Your Role

As Ex Commercial Founder at fonio, you own one of our products. You're not just shaping the roadmap; you're accountable for the commercial success of the product. Strategy, positioning, go-to-market, and growth all sit with you.

You'll operate like a mini-CEO for your product: making the calls, running the experiments, and carrying the numbers. You won't do it alone: you're paired with a technical counterpart and together you own the product.

What you'll do

  • Own a product - from strategy and roadmap to go-to-market and revenue

  • Define positioning, pricing, and the commercial strategy for your product

  • Work directly with engineering, design, sales, and marketing to ship and grow fast

  • Own the metrics that matter - adoption, retention, and revenue - and be accountable for them

  • Run discovery: talk to customers, validate problems, and decide what gets built

What We Offer

  • Up to €150.000 OTE + equity.

  • On-site in Vienna, Munich, Barcelona or London - relocation package to Vienna if needed.

  • Real ownership of a fonio product: you get to essentially work like an entrepreneur inside of fonio.

  • Maximum autonomy - you run your product like your own company.

  • Everything you need to be successful - if you need it - you´ll get it.

What You Bring

  • Demonstrated track record as a founder or commercial owner - you've built and launched a B2B SaaS product & owned it end to end from the commercial side.

  • Strong commercial instinct: you think in terms of markets, customers, and revenue

  • Comfortable operating with high ambiguity and no predefined structure

  • Sharp analytical thinking paired with a bias for execution

  • Excellent communication in English; German is a strong plus given our DACH focus

  • Bonus: experience with AI products, B2B SaaS, or voice technology
