Head of Product

Cardoo is an international Series A fintech startup reinventing the rental industry. We help partners increase margins and conversion, while giving customers a smooth, modern deposit-free experience.

Our mission is simple: Replace outdated systems like deposits with smart, embedded infrastructure — and unlock a new standard of trust, speed, and access across the global rental economy. We’re already a multi-million revenue business operating across MENA and Europe — and scaling toward 5–10x growth over the next 18 months. This is your chance to join early and shape what could become a category-defining company (maybe even a future unicorn) from the inside.

The Role

As Head of Product, you will own the full product vision, strategy, and execution. You will lead discovery, define problems, shape solutions, and drive delivery across multiple teams — creating an integrated, reliable platform for our customers and partners.
