Location: Greater London
Job Description:

About The Company

At VEED, our mission is to make video creation accessible to anyone. No hard‑to‑use equipment, painful learning curve, or keeping track of multiple subscriptions take your ideas from record to share. With VEED, you can do this with a single tool. In just a few years, we’ve gone from one user to millions. From no revenue to $45M+ ARR. From bootstrapped to backed by Sequoia, one of the biggest VC firms in the world. From a team of two to a team of 180+. And we’re seeking more talented, motivated and entrepreneurial individuals to join our growing team.

Where And How We Work

At VEED we are hybrid, enabling teams and individuals to design their day and integrate work and life. For our London, Amsterdam, and Barcelona‑based teammates, we ask that you spend 3 days a week in the office during your first 6 months — it’s the best way to connect, collaborate, and get to know your team. After that, you’ll shift to 1 day a week in the office, with flexibility to choose the day that suits you best.

About The Role

You’ll be the operational and analytical backbone of the Product organization, owning the work that doesn’t sit cleanly with traditional Product Managers, but is critical to running an efficient, high‑performing organisation.

This role is a senior individual contributor position with broad scope, high autonomy, and direct exposure to product leadership.

What You’ll Do

Your work breaks down roughly as:

Product strategy & operations (~60%)

Run high‑impact strategic and operational projects for the product org. Examples include:

  • Working with engineering to design and implement process for software delivery
  • Running cost‑efficiency initiatives and identifying overspend
  • Defining and optimising budgets for AI training and infrastructure cost

Drive cross‑functional programs that don’t clearly belong to any single team.

Commercial & analytical work (~25%)

  • Lead or support negotiations with API and technology providers
  • Partner closely with Product Analytics to ensure data directly informs product strategy, prioritization and decisions
  • Analyze pricing strategies, unit economics, and cost structures
  • Challenge assumptions using data and commercial reasoning
  • Partner with Finance and Product to evaluate trade‑offs and ROI

Strategic support to the CPO (~15%)

  • Act as a thought partner to the CPO on strategic planning
  • Support board materials and leadership‑level decision making
  • Take on ambiguous, high‑leverage work to help the product org run better

This role is designed for a senior individual contributor who drives leverage through strategy, operations, and decision‑making — not through direct product ownership or people management.

You’re a sparring partner who challenges assumptions, closes gaps, and gets important things done.

What Success Looks Like

After 6‑12 months, you’ll have:

  • Helped the product org move faster or operate more efficiently in measurable ways
  • Identified and driven meaningful cost or margin improvements
  • Built trust as a go‑to problem solver for product leadership

What You Bring

  • Experience operating in a fast‑moving start‑up or scale‑up environment
  • Background in top‑tier management consulting, investment banking, investing (VC/PE), or in‑house strategy, finance, or BizOps roles (preferred)
  • Strong analytical judgment — able to challenge assumptions, frame the right questions, and use data to drive decisions
  • A natural sense of ownership, proactively identifying gaps and driving work forward without waiting for direction
  • Solid understanding of how software products are built, shipped, and scaled
  • Strong finance fundamentals, including P&L, unit economics, and cost structures
  • Commercial mindset — comfortable weighing ROI, trade‑offs, and long‑term impact
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity and non‑traditional, evolving scopes
  • Preference for senior individual contributor roles that create leverage across teams rather than through formal people management
  • Resourcefulness in navigating contracts, legal, and commercial topics, even without deep prior specialization

What We Offer

  • Monthly subsidy programme: Everyone values different things, so we give you a monthly allowance to spend how it suits you best — whether that’s on office furniture, childcare, gym memberships, or anything else that makes your life easier.
  • Unlimited paid holidays: Time with family, friends, or just yourself is priceless.
  • Home office set‑up: We make sure your home office is fully equipped with everything you need — laptop, monitors, headsets, keyboards, and more — so you can work comfortably and creatively.
  • Mental health benefit: We’ve partnered with Spill to offer confidential mental health support to all our team members.
  • Equity: When VEED wins, you win. Our stock options let you share in the company growth and be a part of our journey.

Even if you don’t have every skill listed here, we encourage you to apply. We value curiosity, drive, and the ability to learn just as much as existing expertise.

We think what matters is people. After all, a company is just a group of people. We don’t care about where you’re from, what school you went to or where you worked before. If you’ve done exceptional work, we want to hear from you. Join us on our mission to make creative storytelling with video simple and accessible for everyone.
