A PayTech startup in the HoReCa industry is preparing for relaunch and is looking for a Product Owner to take operational ownership and lead the product from its current version to multi-market rollout across the EU — and later to a global launch.

The project already has a well-thought-out UX/UI, but it needs a “rejuvenation therapy” to align with 2025 realities.

The startup is founded by a team with successful FinTech ventures across the post-Soviet region and the UAE.

Your Responsibilities

• Product relaunch: audit current UX/UI and refresh the design.
• Together with founders — shape the product vision and roadmap (Europe → Global).
• Develop and execute the go-to-market strategy, and assist in hiring a CMO.
• Collaborate with the future CTO and dev team: prioritize features, manage backlog, and control delivery timelines.
• Form and hire a new product team from scratch.

Requirements

• Proven experience launching products or major features from concept to release in the EU market.
• Experience in online–offline hybrid products — ideally in Foodtech or HoReCa.
• Understanding of payment systems, basic compliance, and EU fintech regulation. (Bonus: direct FinTech experience.)
• 5+ years of experience in Product Management / Ownership.
• Fluent Russian and strong English.

Also important:

• Business-oriented mindset and ownership mentality.
• Understanding of product marketing and sales; plus — experience with CustDev and competitor analysis.
