VP Technology - French Native Speaker [F/M/X]

Job description

As VP Technology and EXCOM member, you'll lead this transformation with a grounded understanding of what running an international marketplace actually requires. You'll translate strategic and commercial priorities into technical decisions, build and lead teams that deliver, whether on what we build ourselves or on the technical integration of third-party tools. You'll own the direction on our technical and data stack, supervise execution across teams, and be the person executive leadership relies on to make the build-vs-buy calls that move the vision forward. The role sits at the intersection of engineering leadership, system integration, and business strategy.

Responsibilities

• Own the technology and platform transformation strategy, bridging business ambition and technical execution across 25 countries

• Represent the tech function at executive committee level and translate strategic priorities into actionable roadmaps

Leadership & Organization

• Lead a multidisciplinary organization of 25-30 people (developers, project managers, squad leads) across multiple geographies

• Operate in an evolving structure, bringing clarity and momentum to teams in a context of transformation

• Foster a delivery culture built on ownership, technical frugality, and measurable outcomes

Systems & Integration

• Ensure reliability, security, and scalability across all platforms

AI & Matching

• Supervise the Matching & Intelligence squad, the only squad producing proprietary IP, and own the quality of the matching algorithm across 500,000+ profiles

• Sponsor the deployment of AI agents across Sales and Ops teams

Your Role

• 10+ years in technology leadership, including at least 5 in an operational role (VP Engineering, VP Product, CTO, Head of Digital or equivalent) ideally at Series B/C scale or in a services business with real tech depth

• Proven background in marketplace, B2B platform, or professional services environments with significant digital complexity

• Track record of driving architecture decisions and integration projects (ERP, CRM, ATS, Data Platform) across multiple countries and teams

• Operational fluency: reads a business problem and turns it into a technical priority

• Build vs. buy judgment: integrates and orchestrates rather than rebuilds

• AI & data literacy: knows what good looks like in ML matching and is hands-on with generative AI adoption

• People leadership: has built and run tech teams of 10 to 30 people across geographies

• Executive communication: translates technical stakes into business language in front of an EXCOM
