Product Owner - SOUS Spotlight

About SOUS

SOUS is growing the leading commerce platform for F&B operators!

We empower restaurants, chefs, and F&B brands to get discovered, convert demand, and grow revenue through a single stack built for growth.

Spotlight is our Visibility Engine for SOUS Merchants, and the start of the customer journey: GEO, listings optimisation, review management, local SEO, and discovery analytics, all designed to become the default growth layer for hospitality businesses.

The Role

We’re hiring a Product Owner to own Spotlight end-to-end; from strategy to execution.

You will define how millions of diners discover independent F&B brands and how those brands grow their own demand automatically.

What You’ll Do

Product Strategy & Vision

• Define the long-term vision for Spotlight as a category-defining visibility platform for F&B
• Translate company strategy into product strategy, roadmap, and OKRs
• Identify and prioritise opportunities across SEO, listings, reviews, AI insights, and discovery

Execution & Delivery

• Own the Spotlight roadmap and backlog
• Write product requirements and work closely with engineering and design
• Prioritise based on impact to merchant acquisition, activation, and expansion

Growth & Commercial Impact

• Drive adoption of Spotlight across SOUS merchants and partners (POS, marketplaces, platforms)
• Partner with Growth, Sales, and Partnerships to design upsell and bundling strategies
• Track and optimise key metrics: Spotlight ARPU, activation, retention, and expansion

AI & Data-Driven Product

• Work with data and AI teams to build insights, automation, and recommendations for merchants
• Define merchant-facing analytics and dashboards that show visibility ROI
• Shape the roadmap toward autonomous growth features (e.g., AI-driven listings optimisation)

Stakeholder Leadership

• Align leadership, engineering, design, and commercial teams around Spotlight priorities
• Act as the internal champion for Visibility as a strategic pillar of SOUS

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have

• 2 - 5+ years as a Product Manager (SaaS, marketplace, growth tech, or data products)
• Proven experience shipping B2B or platform products with measurable business impact
• Strong product sense: ability to translate user problems into scalable systems, deep customer empathy
• Experience in SEO, local search, marketplaces, or discovery platforms
• Experience working with design, engineering, and analytics teams
• Comfortable with ambiguity and startup pace

Nice-to-Have (High Signal)

• Exposure to AI/ML-driven product features or data platforms
• Background in hospitality tech, e-commerce, or fintech platforms
• Experience with product-led growth or SaaS pricing/packaging

• Competitive base salary aligned with experience and market
• Strong, uncapped commission structure tied directly to impact
• Equity upside for strong performers as the market scales
• Flexibility in working arrangement and regular in-person time
• Direct exposure to founders and real influence on company direction
• High ownership role with clear growth trajectory
• The opportunity to scale a live market, not start from zero
• A fast-moving, ambitious team building a category-defining product in food & hospitality

Why Join SOUS

You’ll be joining at a defining moment.

We are building a full-stack growth platform for hospitality, with Spotlight as the front door to every merchant’s journey. This role sits at the centre of that evolution and will shape how thousands of F&B brands are discovered and grow.

You’ll have real ownership, direct impact on company strategy, and the opportunity to build a category-defining product used by ambitious hospitality brands across Europe and beyond.

If you’re excited about building products that drive real revenue for real businesses — and want to help shape the future of how F&B brands grow — we’d love to hear from you.
