Define product strategy, coach PMs and Designers, and drive growth as the company scales from Series B to larger ARR. ## Job description The company [Vizzia](https://www.vizzia.com/) is the leading Video-Surveillance-as-a-Service (VSaaS) platform in Europe, equipping cities with intelligent cameras to address two specific problems: illegal waste dumping and public safety. We replaced an industry that had not moved in twenty years. The legacy approach — on-prem servers, multi-month installations, €30k per camera — could not scale. Our quick-deploy 4G/5G cameras install in five minutes on a lamp post, stream continuously, run frugal edge AI, and feed two verticalized SaaS platforms used by local police, waste services, and city operations teams. We were founded in 2022. Today: 160 cities equipped in France and expanding in Europe, €8.8M TCV signed in 2025, 130% NRR, <5% yearly churn, 86% of clients signed without a POC. We just raised €30M in Series B to accelerate our development and be on a path to €100M+ ARR by 2029. The long-term mission is to become the VSaaS leader in Europe — a €10bn+ company in a market currently dominated by hardware constructors and US incumbents (Verkada, Flock, Axon). The product Vizzia is a Hardware × AI × SaaS product. We design and assemble our own quick-deploy 4G/5G edge gateways and cameras. We run our own computer vision models — at the edge for inference, in the cloud for continuous training — for illegal waste dumping detection, license plate recognition, vehicle analytics, and incident investigation. We serve two vertical SaaS platforms on top of that stack: Waste (city services, 80% reduction in dumping year one) and Safety (local police, 10x more investigations solved). The three layers share one common Devices + AI platform. They are designed as one product. A Hardware × AI × SaaS product organization at the stage of a fast-growing Series B European scale-up is a rare combination. If the depth of the product surface is what you have been missing in your last role, it is what this role offers. The challenge Vizzia sits at the transition point where most product organizations either succeed or fail: the move from a tech-led organisation to prove market-fit and traction to an Empowered Product Teams operating model — while the company doubles in ARR every twelve months and scales from ~130 to 300 people in 24 months. What you must steer, as a VP of Product : Build the next chapter of the product organization. The Product function (seven people today, PMs and Designers) has carried Vizzia to 160 cities and a €30M Series B with a delivery-first culture. The next chapter is to layer in the operating model of an empowered product organization: a cascaded product strategy, North Star metrics by squad, continuous discovery as a weekly habit, and a decision-making model where the CTPO can step back from day-to-day arbitration to focus on long-term vision. Install the Product operating model across Hardware, AI, and the two SaaS verticals. Vizzia needs a real product strategy, consistent across all the scope and driving impact aligned with the company objectives. Coach squads to move into teams that own outcomes. Continuous discovery as a team habit. Arbitrage discipline grounded in assumption tests, not opinion. A common language between Devices, Waste, Safety, AI : three layers, one product. Scale this transformation while the company triples. The product function has to be built not just for today's size, but for the size we are racing toward, without losing the operator clarity that made the company successful in the first place. ## The role As a VP of Product, you have 4 main missions: The product strategy. A small number of focused, insight-driven bets across Hardware, AI, and the two SaaS verticals. Aligned with the company strategy, consistent across all the product layers, cascaded so every squad can leverage their impact zone. The product teams. Transforming the current cross-functional teams (PM, Designer, Tech Lead, engineers) into empowered product teams, owning outcomes. You are accountable for the quality of these teams, the discovery they run, and the outcomes they deliver across Devices, Waste, Safety, and AI. The product talent. Recruit, coach, develop a bar of PMs and Designers to the best-practices of the industry. Coaching is an important part of the job, with a team that is eager to progress and already understands the need to transform. The product culture. Vizzia culture is strongly focused on delivery. You will hold a pivotal role into evangelizing the culture of impact and the role of Product as a critical component of the company's growth. The ecosystem Your team. Seven people in the Product function: a Head of Device Products (with 1 PM reporting to her), two customer-centric senior squads PMs, two Designers, an two technical PMs (Infra, AI). The Product & Tech org around you. Three leaders will sit under the CTPO co-founder. You are one of them. - VP Engineering (arriving shortly) — software, cloud, AI engineering, device lifecycle management - Head of Hardware — leading hardware design and engineering - VP Product (you) — Product and Design across the whole stack: Devices, Waste SaaS, Safety SaaS, AI products The three Tech & Product leaders operate as peers. The product strategy you write is what aligns them. The CTPO partnership. You report to the CTPO co-founder. Day to day, it works as a close collaboration. He owns the long-term vision, the market and technology depth he has built over years. You own the strategy execution, the operating model, the teams, the culture. He gives the direction, you give the structure. The executive committee. While you do not sit in the ExCo (Comex), you have direct, standing access to every member (CEO, CSO, CMO, COO, CFO). You lead the Quarterly Product Strategy Review presented to the committee. The committee expects you to operate as a peer, not as a function head who needs to be filtered. ## What we will look for in you You have been a Head of Product or VP of Product before, in a company that went through a similar stage of growth. On the Hardware dimension. Experience shipping an IoT or Hardware-enabled product would be ideal — it would make your first six months substantially easier (arbitrating roadmap trade-offs where a SaaS feature depends on a hardware release that ships every nine to twelve months, holding a coherent product strategy across a slower Hardware cycle and a fast SaaS cycle, speaking honestly with hardware, mechatronics, firmware, and AI engineers). What is non-negotiable is a deep, demonstrable appetite for Hardware. If “BOM”, “firmware OTA”, and "device life-cycle management" make you want to ask more questions rather than change the topic, you have the right instinct. If you have only worked on pure SaaS and you intend to keep it that way, this is not the right company for you. You did not inherit a working product organization, you built one. You can describe, in detail, a product strategy you have written. Not because you read about strategy. Because you wrote one and the company used it. You have killed features and product bets on evidence from discovery. You can name them. You have coached PMs from junior to senior, and from senior to manager. They are still in the field, still doing the work, and they will take your reference call. You can hold a room of executives, in a language they understand. You disagree before decisions, commit after them, and you do not undermine the decision afterwards. ## What we offer A product scope you will not find elsewhere in France. Hardware, embedded AI, cloud platform, two vertical SaaS, owned end-to-end by a single product organization. The depth of the system is the prize. - A company at the stage where building the product function from the ground up still matters and where the work is still small enough that one person can shape it. - A real product solving real public-space problems in real cities, not another B2B SaaS dashboard. - Founders (CEO and CTPO) who understand the importance of this hire. - A compensation package that reflects the seniority of the role, with meaningful equity. - A team of PMs, Designers, and engineers who want a real product leader, and who will know within a week if you are one. Paris-based (Grands Boulevards). Three days a week onsite minimum. If you've read this far, you're probably very interested in the role and/or Vizzia. We'd like to hear from you even if you feel you don't check every box. ## About Vizzia ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Vizzia provides mobile surveillance devices and software that help European local authorities tackle illegal dumping, public safety issues, and anti-social behaviour while respecting privacy and GDPR. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series B, raised ~$58.9M total) - **Headquarters**: Paris, France (51 Rue de Turbigo, 75003) - **Founded**: 2020 - **Founders**: Catherine De Proyart (CEO) and Alexandre Leboucher (CTPO) ## Core Business - Primary industry: Public-sector technology / GovTech / Municipal enforcement - Target customers: B2G – local authorities (towns, cities, councils) and their enforcement teams (municipal police, technical services) - Mission: “Make cities and communities better places to live — cleaner, safer, easier to look for.” ## Products & Services - **Vizzia Waste**: A hardware + software solution to detect and stop illegal dumping.

Emphasis on inventing, simplifying, and amplifying the team rather than optimizing one’s own lane. - **Team Size**: ~130 people with a “strong growth ahead” – opportunity to have outsized impact as the company scales. - **Location & Flexibility**: Headquarters in central Paris (51 Rue de Turbigo). Remote/hybrid policy not specified, but the team is European and product‑focused. - **Mission‑Driven**: Directly improving quality of life in communities – a concrete, visible impact that appeals to people who want their work to matter beyond the bottom line. ## Sources 1.
