: comfortable in the details as much as at the strategic level; able to drive clarity and keep teams moving - Fluency in English, with French as strong plus ### Why people love working at Brevo: **A place to grow, together:** Join an international team in a bright, collaborative office located in a vibrant neighborhood. **Practical perks for everyday balance:** RTT days off, 50% public transport reimbursement, Sustainable Mobility Package (whether you ride a classic bike or go electric, we support your choice to commute greener) and daily Swile meal vouchers (€12.50/day). **Learning, every step of the way:** Access to English classes and 155,000+ courses on Udemy, plus a strong internal culture of knowledge-sharing and support. **Flexible for life:** A remote-friendly setup, budget to support your home workspace, and relocation assistance for international talents. **Wellbeing that works:** Top-notch private healthcare (70% covered), 6-week second-parent leave, extra time off if your child is sick and needs you, and several services related to prevention, health and personal and professional well-being on Welii platform. **A culture that cares:** From inter-office trips to regular team events, there are plenty of ways to connect beyond your day-to-day. You'll also find active social, green, and LGBTQIA+ communities, plus Work Council benefits via Leeto, all here to support what matters to you, inside and outside of work. ### Our candidate journey: - Introductory interview with Head of Talent Acquisition - Interview with CMO/BU General Manager - Interview with CTO - Case study presentation at the office - Final interview with CEO
