Data-driven VP of Product at Grandhood

Ambitious and data-driven VP of Product that wants to join a rapidly scaling and well funded FinTech startup on a mission to revolutionise the pension fund industry internationally.

The Desired Candidate for the Job

You are experienced in running a data-driven product-setup, where digital acquisition and customer service plays a crucial role. Grandhood is delivering an occupational pension plan for SMEs and their employees. Thus, we are truly B2B-2C and therefore we also have two important conversions to maximize, i.e. the business owners and the employees. Moreover, increasing savings rates is an important KPI. You need to have experience in building a mobile first product with an extraordinary track record of maximizing conversion rates both on businesses and end-users.

You understand the chaos and lack of structure that describes a start-up and enjoys seeking the opportunities that it provides. You are turned on by the high ambitions and growth expectations and sees it as an attractive challenge to build up an international company from “nothing”. As important as your background, we focus on your leadership approach and competencies in order to take on this role.  

You might have a software engineering background with a solid understanding of data analysis, commercialisation of digital products and business strategy. You are obsessed with customers and everything you do is centered around building a customer experience that is second to none.  

The Grandhood vision  

You have your Childhood, Adulthood and finally your Grandhood. Grandhood is on a mission to make your grandhood as cool and financially secure as possible with the freedom to do what you love. Grandhood is the world’s first 100% digital, flexible and simple pension savings solution designed for small companies and their employees.

Being a start-up, Grandhood has been very fortunate to have solid investors like SEED Capital, Heartcore Capital (formerly Sunstone Capital) and Austrian-based Speedinvest investing in the company and thus you will join a startup with a solid long term business plan.

As VP of Product you will play a key role in the expansion of Grandhood, where you will drive the overall strategy of Product, but also thrive on more operational tasks. You will run our Product team, be part of management and report to the CEO. Furthermore, you will have cross-organisational touch points, e.g. Tech, Marketing and Asset Management.

You will be responsible for building a data-driven Product setup and the following must be known territory for the right candidate:

Hard skills needed:

• Develop a digital Product strategy
• Scale product offering and teams
• Demo early and often to keep things on track, motivate and inspire
• Excellent communicator
• Strong background in Project Management work
• Experience in agile methods and daily scrum team management
• Solid understanding of Software Engineering
• Experienced in developing product road maps
• Understands how to tie Product, Marketing and Tech together
• Collect and analyse data – including Cohort Analysis
• Experienced in interpreting data and turning insights into action
• Mixpanel, Zendesk, HubSpot, Jira, Asana etc.
• Develop dashboards with relevant key metrics and focus with KPI’s

• TransferWise
• PensionBee
• Nutmeg
• TINK
• iZettle
• Klarna
• Pleo
• LunarWay

You work in a similar role in companies like these, but your career ladder has kind of plateaued and now you are just one out of many product employees. You want more responsibility and greater influence, and the chance to partake in rapid scaling and internationalisation. Sounds good? Then this opportunity is just right for you!

• Flexible work: working from home when you want, where you want (we trust you)

Working at Grandhood means you're working on something very exciting: the future of pensions! Through fintech we've seen a way to impact how people save for their third age; we think occupational pension plans should be seamless and fairly priced for small and medium sized companies and their employees. That also means that is should be as automated and time saving as possible, while encouraging employers and employees alike to start save for their third age in a meaningful way. Hence, we also serve a socio-economic purpose, which is to even out third age income inequality!
