Currently we are looking for the Head of Product!

About the role:

The Head of Product is a senior leadership role responsible for shaping and executing the end-to-end product strategy across Cetin International's portfolio of telecommunications infrastructure and managed services. Reporting directly to the Chief Commercial Officer (or equivalent C-level), this role leads a team of Product Managers and owns the entire product lifecycle — from market intelligence and concept development through to commercial launch, performance optimization, and sunset.

The ideal candidate combines deep telco domain expertise, strategic vision, and strong people leadership skills, with a proven track record of growing B2B and/or wholesale product portfolios in international markets.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Product Strategy & Vision

Defining and driving the multi-year product roadmap for Cetin International's portfolio, including infrastructure services (dark fibre, co-location, backhaul), managed connectivity (SD-WAN, MPLS, Private 5G), IoT, and cloud-enabled services.
Translating corporate strategy and market intelligence into actionable product initiatives aligned with revenue, margin, and market share objectives.
Prioritizing the product portfolio based on customer value, competitive positioning, and strategic fit across all active markets.

Team Leadership & Development

Building, mentoring, and leading a high-performing, cross-market team of Product Managers.
Setting clear objectives, KPIs, and career development paths for direct reports.
Fostering a culture of customer-centricity, data-driven decision-making, and continuous innovation within the product organization.

Market & Customer Intelligence

Overseeing ongoing competitive benchmarking, market analysis, and trend monitoring across CEE markets (5G infrastructure sharing, open RAN, neutral host models, edge computing, etc.).
Working closely with Sales, Key Account Management, and Customer Success teams to synthesize customer insights and translate them into product requirements.
Engaging directly with strategic customers and partners to validate product concepts and gather feedback.

Go-to-Market & Commercialization

Owning pricing strategies, business models, and commercial structures for the full product portfolio (e.g., capacity-based pricing, subscription bundles, SLA tiers).
Collaborating with Marketing, Sales Engineering, and Legal to develop compelling go-to-market materials, propositions, and sales enablement assets.
Leading product launches across multiple markets, ensuring alignment with local regulatory and commercial requirements.

Cross-functional Collaboration

Acting as the primary bridge between technical teams (Network Engineering, IT, Operations) and commercial functions (Sales, Finance, Marketing, Legal).
Driving alignment with the Cetin Group product organization and parent company initiatives where relevant.
Representing the product function in executive forums, board presentations, and external industry events.

Financial & Performance Management

Owning the P&L accountability for the product portfolio, including revenue forecasting, budget management, and profitability tracking.
Defining and monitoring product KPIs (revenue growth, ARPU, churn, NPS, time-to-market, adoption rates).
Identifying opportunities for product rationalization, portfolio simplification, and cost optimization.

What We’re Looking For:

Education: University degree in Telecommunications, IT, Business, Economics, or a related field; MBA or equivalent postgraduate qualification is an advantage.
Experience: Minimum 5 years of experience in product management or product leadership roles in the telecommunications or technology sector, with at least 3 years of leadership/managerial capacity.
Telco Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of telecommunications products and infrastructure — including mobile networks (4G/5G), fixed broadband, fibre infrastructure, SD-WAN, private networks, IoT, and wholesale/B2B services.
International Experience: Demonstrated experience working across multiple CEE or European markets, with an understanding of regional regulatory environments and market dynamics.
Commercial Acumen: Strong experience with pricing strategies, business case development, and P&L management.
Leadership Skills: Proven ability to lead, inspire, and develop cross-functional, multicultural teams in a matrixed organisation.
Analytical Mindset: Ability to translate complex data sets, market research, and financial models into clear strategic decisions.
Communication & Stakeholder Management: Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting to C-suite and board-level audiences.
