VP Product (Berlin based. Relocation provided)

Choco is on a mission to enable the global food system to become sustainable by optimizing the way food is sold, ordered, distributed, and financed. Our AI-focused software connects distributors with their customers to operate waste-free and efficiently. A problem of this magnitude requires a massive scale and only the best people will be able to solve it. Are you in?

Here’s what we’re up to: https://bit.ly/4fyXonB

As VP Product you are building the heart of Choco - the product that creates value for our users. You will drive execution across multiple teams, build for multiple ICPs across multiple geographies. You are an execution machine, truly own our product pipeline and make sure we are always shipping. You are consistently aligning our EPD teams and build a true force of constant delivery. In everything you do you put user value first. You work directly with our users to inform your intuition and expect the same for your teams.

Together with our CEO you develop our product vision, and together with engineering and product design teams you execute on it. You will lead and inspire a team of highly skilled and motivated Product Managers and Product Designers. You will attract, train and retain world-class talent and never compromise.

We are a product-first company, and the expectations towards our VP Product is to further amplify this. Your role is vital and will be the difference between achieving our vision of building a sustainable food system or not.
