Head of Product

MissionThe way businesses buy software and services is completely broken. Whether it’s SaaS, hardware, or contractors, the average B2B purchase takes over 3 months, requires 50+ emails, and involves multiple different stakeholders (IT, Legal, InfoSec, Finance, etc.). No one likes the way it is and it’s slowing businesses down.Omnea’s platform handles the entire purchasing process: giving employees an easy place to make requests (Intake), managing the necessary approvals for the purchase to be made (Approvals Engine), and automating all renewals management & supplier risk assessments. And Omnea gives finance & procurement leaders visibility into how money is being spent.Given the current market downturn & increased focus on capital efficiency, there has never been a more vital time for businesses to use Omnea and get control of their spend. This is Spend Control 2.0 — built for tougher times.We are looking for an experienced & exceptional product leader to be our Head of Product.

We’ve built an incredible & passionate team — every member was a top performer at their previous business (Cazoo, Primer, Freetrade etc.), and I went on a similar journey with Tessian six years ago, driving revenue from $0-30m+ ARR, and from pre-seed to Series C (Sequoia, Accel, etc.).Now we need someone to own everything ‘Product’, ensuring we remain a product-led business.
