CPO (Europe)

Chief Product Officer — Europe

Hancom · Full-time · Remote/Europe-based

Sector: Sovereign AI & Agentic OS

Hancom — Korea's leading document and AI productivity software company with 36 years of heritage — is launching its next chapter: the Twin-type Agentic OS, an AI-powered system that learns each user's work style and executes tasks autonomously, 24 hours a day. We are now entering Europe, and we are looking for an exceptional Chief Product Officer to own this journey end to end.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Mission: Building the European Alternative to Big Tech through multiple POC projects in Europe

As CPO — Europe, you will carry full ownership of Hancom's product and technology strategy for the European market. This is not a coordination role. You will define, build, and execute — from the first POC partner conversation to a scalable go-to-market. You will report directly to the CEO and operate as Hancom's most senior product voice in Europe.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• Full product & technology strategy for Europe — Define the regional product roadmap, localisation priorities, and integration requirements that align with Hancom's global vision.
• POC pipeline ownership — Identify, qualify, and close 5–10 high-value POC partners across DACH, Benelux, Nordics, and the UK. Design pilot frameworks, define KPIs, and drive each POC to a clear outcome.
• Partner & ecosystem development — Build and manage relationships with enterprise customers, system integrators, and technology partners across Europe.
• HQ bridge — Translate European market signals into actionable product requirements for the Seoul engineering and product teams. Act as the authoritative voice of the European customer internally.
• Regulatory & compliance leadership — Ensure product strategy is aligned with GDPR and evolving EU AI Act requirements from day one.
• Team building — Establish the European product organisation, starting with your own team and scaling as the business grows.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• 10+ years of product leadership experience in B2B Enterprise SaaS, with at least 3 years as CPO or VP of Product
• Proven track record of running POC/pilot programs from ideation through to commercial expansion
• Deep understanding of Agentic AI, workflow automation, or document intelligence — you can hold a credible technical conversation and translate it into business value
• Strong existing enterprise network in Europe (DACH, Benelux, Nordics, or UK)
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity — you are a builder, not just a manager
• Experience collaborating with Asian HQ or cross-cultural global teams is a strong advantage
• Fluent in English; additional European language (German, Dutch, French, or Nordic) a plus
• A note on team building: We believe great leaders need great support. Upon joining, you will have the opportunity to hire your own Assistant to CPO — a dedicated partner who will work alongside you from day one to accelerate execution, manage stakeholder communication, and keep the pace of the program high.

WHY HANCOM

• 36 years of deep document technology expertise — one of Asia's most trusted enterprise software companies
• You are joining at the beginning of a major strategic expansion — not filling a seat in an established hierarchy
• Direct line to the CEO and real authority over European product direction
• Remote-first with regular visits to Seoul HQ and European partner sites

If you are the kind of product leader who wants to plant a flag in a new market and build something from the ground up — backed by a company with the technology, the resources, and the ambition to match — we want to hear from you.
