Job Description

Senior Product Manager at Randstad Global [Europe]

Location: Remote Europe

About – Randstad’s Digital Marketplace

We are building the future of work for blue collar talent. At Randstad, this is more than digitizing staffing. We are creating a global, mobile-first platform where finding your next shift feels as easy as booking a ride or ordering a pizza.

Our digital marketplace connects talent and employers in 38 countries, removing friction, unlocking flexibility, and enabling growth. Whether you want stable weekly hours or prefer to decide each day where to work, Randstad puts you in control of your working life.

Behind the scenes, we bring together global scale and local insight. With smart matching, real-time availability, and continuous learning, we empower both talent and clients to thrive.

This is not a pilot. This is not legacy tech. This is Randstad going all in on product. If you are ready to help build the most human digital work platform in the world, we would love to have you with us.

What we expect from Senior Product Managers

Senior Product Managers at Randstad imagine the ideal experience for our talent and clients. They think beyond features and take full ownership of a product area that touches thousands of people every day. We see them as CEOs of their product experience, responsible for making it valuable, scalable and inspiring to use.

In this role, strategy and execution come together. You shape product vision through deep user understanding, data and market insight. You translate that vision into clear priorities and lead teams to deliver outcomes that matter.

You are both the voice of the user and a trusted partner to the business. You collaborate with engineering, design, operations and local markets to accelerate progress. You guide discovery efforts, remove blockers, and bring clarity in complexity.

Senior Product Managers lead by example. You mentor others, raise the bar for quality and impact, and help focus the team on what truly matters. You move between high level thinking and hands on delivery with ease. You bring energy, ownership and the ability to turn ideas into real, working solutions.

This is a role for product leaders who are ready to shape the future of work, one shift at a time.

The Difference You Will Make

We are transforming our talent app from a transactional tool into a product with a strong functional and emotional experience. As a Senior Product Manager in the discovery space, you will lead this shift.

Your team helps talent find their next best shift, whether they are new to our platform or already part of our pool. This journey is central to our marketplace and deeply connected to the client side. We are looking for product leaders with a clear vision of what great UX looks like. You know how to simplify complexity, inspire users, and create journeys that drive both confidence and action.

This is not just about finding work. It is about helping people move forward, one shift at a time.
