VP Product Management

Alpega Group is looking for a VP of Product Management, reporting directly to the CEO, working across the product portfolio, Shipper, Carrier, and Platform. This role will ideally be based in Barcelona (hybrid), with the option to be based across Europe. 

WHO WE ARE

Alpega Group is a European leader in end-to-end transportation management solutions, bringing together modular SaaS products that enable shippers, carriers, and logistics partners to operate more efficiently and sustainably. Our portfolio includes cutting-edge Transport Management Systems and Europe's leading Freight Exchange platforms. With 35+ years of industry expertise and over 40 nationalities working with us to drive success, we are committed to transforming logistics while contributing to a greener, more connected supply chain.

As we continue to expand our footprint across Europe and support customers with increasingly complex logistics ecosystems, strategic account management becomes a critical lever for long-term business growth and customer success. Our ability to deeply understand customer needs, influence executive stakeholders, and deliver measurable business outcomes is essential to our expansion.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Alpega is entering a new phase of its development. The strategy is clear, the market opportunity is significant, and the product portfolio is central to how the company will grow and scale from here.

The Vice President of Product will be responsible for shaping and executing Alpega's product strategy across its portfolio, while rebuilding a strong, disciplined, and outcome-oriented product organization.

This is a senior leadership role with a transformational mandate: bringing focus to the portfolio, raising the bar on product management capabilities, and ensuring strategy translates into fast, high-quality execution.

 Core responsibilities

• Product Portfolio Ownership: Own and manage the entire product portfolio lifecycle, from strategy and positioning to investment, scaling, and retirement, ensuring a clear focus on long-term value and high-impact, differentiated products.
• Team Leadership & Development: Rebuild and lead a high-performing, professional product management organization by setting clear standards, strengthening the team's capabilities, and fostering a culture of ownership and impact.
• Strategic Execution: Define the product strategy in alignment with executive leadership, translating it into focused, executable roadmaps that balance near-term delivery with long-term platform investments.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Drive execution and maintain product coherence by building strong, trust-based partnerships with Engineering, Commercial, and Customer teams.
• Data-Driven Prioritization: Make and communicate clear, data-informed prioritization decisions and trade-offs to drive execution velocity and ensure resources are focused on the most critical initiatives.

You need to be comfortable saying "no" more times than "yes".

What success looks like within six months:

• A focused, well-articulated product portfolio with clear priorities and ownership
• Fewer initiatives, delivered more predictably, with visible customer and commercial impact
• A strengthened, confident product leadership team
• Improved alignment and trust between Product, Engineering, and Commercial functions
• Clear executive confidence in product decisions and trade-offs

• Proven ownership of complex product portfolios
• Track record of building or transforming product management teams
• Experience working closely with engineering leadership in technically complex environments
• Exposure to platform, marketplace, or network-effect businesses is a strong advantage

Leadership attributes

• Strong judgment in ambiguous situations
• Ability to make and communicate clear prioritization decisions
• Structured, outcome-oriented thinking
• Comfortable engaging in healthy debate at executive level
• Calm, credible leadership style that builds trust across functions

WHAT WE OFFER YOU

• A Competitive package with the right sales incentives
• A flexible working model
• Work in an international environment with 40+ nationalities and a dynamic, scaling SaaS business.

Why this role matters
