Head of Product, Public Charging

Are you ready to own the Pulic Charging product line at the heart of Europe’s charging network, the platform thousands of operators use to efficiently and commercially viable operate their networks, and that lets drivers charge seamlessly across borders? We’re looking for a Head of Product, Public Charging to lead our Public Charging product area – defining strategy, designing the roadmap, creating competitive advantage for our CPO customers, and turning regulation into scalable, durable advantage.

About Us

Virta is Europe’s fastest-growing electric vehicle charging platform, operating in 36+ countries with 600,000+ charging stations. Headquartered in Helsinki, with offices in Berlin, Stockholm, Paris and Singapore we’re shaping the future of e-mobility with a talented, multinational team. Virta is among the rare 65 companies that made the FT 1000 list four consecutive times.

The Role

As Head of Product Public Charging, you’ll be the strategic owner of one of Virta’s most commercially important product areas. Public Charging sits at the intersection of charge point operators, e-mobility service providers, drivers, and our charging platform – and you’ll be the person connecting all of them.

You’ll define where Public Charging goes next, lead disciplined discovery to find the highest-impact bets to drive both efficiency and utilisation for our customers’ networks. All in true partnership with Engineering and Design to ship reliably while keeping room for rapid iteration. This is a senior product leadership role for someone who thinks in systems, communicates with structure, and gets energy from turning complex commercial, technical, and regulatory realities into clean, scalable product offerings.

What You’ll Do

• Own the Public Charging strategy and roadmap: Evolve the strategy and product roadmap across CPO and eMSP, balancing operator needs, regulatory obligations, utilisation mechanisms and scalable product architecture.

• Drive product discovery: Run discovery cycles to sharpen propositions and identify high-impact opportunities ahead of the market.

• Partner cross-functionally: Work closely with other Product Managers as well as Finance, Sales, Operations, and Energy Services to define commercial models and enable adoption at scale.

• Prioritise with discipline: Evaluate customer and partner requests based on strategic value, commercial viability, regulatory necessity, technical feasibility and long-term product health. All in the spirit of building the right product.

• Communicate with structure: Communicate with impact to foster proactive stakeholder alignment.Partner with Product Marketing to ensure we make some noise about our product.

• Guide delivery with engineering: Partner with engineering to drive disciplined execution while preserving the flexibility to iterate quickly when signals or regulation demand it.

• Build the rollout muscle: Develop and maintain rollout templates, enablement frameworks, and KPIs that measure adoption and inform the next cycle.

• Represent Public Charging: Be the strategic owner and face of Public Charging – connecting operators, drivers, engineering, and commercial teams around a shared direction.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a senior product leader (Head of Product, Group PM, or Principal PM) owning a B2B or B2B2C product area end to end.

• Strong commercial instincts; you’ve shaped pricing, packaging, and go-to-market models alongside Sales and Finance.

• A track record of turning complex, high-variance, or regulated demand into scalable, productised offerings.

• Disciplined product discovery skills: hypothesis-driven, evidence-based, and unafraid to kill ideas that don’t earn their place on the roadmap.

• Excellent structured communication: you lead with clarity in writing, in decision forums, and in front of executive and partner audiences.

• Experience working closely with engineering teams in an agile environment, balancing predictable delivery with rapid iteration.

• Excellent communication skills in English.

• Willingness to travel/work onsite on a regular basis (hybrid working).

• Residency and work authorization in Europe are required. The position may be based in Finland, Sweden, France, or Germany.

Nice to Have

• Experience in EV charging, energy, mobility, payments, or adjacent regulated B2B platform sectors.

• Familiarity with charging commercial and interoperability models (tariffs, roaming, settlements, OCPI, NAPs, AFIR etc.).

• Experience scaling products across multiple European markets and operator ecosystems.

• Background working with white-label, multi-tenant, or integration-heavy product architectures.

Why Join Us

• Own a product area at the heart of Europe’s e-mobility transition – with visible commercial impact.

• A leadership culture that values honesty over hype: realistic commitments, evidence-based decisions, and direct communication.

• Real autonomy to shape strategy, not just execute someone else’s roadmap.

• International, passionate team spread across our European offices and beyond.

• Hybrid work with autonomy and flexibility.
