Head of Product

Build the Future of Messaging with Balsio
Location: Riga, Latvia (Startup House Riga) | Full-time | On-site preferred

Published: August 21, 2026

Too many work conversations happen in personal chat apps. Balsio is a better place for them: you reach people by work email instead of phone number, chats stay organised by team, client or project, and you close them when they are done.

We are built and hosted in Europe and backed by European investors, including DIG Ventures, Change Ventures, Tiny Supercomputer, Tesonet, FIRSTPICK and more. We ship to iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, web and an open API. We work closely with users and release product updates often.

We are now looking for a Head of Product to own our product end to end.

👀 What makes this opportunity different?

  • The full product. You own the experience on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, web and the API, rather than a slice of a larger product.

  • Users are a message away. Our early users answer when we ask. You will spend a large part of your week talking to them, and what you learn goes into the roadmap.

  • Decisions happen quickly. You work directly with both founders. There is no committee between an idea and shipping it.

  • Ownership. You set the process, the metrics and the rhythm.

🤩 What you’ll do

  • Own the product roadmap across iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, web and the API

  • Talk to users constantly (roughly 30% of your time), and turn what you hear into decisions about what we build next

  • Own the full journey: visiting the website, signing up, inviting a team, having useful conversations, collaborating with other teams, and extending a network

  • Decide what we measure, instrument it properly, and use it to judge whether the work landed

  • Work with our product designer and engineers day to day on scope, sequencing and quality

⚒️ What we’re looking for

  • You're an experienced product manager and have worked on a product (or several products) which you're proud of and can show us

  • You're familiar with growth loops and other key concepts behind user acquisition, engagement and retention

  • You're comfortable with product analytics tools such as Mixpanel or PostHog: you build your own funnels and answer your own questions rather than requesting reports

  • You have a habit of speaking to users directly

  • You are mindful about best practice: you know it well, but you are willing to drop it when it does not fit our situation

  • You care about impact and are honest about what did not work

  • You're curious on how the craft of Product Management is evolving with AI and you build things in your spare time

  • Bonus: you've worked on consumer apps before.

🌱 What we offer

  • Monthly salary from 5,600 EUR (gross), higher depending on experience

  • A front-row seat to building a new category of messaging app

  • A small team where decisions are fast and your work reaches users quickly

  • Office space at Startup House Riga, surrounded by the Riga's most exciting startups

If this sounds like your kind of role, send a message to Rolands (cofounder) on Balsio and tell him about a product you built and what it changed for the people who used it.
