Job Description

Product · Bratislava-Slovakia · Hybrid

Company overview

team.blue is an ecosystem of 60+ successful brands working together across 22 European countries to provide its 3.5 million SMB customers with everything they need to succeed online by offering best-in-class expertise and services.

team.blue's brands are a mix of traditional hosting businesses that offer services from domain names, email, shared hosting, e-commerce, and server hosting solutions and, as specialist SaaS providers, adjacent products such as compliance, marketing tools, and team collaboration products. This broad product offering makes it a one-stop partner for online businesses and entrepreneurs across Europe.

About the job

You'll be the connective tissue between strategy and execution for some of our most ambitious platform consolidation initiatives in the team.blue Nordics & CEE (Centreal Eastern Europe) region. Working across several teams, brands, markets & platforms.

This role sits above individual product teams and focuses on making sure the right problems are prioritized, decisions are made at the right level, and product teams & stakeholders are aligned. The role has no direct reports and operates through trust, influence, and product judgment.

You'll spend your time removing blockers, facilitating decisions, connecting the right people, and providing strategic guidance, not managing individual product backlogs. Think of it as being a player coach: strategic enough to shape quarterly plans, tactical enough to jump in when teams need fast decisions or clarity.

Key Responsibilities:

Own product portfolio prioritization for Platform

  • Maintain a clear, up-to-date view of all Product platform initiatives

  • Define and continuously adjust portfolio-level priorities based on strategy, capacity, and dependencies

  • Act as the decision owner when priorities are unclear or conflicting, and escalate when needed

Lead quarterly planning and roadmap alignment

  • Lead the quarterly planning process for product teams together with Head of Development & Project Management Lead

  • Challenge scope, priorities, and feasibility to ensure priorities are followed & realistic plans

  • Consolidate team roadmaps into a single, coherent portfolio view

  • Communicate priorities, plans, and trade-offs to leadership and key stakeholders

Enable alignment across teams & Stakeholders

  • Work closely with Product Managers to align on what to work on and why

  • Identify and resolve cross-team dependencies and conflicts early

  • Ensure alignment between product teams, stakeholders and adjacent platform teams

Improve ways of working across product teams

  • Drive improvements to product ways of working (planning, prioritization, decision-making, and cross-team collaboration) to increase clarity, speed, and quality of outcomes

  • Introduce lightweight frameworks, rituals, or tools where needed, without adding unnecessary process

  • Act as a champion of consistent product practices across product teams, while respecting team autonomy

Act as senior product sparring partner

  • Support Product Managers with problem framing, research direction, and prioritization

  • Help teams prepare decisions by clarifying options, assumptions, and trade-offs

  • Take lead on initiatives that span multiple teams

Ensure clarity and follow-through

  • Make sure priorities, decisions, and plans are clearly documented and visible

  • Follow up on cross-team actions and unresolved decisions

  • Follow up on product initiatives

What you bring:

  • ~5 years in product management, with experience coordinating across multiple teams

  • Comfort with ambiguity - authority in this role comes from influence, not hierarchy

  • Strategic thinking + tactical execution - you can shape a quarterly plan and also clear a blocker in Jira

  • Strong facilitation skills - you help teams make good decisions, not just make decisions for them

  • Technical fluency - you don't need to code, but you understand how technical tradeoffs influence decision making

  • Excellent communication - you translate between technical teams, business stakeholders, and leadership

Nice-to-haves:

  • Experience with platform migrations or large-scale technical programs

  • Background in the web hosting industry

  • Prior experience coaching or supporting other PM
