Jobs Kyiv, Chief Product Officer (CPO)

Our client is a defense holding scaling into a management structure with verticals in optics, communications, and strike systems (Deep Strike). The company develops and mass-produces a line of UAVs – ranging from reconnaissance drones to long-range solutions that change the situation in the field every day.

We are looking for a leader who will be responsible for defining and executing a unified product strategy across the group of companies, ensuring the transition from R&D development to serial production and the scaling of products.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement a unified product strategy across all companies and product lines within the group, ensuring alignment between key verticals (optics, communications, electronics, UAV systems).
• Ensure the transition of products from the R&D stage to serial production and their scaling to thousands of units.
• Coordinate collaboration between R&D centers and production sites to ensure a smooth transition from development to serial manufacturing and the implementation of product changes.
• Manage the full product portfolio lifecycle across the group of companies - from concept to serial production and ongoing support.
• Coordinate the work of product teams and technical leads across different companies within the group.
• Ensure alignment between product teams and the Head of Experience Officer to incorporate field feedback into future product iterations.
• Participate in decisions regarding the inclusion of new products and technologies in the group portfolio based on market needs, battlefield feedback, and strategic priorities.
• Report to the group leadership on the status of product initiatives, key metrics, and development outlook.

• Align product roadmaps with production capabilities, procurement processes, and supply chain constraints.

   

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in a CPO or Product Director position in complex Hardware + Software projects (MilTech or the aerospace sector).
• Deep understanding of the production lifecycle of high–tech products.
• Ability to transform chaotic market (front–line) requests into clear technical tasks and product backlogs.
• Experience in scaling products from the R&D stage to serial production (1,000+ units).

• English – B2+ (for working with international suppliers and technical documentation).

   

Company Offer

• Official employment and military reservation from day one (under a Diia City contract)
• Competitive salary corresponding to the level of responsibility and complexity of tasks.
• Opportunity to manage a portfolio of dozens of innovative products within a single holding.
• Autonomy in making product decisions and the absence of bureaucratic micromanagement.
• 24 days of annual leave, sick leave compensation, corporate English classes, and 7 additional days off per year.

Head of Product / VP of Product (Coreblocks)

About This Role At Coreblocks, we're building a financial platform designed for One — the individual business owner, creator, or freelancer — rather than viewing users as abstract market segments or balance sheets. People come first, not metrics. You will take complete ownership of scaling our product ecosystem from zero to one, starting with our core licensed foundation and expanding into an agentic financial ecosystem. Working alongside the founders, you'll drive strategic direction with high autonomy while maintaining organizational alignment across all teams.

What You'll Drive

• Zero-to-One Product Delivery: Lead the end-to-end strategy and execution of regulated financial products, prioritizing rapid value delivery over premature optimization.
• Product & Team Leadership: Build, mentor, and empower a world-class product org. Foster a high-performance culture grounded in data-driven decisions and low-ego collaboration.
• Agentic Banking Architecture: Design an autonomous agent-first financial infrastructure, embedding AI as an operating core rather than treating it as a secondary feature.
• Scope Discipline & Execution: Maintain tight control over delivery schedules under pressure. Deliberately trim scope to protect build quality and hit core licensing milestones on time.
• Regulatory Integration: Treat compliance, licensing, and audit frameworks as core product inputs, turning regulatory constraints into seamless user experiences.
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner closely with the CTO to balance product vision with engineering feasibility and architectural boundaries.
• Organizational Alignment: Serve as the central point of clarity for product vision, translating customer needs and business rationale across all teams.

What We Expect

• Regulated Startup Background: Proven experience launching regulated financial products from scratch in fintech, crypto, custodian, or digital banking spaces. Working knowledge of regulatory frameworks like VARA, MiCA, EMI, or PI.
• Adaptability in Fast-Paced Environments: Ability to navigate continuous delivery setups, remaining decisive amid shifting deadlines, investor expectations, and regulatory changes.
• Agentic System Literacy: Deep conceptual and practical understanding of AI agent architectures, safety guardrails, and deterministic execution on the transaction path.
• Cross-Domain Expertise: Strong familiarity spanning crypto systems, legacy banking infrastructure, and modern fintech platforms.
• Outcome Ownership: Focus on measurable OKRs and business outcomes rather than feature-factory output. High comfort level with autonomy and cross-team collaboration.
• Clear & Convincing Communication: Strong data-backed conviction, ability to reduce ambiguity, and a "disagree and commit" mindset when aligning with corporate direction.
• English Proficiency: Professional-level written and spoken English for seamless global team collaboration.

This Role Is Not For You If

• You want an established product with a massive user base for running A/B tests. We are building strictly from zero.
• You come from traditional enterprise banking where small changes require multi-tier committee approvals.
• You view financial regulations as unnecessary administrative friction rather than foundational product inputs.
• You prefer executing static feature roadmaps over negotiating scope to protect quality and deadlines.

• You need founder permission for every product call. You will be given high autonomy—and the accountability that comes with it.

   

Bonus Points

• Founder Background: Experience as a founder or founding product lead at a regulated fintech startup.
• Agentic Track Record: Hands-on experience taking live, agent-centric products to market.
• AI-Augmented Workflow: Active daily use of AI agents, personal knowledge management tools, or "second brain" frameworks to optimize your personal execution.
